Our live coverage this weekend starts at the top of the Premier League with minute-by-minute coverage of Manchester City v Everton (12.30pm, all times GMT). Attention turns to the Six Nations for an intriguing clash between Scotland and France (2.15pm). Then we've got live coverage of the Asian Cup final between Jordan and hosts Qatar (3pm) while also bringing you updates from the 3pm kick-offs in our football clockwatch. It's back to the Six Nations at 4.45pm for the big England v Wales set-to, then the focus switches to two other European football title races: we'll have coverage of the crucial Bundesliga match between Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich (5.30pm), along with the big La Liga match between Real Madrid and Girona (5.30pm). 

Sunday's action starts in the Women's FA Cup and the blockbuster fifth-round tie between Arsenal and Manchester City (12.30pm). Then at 2pm Arsenal's men are in action at West Ham in the Premier League, before we hop over to Dublin as the defending Six Nations champions, Ireland, host Italy (3pm). We're back in the Premier League at 4.30pm for Aston Villa v Manchester United. And the weekend's live coverage ends with a showpiece, the Africa Cup of Nations final, kicking off at 8pm, as Ivory Coast take on Nigeria.

… there is a good reason why not to support the Guardian

Not everyone can afford to pay for news right now. That is why we keep our journalism open for everyone to read. If this is you, please continue to read for free.

But if you are able to, then there are three good reasons to support us today.

1

Our quality, investigative journalism is a powerful force for scrutiny at a time when the rich and powerful are getting away with more and more

2

We are independent and have no billionaire owner telling us what to report, so your money directly powers our reporting

3

It doesn’t cost much, and takes less time than it took to read this message

Help power the Guardian’s journalism in this crucial year of news, whether with a small sum or a larger one. If you can, please support us on a monthly basis from just £2. It takes less than a minute to set up, and you can rest assured that you're making a big impact every single month in support of open, independent journalism. Thank you.
