Join the Thrills: Arc de Triomphe, NFL, English Premier League and Beyond
Weekend Kickoff
8:00 AM British Summer TimeLive matchday coverage
Our vital gateway to the day’s football action begins at 8am. Updates will examine the quartet of Premier League fixtures, featuring the early kick-off between Tottenham v Leeds and the late afternoon game between Chelsea v Liverpool. Team news and breaking stories will be shared, along with analysis from Friday's Fulham v Bournemouth encounter and the Championship fixture Wrexham v Birmingham. Elsewhere, in the Championship, Stoke meet Blackburn, while Hull face Sheffield United.
12:00 PMArsenal v Manchester City live
Arsenal are feeling the heat just a handful of matches into the campaign, having drawn in their past two games and underachieving in a 1-1 draw against Villa last weekend. The Arsenal are behind Chelsea by four points. Manchester City, on the other hand, have rebounded from their opening round defeat to achieve three straight victories and are third in the WSL table, whereas Arsenal are in unexpected fifth. Live coverage will be provided.
2:00 PMF1 Singapore qualifying
Live commentary will provide the latest in what is certain to be a compelling qualifying. Consecutive victories for Verstappen have injected more intrigue to the title race. Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris will be keen for good performances in the Singapore GP. McLaren’s strong form for most of the season means they could wrap up a tenth constructors championship on Sunday, but Verstappen's comeback has triggered anxiety. While the Australian still leads his teammate by 25 pts in what seems a two-driver battle for the driver's championship, any hiccups could allow the Red Bull driver to reduce the 69-point gap to the lead.
3:00 PMArsenal v West Ham and Manchester United v Sunderland live
Coverage on key matches with two managers especially under pressure. The unrelenting focus on Ruben Amorim’s struggles at Manchester United has escalated to a crucial point, and the meeting with the Black Cats has all the signs of a turning point before the international break. Amorim’s 50th match in charge could be his last, despite United winning their last two home games. After 49 games, his stats reads: won 18, 12 draws, lost 19. That 36.7% win rate contrasts starkly with his predecessor's Erik ten Hag’s 70% at the same stage. The Hammers, on the other hand, play for their second game under Nuno, after Monday’s 1-1 tie at Everton. West Ham have the curious statistic of having beaten the Gunners back-to-back at the Emirates. A further loss at home by their London rivals seems unlikely given the Arsenal's recent form – six victories from their last eight Premier League fixtures.
5.30pmChelsea v Liverpool live
Saturday’s evening fixture sees the collision of clubs in a poor run. Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea have endured successive Premier League defeats, to Manchester United and Brighton, while the title holders lost 2-1 to Crystal Palace before stumbling in the Champions League in Istanbul in the week. Slot's side are winless in their past four Premier League games at their home ground but have not lost back-to-back league matches since last April. Looking for signs? Alexander Isak, Liverpool’s new signing, has found the net in his last two Premier League games at the Bridge, though both games resulted in losses for his former team Newcastle United. Minute-by-minute coverage will be hosted.
Sunday
8amMatchday coverage
Coverage will review the reaction from Saturday's matches before previewing a Sunday's schedule that includes five Premier League matches as well as the local derby, as Ipswich Town host Norwich in the Championship at noon. In the Scottish Premiership, both Glasgow giants are in action. Celtic face Motherwell and struggling Rangers visit Falkirk FC. In Europe, Barcelona v Sevilla is among five La Liga games, while Juventus face Milan in a high-profile Serie A clash.
Quarter to twelvePrix de l’Arc de Triomphe live
Full coverage and washup from one of the horse racing's most prestigious events will be provided. In a field of 17 for the 3.05pm big race, the Aidan O’Brien-trained Minnie Hauk is the 3-1 favorite after being handed a good draw in gate 1. O’Brien, who is seeking a third win in the race, also runs Los Angeles, third last year, but the horse will have to defy gate 14 to claim victory. Another runner, who is just behind the favorite in the odds, was given stall 12. Hopes of a first Japanese-trained winner were hurt, with the Derby victor, one entry, and the Prix Foy winner, Byzantine Dream, assigned in gates 17 and 15 each. Their compatriot Alohi Alii appears more favorably positioned in gate 4. Fabre's duo of two runners fared better with stalls three and eight each, while Francis-Henri Graffard’s three could have done worse.
1:00 PMLive: Singapore GP
Real-time updates of the big race under the Singapore lights will be offered. Clearly Max Verstappen has momentum – he was second at his home race in the Netherlands before his victories in Italy and Baku – but probably still needs a major McLaren drop in form, as well as victories in the final seven races and three sprint races, to {clin
