8am (all times BST)Weekend Football Portal

Kicking off the weekend's coverage is our essential live blog for the weekend’s bumper football fixtures. The presenter will be looking forward to the day’s four Premier League games, alongside Championship, EFL and Scottish Premiership matches, and sharing breaking news and fan interaction. Why not send in your thoughts.

12:00 PMEverton v Arsenal live

Saturday’s lunchtime Women’s Super League fixture sees Arsenal heading to Goodison Park on the back of victories over Liverpool and Twente. The Gunners sit fourth in the table, while Everton stand at ninth but ended 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 helmed by the presenter, with a reporter on the ground.

3pmClockwatch

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 and meet an Everton side that is 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 not a spent force. They face Brighton, who beat them 3-2 in their last meeting. Correspondents will be filing updates from both grounds.

20:00Top Hosts Bottom

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 blip, though a growing injury list is a concern. Our live blog will be staffed by the presenter, with correspondent 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 key 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 look ahead to Monday night’s Premier League meeting.

2pmLive Multi-Match Coverage

The presenter hosts our live blog with two key 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 on the back of 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 on site for both matches.

4.30pmLate 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 catalyst 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. Our correspondent will be reporting from 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.
