Your comprehensive guide to a packed weekend of football and NFL action, featuring live blogs, crucial fixtures, and vital information.

Saturday

8am (all times BST)Matchday live

Kicking off the weekend's action is our go-to live blog for the weekend’s bumper football programme. Our host will be previewing the day’s four Premier League games, alongside Championship, EFL and Scottish Premiership fixtures, while also sharing breaking news and reader feedback. You are invited to get involved.

12:00 PMEverton v Arsenal live

Saturday’s lunchtime Women’s Super League fixture sees Arsenal heading to Goodison Park fresh from victories over Liverpool and Twente. Arsenal sit fourth in the table, while Everton are in ninth but 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 assess their plan early. Our coverage will be helmed by our live blog host, with correspondent on the ground.

3pmClockwatch

Our host is in the hotseat the focus on two of Saturday afternoon’s key games. Chelsea have been inconsistent. They 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, despite their midweek European win shows they are not a spent force. They face Brighton, who beat them 3-2 in their last meeting. Correspondents will be filing updates from both grounds.

20:00Top Hosts Bottom

The fixture 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 shrug off 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 worry. Coverage will be managed by the presenter, with a reporter at the Emirates.

Sunday

08:00Matchday live

Our hosts are on duty to keep you updated on 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 lunchtime 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 front and centre. 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 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. Reporters will be in position for both matches.

4.30pmLate Afternoon Kickoff

Our host is on liveblog 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 turnaround. 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. Our correspondent will be reporting from west London.

6pmAmerican 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 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.
