Women's Super League

12pmArsenal Travel to Everton

Saturday’s lunchtime Women’s Super League fixture sees Arsenal touching down to Goodison Park fresh from victories over Liverpool and Twente. The Gunners are fourth in the table, while Everton stand at ninth after they ended Chelsea’s long unbeaten run last weekend with a 1-0 win. It has been said that Everton are “a very unpredictable team” who “can do different things,” requiring opponents to assess their plan early. Minute-by-minute updates will be led by our live blog host, with correspondent on the ground.

15:00Afternoon Watch

Our host will be guiding the focus on two of Saturday afternoon’s key games. Chelsea are an erratic lot. The side are without a win in their last three Premier League matches as they host an Everton side that is on a roll, having won four of their last five league matches. Meanwhile, Liverpool are wobbling from a loss of form and off-field issues, though their midweek European win shows they are far from a spent force. They face Brighton, who beat them 3-2 in their last meeting. Correspondents will be providing reports from both venues.

8pmLive: Arsenal vs Wolves

A matchup of top versus rock bottom, and the history are not good for Wolves. Arsenal have won their last eight Premier League games against them. Furthermore, Wolves remain winless in all 15 Premier League games this season. Arsenal are looking 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 blip, although a growing injury list is a concern. Coverage will be staffed by our host, with a reporter at the Emirates.

Wolves have the daunting task of a trip to Arsenal on Saturday night.

The presenter 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 on the back of a thrilling European fightback and as the league’s leading scorers. Elsewhere, 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 in position for both matches.

16:30Late Afternoon Kickoff

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 turnaround. 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. A reporter will be reporting from west London.

Brentford will hope to get back to winning ways after two defeats in a row.
American football

18:00Sunday NFL Live

The presenter 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.
