Three events you do not want to miss

Arsenal v Tottenham Saturday, 1.30pm, BBC One

A north London derby is always a raucous affair, but this one is likely to be noisier than ever with a Women’s Super League record crowd expected at the Emirates Stadium. More than 40,000 tickets have been sold for the match, which will beat the previous record crowd for a WSL match of 38,262 – also a north London derby fixture, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, in 2019. Both clubs began their league campaigns with victory, Arsenal thrashing Brighton and Hove Albion 4-0 at a sold-out Meadow Park and Spurs beating Leicester City 2-1 at the King Power Stadium. Arsenal beat Spurs 3-0 at the Emirates last season.

England v India, third ODI Saturday, 11am, Sky Sports

England return to the “Home of Cricket” for the first time since they won the World Cup against the same opposition in 2017. This is the third of a three-match series against India as Lisa Keightley coaches the side for the last time after three years in the role.

England won the three-match Twenty20 series but, regardless of how the ODI series is poised, both sides will want to experience victory at the historic ground.

Rugby World Cup Oct 8-Nov 12, ITV and BT Sport

New Zealand will be looking to defend their title on home soil, but it is England who start as red-hot favourites to lift the trophy at Eden Park on Nov 12. The month-long tournament, the ninth edition, gets under way on Oct 8 with three matches, one of those seeing the Red Roses begin their tilt at the title against Fiji – Scotland and Wales face each other the next day. Can Sarah Hunter and Co go all the way and win the competition for a third time?
