The weekend's football begins with two massive derby games. In the Premier League, Everton take on Liverpool in the Merseyside derby.
Jurgen Klopp's side come into the game after beating Bournemouth 9-0 at Anfield, a joint-record score for a Premier League match, and recording a late win over Newcastle.
Liverpool also won this fixture comfortably last season, running out 4-1 winners at Goodison Park, and they face a Toffees team still searching for their first win of the season.

Meanwhile, in the Scottish Premiership, Celtic face Rangers in the first Old Firm derby of the season.

Next up, Tottenham Hotspur face Fulham in the Premier League.
Spurs' progress this season stalled with their 1-1 draw away to West Ham, but they will still be favourites for this weekend's game. Fulham, however, are showing they are no pushovers and have gone toe to toe with sides such as Arsenal and Liverpool so far this season.
You can stream Spurs versus Fulham with a NOW Sports Extra Membership. Kick-off is at 3 pm.
In the final Premier League game of the day, Aston Villa host Manchester City.
Villa almost denied Man City the Premier League title on the last day of the season in May, but they would be pleased just to keep the score down this weekend.
Steven Gerrard's side are in poor form and look set for a long, difficult campaign. Man City, meanwhile, are scoring for fun. Erling Haaland has scored an incredible nine goals in five games so far this season.

In the final Premier League game of the weekend, Manchester United host Arsenal.
This is one of the most famous fixtures in Premier League history, and Sunday's tie should be a keenly fought encounter between two high-pressing sides who are seeking to return to former glories.
Arsenal come into the game as favourites following an excellent start to the season. Man United, meanwhile, are finding their feet after a terrible start to the campaign.

The Dutch Grand Prix also takes place on Sunday.
Verstappen won the race at Circuit Zandvoort last year and will be the favourite for this weekend's edition.
