With late-night Premier League clashes, Asia Cup showdowns in the UAE, and the World Athletics Championships getting underway, fans can expect nonstop drama and entertainment.

The Premier League is set to grab attention with a string of big fixtures. Arsenal welcome Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening, looking to sharpen their form after an uneven start. Later that night, Tottenham travel to West Ham for a heated London derby that always promises intensity.

The early hours of Sunday bring Brentford against Chelsea, a test for the Blues at one of the league's toughest venues. Later on, Liverpool head to Burnley in what could be a clash of styles, before the weekend's main event — the Manchester Derby.
