Ways to Follow Live English Top-Flight, Women's Super League and NFL Games This Weekend
The ultimate guide to a action-packed weekend of football and American football, featuring live blogs, key matchups, and vital timings.
Saturday
8am (all times BST)Live Matchday Blog
Starting the day's coverage is our comprehensive live blog for the full slate of football fixtures. The presenter will be looking forward to the day’s four Premier League games, as well as Championship, EFL and Scottish Premiership matches, while also sharing latest updates and reader feedback. You are invited to join the conversation.
12pmArsenal Travel to Everton
Saturday’s early Women’s Super League fixture sees Arsenal touching down to Goodison Park on the back of victories over Liverpool and Twente. The Gunners are fourth in the table, while Everton are in 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 plan early. Minute-by-minute updates will be led by our live blog host, with a reporter at the match.
3pmAfternoon Watch
The presenter is in the hotseat the coverage on two of Saturday afternoon’s highlight games. Chelsea have been inconsistent. They are without a win in their last three Premier League matches as they host an Everton side who are on a roll, having won four of their last five league matches. In another game, Liverpool are wobbling from a loss of form and off-field issues, despite their Champions League win shows they are far from a spent force. They face Brighton, who beat them 3-2 in their last meeting. Correspondents will be filing updates from both grounds.
20:00Arsenal v Wolves live
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. Furthermore, Wolves remain winless in all 15 Premier League games this season. Arsenal are aiming 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 concern. Coverage will be managed by the presenter, with a reporter at the Emirates.
Sunday's Schedule
08:00Weekend Roundup
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 exciting European fixtures involving clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. There will be goal updates from the early WSL kick-offs, analysis from Saturday’s games, and a preview to Monday night’s Premier League meeting.
2pmAfternoon Action
The presenter hosts our live blog with two major 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 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.
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. A reporter will be reporting from west London.
6pmSunday NFL Live
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.
