Saturday

8am (all times BST)Weekend Football Portal

Kicking off the day's action is our essential hub for the full slate of football programme. The presenter will be previewing the day’s four Premier League games, as well as Championship, EFL and Scottish Premiership fixtures, while also sharing latest updates and reader feedback. Feel free to send in your thoughts.

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 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. It has been said that Everton are “a very unpredictable team” who “can do different things,” requiring opponents to figure out their structure early. Our coverage will be led by the presenter, with correspondent at the match.

15:00Live Multi-Match Coverage

The presenter is in the hotseat the focus on two of Saturday afternoon’s key 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. In another game, Liverpool have hit a rough patch from a dip in results and off-field issues, though their Champions League 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 venues.

20:00Top Hosts Bottom

The fixture of top versus rock bottom, and the history 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 aiming 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, though a growing injury list is a concern. Our live blog will be managed by our host, with correspondent at the Emirates.

Sunday

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 lunchtime WSL kick-offs, analysis from Saturday’s games, and a look ahead to Monday night’s Premier League meeting.

2pmLive Multi-Match Coverage

Our host manages our live blog with two major 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 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. Reporters will be in position for both matches.

16:30Late 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 key for their improved form. Brentford have lost their last two league games. Given Leeds' poor historical record in London, the home side might expect to turnaround their poor run. A reporter will be at west London.

6pmNFL clockwatch

The presenter 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 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.
