The complete guide to a busy weekend of soccer and NFL action, featuring live blogs, crucial fixtures, and everything you need timings.

Saturday

8am (all times BST)Live Matchday Blog

Kicking off the weekend's action is our go-to live blog for the weekend’s bumper football fixtures. Our host will be covering the four Premier League games, as well as Championship, EFL and Scottish Premiership fixtures, and sharing latest updates and reader feedback. You are invited to get involved.

12pmEverton v Arsenal live

Saturday’s early Women’s Super League fixture sees Arsenal traveling to Goodison Park on the back of victories over Liverpool and Twente. Arsenal sit fourth in the table, while Everton are in ninth after they ended 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 figure out their plan early. Our coverage will be led by our live blog host, with a reporter at the match.

15:00Live Multi-Match Coverage

Our host is in the hotseat the focus on two of Saturday afternoon’s highlight games. Chelsea are an erratic lot. They 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 have hit a rough patch from a dip in results 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. Reporters will be providing reports from both venues.

20:00Top 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 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 minor setback, although a growing injury list is a concern. Coverage will be staffed by the presenter, with correspondent at the Emirates.

Sunday

08:00Matchday live

Our hosts 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 key European fixtures involving clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. There will be goal updates from the early WSL kick-offs, wash-up from Saturday’s games, and a look ahead to Monday night’s Premier League meeting.

14:00Afternoon Action

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. 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.

16:30Brentford v Leeds

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 catalyst 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 end their poor run. A reporter will be reporting from west London.

6pmNFL clockwatch

Our host hosts our key 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 markedly. 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.
