NoonArsenal v Manchester City live
Arsenal are under pressure just a handful of matches into the season, having drawn in their past two games and sorely underperforming in a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa last weekend.

2:00 PMF1 Singapore qualifying
Lap-by-lap coverage will keep you up to date in what is bound to be a compelling qualifying. Consecutive victories for Verstappen have injected extra excitement to the championship battle. Piastri and Norris will be desperate for good performances in the Singapore GP. The team's dominance for the majority of the season means they could wrap up a tenth constructors’ title on race day, but Verstappen’s resurgence has triggered some concern. Although Piastri still is ahead of his teammate by 25 points in what seems a two-horse race for the driver’s title, any mistakes could let the Red Bull driver to cut further into the 69-pt deficit to the lead.
Three in the afternoonArsenal v West Ham and Manchester United v Sunderland live
Live blog on compelling fixtures with two coaches especially in focus. The unrelenting attention on Amorim's travails at Manchester United has escalated to critical, and the match with the Black Cats has all the signs of a decisive moment before the break for internationals. The manager's 50th match in charge might be his last, even though the team winning their last two home games. After 49 matches, Amorim’s record reads: won 18, drawn 12, lost 19. That 36.7 percent win percentage is much lower with his predecessor's ten Hag's 70% at the same stage. West Ham, on the other hand, play for their second match under Nuno Espírito Santo, after Monday’s 1-1 tie at Goodison Park. West Ham have the interesting record of having defeated Arsenal in consecutive games at the Emirates. A further loss at home by their London rivals appears improbable given the Gunners’ form – six victories from their past eight Premier League fixtures.
5.30pmLive: Chelsea vs Liverpool
Saturday’s late afternoon fixture sees the collision of clubs in a poor run. Maresca's Blues have endured back-to-back Premier League defeats, to Manchester United and Brighton, while the defending champions lost 2-1 to Crystal Palace before stumbling in the European competition in Istanbul in the week. Arne Slot’s team are without a win in their last four Premier League games at their home ground but have not lost consecutive league matches since last April. Looking for omens? Alexander Isak, Liverpool’s new signing, has found the net in his past two Premier League appearances at Stamford Bridge, though both games ended in losses for his then club Newcastle. Minute-by-minute coverage will be provided.

11:45 AMLive: Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe
All the buildup and post-race reaction from one of the horse racing's most prestigious events will be available. In a field of seventeen for the 3.05pm feature race, the O'Brien-trained Minnie Hauk is the 3/1 favourite after being handed a ideal draw in gate 1. The trainer, who is seeking a third win in the race, also runs another contender, third-placed last year, but he will have to overcome gate 14 to win. Another runner, who is just behind the favorite in the betting, was given gate 12. Chances of a maiden Japanese-trained winner were dealt a blow, with the Japanese Derby winner, one entry, and the Prix Foy winner, Byzantine Dream, assigned in gates 17 and 15 each. Their compatriot Alohi Alii appears better placed in gate 4. Fabre's pair of Sosie and Cualificar did better with gates 3 and 8 respectively, while Francis-Henri Graffard’s trio Daryz, Quisisana and Gezora.
1:00 PMLive: Singapore GP
Live commentary of the big race under the night lights will be provided. 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 requires a spectacular McLaren drop in form, as well as victories in the seven remaining races and three sprint races, to {clin
