Your comprehensive rundown to a busy weekend of soccer and NFL action, featuring live blogs, key matchups, and all the essential details.

Saturday

8am (all times BST)Weekend Football Portal

Starting the day's action is our comprehensive portal for the weekend’s bumper football programme. Our host will be covering the day’s four Premier League games, alongside Championship, EFL and Scottish Premiership fixtures, and sharing breaking news and fan interaction. You are invited to get involved.

12pmLive: Everton vs Arsenal

Saturday’s early Women’s Super League fixture features Arsenal touching down to Goodison Park on the back of victories over Liverpool and Twente. The Gunners sit fourth in the table, while Everton stand at ninth after they halted Chelsea’s long unbeaten run last weekend with a 1-0 win. A preview noted that Everton are “a very unpredictable team” who “can do different things,” requiring opponents to assess their structure early. Our coverage will be helmed by our live blog host, with a reporter on the ground.

3pmClockwatch

The presenter is in the hotseat the coverage on two of Saturday afternoon’s highlight games. Chelsea are an erratic lot. The side are without a win in their last three Premier League matches and meet an Everton side that is on a roll, having won four of their last five league matches. Meanwhile, Liverpool have hit a rough patch from a dip in results and internal fallout, though their Champions League win shows they are not a spent force. They face Brighton, who beat them 3-2 in their last meeting. Correspondents will be providing reports from both venues.

8pmTop Hosts Bottom

A matchup of top versus rock bottom, and the signs are not good for Wolves. Arsenal have won their last eight Premier League games against them. Adding to that, Wolves remain winless in all 15 Premier League games this season. Arsenal are aiming to win five consecutive home Premier League matches and bounce back from their loss last week. A 3-0 midweek win in Europe suggests that defeat was a minor setback, although a growing injury list is a concern. Coverage will be managed by our host, with correspondent at the Emirates.

Sunday

8amMatchday live

The presenters clock on to keep you abreast of all Sunday’s football action. This includes five games in the WSL, the same number in the Premier League, the Scottish League Cup final, and exciting European fixtures involving clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. There will be goal updates from the lunchtime WSL kick-offs, wash-up from Saturday’s games, and a look ahead to Monday night’s Premier League meeting.

2pmClockwatch

Our host manages our live blog with two key games in focus. Crystal Palace confront Manchester City for the first time since Palace’s cup final win, though their home league record against City is poor. City arrive after a thrilling European fightback and as the league’s top scorers. In the other game, Tottenham travel to a struggling Nottingham Forest. Spurs' away record is strong, with only one team having won more away games this season. Correspondents will be on site for both matches.

16:30Leeds Visit Brentford

Our host is on coverage duty for the late afternoon kickoff where Leeds arrive with confidence after good results against top sides. A formation change has been the key for their improved form. Brentford have lost their last two league games. Given Leeds' poor historical record in London, the home side might fancy their chances to turnaround their poor run. Our correspondent will be at west London.

18:00American Football Watch

Our host hosts our essential companion to Sunday’s NFL programme. The New England Patriots can win their first division title this decade by defeating the Buffalo Bills. The Patriots are on an 11-game winning streak. Buffalo has won the past five division crowns, but New England has improved significantly. In another crucial game, the Kansas City Chiefs, with their long playoff streak in jeopardy, host the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chiefs are outside the playoff picture and face elimination if they lose and other results go against them. The Chargers are currently in a playoff position.
