Coverage of the match from Mattioli Woods Welford Road Stadium. The hosts ran out comfortable winners in the last meeting between these two sides back in March as they claimed a 36-17 victory away from home. The game was ultimately decided in the first half as Leicester ran in five tries to lead 29-5 at half-time as they picked up an important win at Kingsholm Stadium.

Arsenal v Leeds United (Premier League)

10 Oct 12:30

Coverage of the top-flight match from Emirates Stadium. The hosts ran out comfortable winners in both league meetings last season as they picked up 5-0 and 4-0 victories against their visitors. Braces from Jurrien Timber and Viktor Gyokeres gave Arsenal the 5-0 win at this ground, before two goals in each half gave them a 4-0 victory at Elland Road in late January.

Northampton v Bath Rugby (Rugby Union - English Premiership)

10 Oct 15:05

Coverage of the match from Franklin's Gardens. The last time these two sides met back in late April produced a thrilling game that saw 12 tries scored across the 80 minutes. The Saints went into the second half leading 26-14 before Bath fought back with three tries in the second period, but the hosts held on to claim a 41-38 victory.

Saracens v Bristol Bears (Rugby Union - English Premiership)

10 Oct 17:30

Coverage of the match from StoneX Stadium. These two sides last met towards the end of last season in early May with the hosts claiming an impressive 41-26 victory in Bristol. The game was still evenly poised towards the end of the game before Saracens ran in a 78th-minute try to confirm the win.

Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur (Premier League)

10 Oct 17:30

Coverage of the Premier League match from Old Trafford, as both sides play their first game after the international break. The hosts have been below-par so far this season having only picked up five points from their opening five matches. Their visitors have fared even worse, claiming just two points in their five games and are currently bottom of the table coming into this round of fixtures.

Singapore Grand Prix (Formula 1)

11 Oct 13:00

Coverage of the 17th round of the Formula One season from the Marina Bay Street Circuit. One of the most demanding races on the calendar, Singapore's spectacular night race takes place around the floodlit streets of Marina Bay, with the 4.927km circuit featuring 19 corners and little room for error. The race has been a fixture on the F1 calendar since 2008 and was the sport's first night-time Grand Prix. With the championship battle continuing to intensify, drivers will face a gruelling test of concentration and precision as they tackle the heat, humidity and unforgiving barriers of Marina Bay.

Crystal Palace v Nottingham Forest (Premier League)

11 Oct 14:00

Coverage of the Premier League match from Selhurst Park. Palace welcome Forest in the first Premier League weekend back after the international break, with both sides looking to build momentum as the campaign develops. The visitors have already faced Palace this season in the reverse fixture, while the Eagles will be hoping their home advantage can help them claim another valuable three points. With Forest also facing a busy schedule across domestic and European competition, this could be an important test for both sides.

Hull City v Everton (Premier League)

11 Oct 14:00

Coverage of the Premier League match at MKM Stadium. The teams last met here in the third round of the FA Cup in the 2021/22 season, when Everton claimed a 3-2 win. The Tigers will be hopeful of earning a result this time around after enjoying a strong start to the campaign that saw them lose just one of their first five league games, but the Toffees also started the season well.

Exeter Chiefs v Newcastle Red Bulls (Rugby Union - English Premiership)

11 Oct 15:00

Coverage of the match from Sandy Park. These two sides last met in late March in Newcastle as the Chiefs came away with a comfortable 38-14 victory. They were already 31-7 up at half-time and scored early in the second period to extend their lead, before the Red Bulls scored a 79th-minute consolation try.

Liverpool v Manchester City (Premier League)

11 Oct 16:30

All the action from the Premier League match at Anfield. City did the double over the Reds last season, prevailing 3-0 at Etihad Stadium and 2-1 here, and they have started the current campaign with wins in all of their opening five league games. Liverpool have also made an unbeaten start to this term under new manager Andoni Iraola, but they have drawn three of those contests and this looks to be their toughest test so far.

Coventry City v Newcastle United (Premier League)

12 Oct 20:00

Coverage of the Premier League match at Coventry Building Society Arena. The newly promoted hosts endured a difficult start to the season, losing their first four league matches, but they bounced back with a victory at Nottingham Forest before the international break. Meanwhile, Newcastle have had a steady campaign so far with two wins, two draws and just one loss.

Arsenal v Lille (Champions League)

13 Oct 20:00

Coverage of the league phase match from Emirates Stadium. Martin Odegaard scored a 75th-minute winner in Arsenal's first game of this year's competition as the Gunners won 1-0 away at Napoli.
