NoonLive: Man City vs Arsenal
The Gunners are under pressure just a handful of matches into the campaign, having failed to win in their recent games and underachieving in a 1-1 tie against Aston Villa last Saturday. Renee Slegers’ Arsenal already trail Chelsea by four points. City, meanwhile, have recovered from their first game loss to achieve a trio of wins and hold third place in the WSL table, while Arsenal are in surprising fifth place. Minute-by-minute updates will be offered.
2:00 PMSingapore Grand Prix qualifying
Live commentary will keep you up to date in what is bound to be a compelling session. Consecutive victories for Verstappen have injected a bit of spice to the championship battle. Piastri and Norris will be desperate for strong performances in the Singapore GP. The team's dominance for most of the season means they could wrap up a tenth constructors championship on race day, but the Dutchman's improved form has triggered some concern. While Piastri still is ahead of Norris by 25 pts in what seems a two-horse race for the driver’s title, any setbacks could let the Red Bull driver to close the 69-point deficit to the lead.
3:00 PMLive: Arsenal vs West Ham & Man Utd vs Sunderland
Updates on key fixtures with two managers particularly under the spotlight. The constant attention on Ruben Amorim’s struggles at Manchester United has ramped up to a crucial point, and the meeting with Sunderland has all the makings of a watershed before the break for internationals. Amorim’s fiftieth match in charge may be his final, despite United having won their last two home fixtures. Following 49 matches, Amorim’s record reads: 18 wins, 12 draws, 19 losses. That 36.7% win percentage is much lower with his predecessor Erik ten Hag’s 70 percent at the equivalent point. West Ham, on the other hand, play for their second match under Nuno EspĂrito Santo, after Monday’s 1-1 draw at Everton. West Ham have the interesting record of having defeated Arsenal back-to-back at the Emirates Stadium. Another home defeat by their local rivals appears improbable given the Arsenal's form – six wins from their last eight top-flight fixtures.
5:30 PMLive: Chelsea vs Liverpool
Saturday’s evening match sees the collision of clubs in a poor run. Maresca's Chelsea have suffered back-to-back Premier League losses, to Manchester United and Brighton & Hove Albion, while the title holders were beaten 2-1 to Crystal Palace before stumbling in the European competition in Turkey in the week. Arne Slot’s team are winless in their past four Premier League games at their home ground but have not suffered consecutive league matches since last April. Searching for omens? Isak, the Reds' new signing, has found the net in his last two Premier League games at Stamford Bridge, though both games ended in losses for his former team Newcastle United. Real-time updates will be hosted.

Quarter to twelvePrix de l’Arc de Triomphe live
All the buildup and post-race reaction from one of the horse racing's biggest events will be available. In a lineup of seventeen for the 3:05 PM big race, the Aidan O’Brien-trained Minnie Hauk is the 3-1 favourite after being handed a favourable starting position in gate 1. The trainer, who is seeking a third win in the race, also fields another contender, third-placed last year, but he will have to overcome stall 14 to claim victory. Another runner, who is just after Minnie Hauk in the betting, was given stall 12. Chances of a first Japanese-trained winner were dealt a blow, with the Derby victor, one entry, and the Prix Foy winner, Byzantine Dream, drawn in stalls 17 and 15 respectively. Their countryman a third Japanese runner appears better placed in gate 4. André Fabre’s duo of two runners did better with stalls three and eight respectively, while Graffard's trio had reasonable draws.

Live updates of the main event under the night lights will be offered. Clearly Max Verstappen has form – he was runner-up at his home race in the Dutch GP before his wins in Monza and Azerbaijan – but likely still needs a major the team's drop in form, as well as wins in the seven remaining races and three sprints, to {clin
