Coverage of the Premier League match at Stadium of Light. Burnley claimed a 2-0 win in August's reverse fixture at Turf Moor courtesy of goals by Josh Cullen and Jaidon Anthony, but Sunderland have enjoyed a far stronger season than their fellow promoted side so far and will expect to make home advantage count this evening.

Sunderland v Burnley (Premier League)
2026 Premier League Darts (Darts)
Coverage from the first round of the season, which takes place at Utilita Arena Newcastle. Last season saw Luke Humphries beat Luke Littler 11-8 in the final at the O2 in London to claim the Premier League title for the first time. Humphries had beaten Nathan Aspinall 10-7 to reach the final, while Littler beat Gerwyn Price by the same scoreline in the other semi-final to set up the showdown.
Leeds United v Nottingham Forest (Premier League)
Coverage of the Premier League match from Elland Road. Both sides are fighting to stay in the top flight currently so three points for either side would be a massive result in their quest to retain their Premier League status. The reverse fixture back in November saw the visitors take all three points as they came from behind to beat their hosts 3-1 at the City Ground.
Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur (Premier League)
Coverage of the top-flight match from Old Trafford. The reverse fixture back in November saw Matthijs de Ligt score a 96th-minute equaliser to earn the Red Devils a 2-2 draw. Bryan Mbuemo had given the hosts the lead in the 32nd minute before late goals from Mathys Tel and Richarlison looked like they had earned Spurs all three points, only for de Ligt's goal gave United a deserved point.
Newcastle United v Brentford (Premier League)
Coverage of the Premier League match at St James' Park. Both these teams are challenging for European places for next season, but it was Brentford who took the honours at Gtech Community Stadium in November. Harvey Barnes gave Newcastle the lead on that occasion, but a goal by Kevin Schade and Igor Thiag's brace after Dan Burn had been sent off for the Magpies gave Keith Andrews' men a 3-1 win.
Brighton v Crystal Palace (Premier League)
Coverage of the Premier League match at Amex Stadium. Palace are unbeaten in their last three meetings with their rivals, having beaten them home and away last term and drawn 0-0 at Selhurst Park in November, but they have struggled for form in recent weeks and Brighton will be hopeful of making home advantage count this time around.
Liverpool v Manchester City (Premier League)
Coverage of the Premier League match at Anfield. City claimed an impressive 3-0 win in November's reverse fixture at Etihad Stadium thanks to goals by Erling Haaland, Nico Gonzalez and Jeremy Doku, but Liverpool will expect to perform better in front of their own fans and won 2-0 here in last season's corresponding fixture.
Tottenham Hotspur v Newcastle United (Premier League)
Coverage of the top-flight match from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Cristian Romero scored twice in the reverse fixture back in December as Tottenham came from behind on two occasions to earn a 2-2 draw. Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon had twice given the Magpies the lead inside the final 15 minutes, but Romero's 95th minute overhead kick spoilt things for Newcastle.
Chelsea v Leeds United (Premier League)
Coverage of the top-flight match from Stamford Bridge. The reverse fixture in early December saw the visitors pick up an impressive 3-1 victory against a Chelsea side that struggled to deal with Leeds' energy. First-half goals from Jaka Bijol and Ao Tanaka had given the Whites a 2-0 lead at half-time before Pedro Neto pulled a goal back for the Blues early on in the second half. However Leeds weren't to be denied an important three points as Dominic Calvert-Lewin made it 3-1 in the 72nd minute
West Ham United v Manchester United (Premier League)
Coverage of the top-flight match from The London Stadium, in a key game for both sides. The hosts are fighting relegation and a win here would give much-needed confidence to a side that have struggled for much of the season. The visitors on the other hand are still in the hunt for a Champions League place, and a win here would certainly improve their chances of finishing in the top four.
Ireland v Italy (Rugby Union - Six Nations)
Coverage of Round 2 of the Six Nations from the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. Ireland come into this clash against Italy with a dominant head‑to‑head record stretching back decades — they have won the vast majority of their meetings and beat Italy 22‑17 in Rome last season. Italy, who have shown encouraging form in recent campaigns and avoided finishing last in the previous two editions, will be aiming to build on that progress and trouble Ireland on home turf.
Wales v France (Rugby Union - Six Nations)
Coverage of Round 2 of the Six Nations from the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. Wales host France in a fixture that has often produced tight contests, though France have enjoyed more success in recent years and enter as defending champions looking to assert early control of the table. The Welsh side will be aiming to arrest a difficult run in Championship play and find momentum from passionate home support.
England v Ireland (Rugby Union - Six Nations)
Coverage of Round 3 of the Six Nations from Twickenham Stadium. England host one of their fiercest rivals in a clash that could shape the title race, having last met Ireland in Dublin where defence was at a premium. Historically this fixture is tight — England won narrowly at home in 2025 — and Ireland will be looking to overturn Travelling Blues’ advantage with a breakthrough road win.
