Women’s Super League

12:00 PMManchester City v Arsenal live

The Gunners are struggling just a handful of matches into the season, having dropped points in their recent games and underachieving in a 1-1 draw against Villa last weekend. The Arsenal are behind the Blues by 4 points. Manchester City, meanwhile, have recovered from their opening round loss to notch up three wins in a row and hold third place in the WSL table, whereas Arsenal are in surprising fifth place. Real-time reporting will be offered.

Grand Prix

2:00 PMSingapore Grand Prix qualifying

Real-time commentary will bring you all the action in what is sure to be a compelling qualifying. Consecutive victories for Verstappen have added a bit of spice to the title race. Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris will be desperate for good outings in Singapore. McLaren’s strong form for most of the season means they should secure a tenth constructors’ title on Sunday, but Verstappen’s resurgence has triggered anxiety. Although Piastri still is ahead of his teammate by 25 pts in what appears to be a two-horse race for the driver’s title, any setbacks could allow the Red Bull driver to reduce the 69-point gap to first place.

EPL

Three in the afternoonLive: Arsenal vs West Ham & Man Utd vs Sunderland

Live blog on compelling fixtures with a pair of managers particularly under the spotlight. The constant focus on Ruben Amorim’s struggles at United has increased to a crucial point, and the match with Sunderland has all the signs of a decisive moment before the break for internationals. The manager's 50th match in charge might be his final, despite United winning their past two home fixtures. After 49 matches, Amorim’s record reads: 18 wins, drawn 12, 19 losses. That 36.7 percent win rate differs greatly with his predecessor's ten Hag's 70% at the same stage. The Hammers, meanwhile, run out for their second game under Nuno Espírito Santo, after Monday’s 1-1 tie at Everton. West Ham have the interesting record of having defeated the Gunners in consecutive games at the Emirates. Another loss at home by their local rivals is doubtful given the Arsenal's form – six wins from their past eight Premier League fixtures.

Premier League

Half past fiveLive: Chelsea vs Liverpool

Saturday’s late afternoon fixture sees the meeting of teams in a dip in form. Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea have suffered back-to-back Premier League losses, to United and Brighton & Hove Albion, while the defending champions lost 2-1 to Crystal Palace before slipping up in the European competition in Turkey in the week. Slot's team are without a win in their past four Premier League games at Stamford Bridge but have not suffered back-to-back league matches since April 2023. Searching for omens? Alexander Isak, Liverpool’s summer signing, has found the net in his last two Premier League appearances at Stamford Bridge, though both games ended in losses for his then club Newcastle United. Real-time updates will be provided.

Horse Racing

11.45amLive: Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe

Full coverage and washup from one of the horse racing's biggest events will be provided. In a lineup of seventeen for the 3.05pm big race, the O'Brien-trained Minnie Hauk is the 3-1 favourite after being given a favourable starting position in gate 1. O’Brien, who is aiming for a third win in the race, also runs Los Angeles, third-placed last year, but he will have to defy stall 14 to win. Aventure, who is just after the favorite in the betting, was handed gate 12. Chances of a maiden Japanese winner were dealt a blow, with the Japanese Derby winner, Croix Du Nord, and the Prix Foy winner, another, assigned in gates 17 and 15 respectively. Their compatriot Alohi Alii appears better placed in gate 4. André Fabre’s pair of Sosie and Cualificar fared better with gates 3 and 8 respectively, while Graffard's three Daryz, Quisisana and Gezora.

One in the afternoonSingapore Grand Prix live

Live coverage of the big race under the Singapore lights will be provided. Clearly Max Verstappen has form – he was second at his home Grand Prix in the Netherlands before his victories in Monza and Baku – but probably still needs a spectacular McLaren drop in form, as well as victories in the final seven races and three sprints, to {clin
