Here’s how to follow live rugby union, Premier League buildup and action with our writers and live reporters
After a (mostly) exciting set of matches on the first weekend, we’ll have all the buildup to the Premier League’s second Saturday of the season, plus reaction to West Ham v Chelsea, with Billy Munday and John Brewin. There may also be news of more transfer targets being hijacked by a club’s fiercest rivals, as we get to less than 10 days before the window closes. Our correspondents will be chipping in with the latest transfer news, while Jamie Jackson will be checking in from the Etihad Stadium, before Manchester City v Tottenham.
After Friday night’s opener between England and the USA, the Women’s Rugby World Cup continues in Salford. Australia are expected to be too strong for the Pacific islanders, in what is expected to be a warm-up for the Wallaroos’ key Pool A game, against the USA next Saturday. Daniel Gallan is helming the minute-by-minute blog, while Aaron Bower will cover this match and the Scotland v Wales Pool B game that follows, before Sarah Rendell reports from York on the day’s other game in that section, Canada v Fiji.
A nice, easy game for Spurs fans to look forward to after Eberechi Eze’s relocation to north London took an unexpected diversion. Tottenham began with a convincing home win over Burnley last Saturday, but the deposed serial champions will surely be tougher opponents. Billy Munday brings you minute-by-minute coverage as City look to follow up the 4-0 dispatching of Wolves against opponents who have caused Pep Guardiola a fair deal of angst down the years, last season’s equivalent fixture being a 4-0 win for Angeball. Jamie Jackson will provide the match report and the managers’ reactions.
