Coming up this weekend
Saturday's action is off a gentle start with our county cricket liveblog, which gets rolling at 11am (all times BST). Women's Champions League semi-finals, you say? At the maverick time of 12.30pm? We have minute-by-minute coverage of Barcelona v Chelsea, a mouth-watering first leg. Next up is the Women's Six Nations with England v Ireland (2.15pm), before our Premier League and Football League clockwatch wraps up the 3pm kick-offs. Manchester City face Chelsea in the first of the weekend's FA Cup semi-finals at 5.15pm, while Lyon play PSG in an all-French Women's Champions League semi (6pm). In the last of Saturday's live action, Arsenal will hope to get their title bid back on track at Wolves, with kick-off at 7.30pm.

Sunday's action starts with Devin Haney v Ryan Garcia, as the former defends his WBC super-lightweight title in New York. That will begin at around 1am, before we head to Shanghai for the Chinese Grand Prix – lights out are at 8am. The elite men's and women's races of the London Marathon start at 8.30am, before we return to the more serene surrounds of the County Championship at 11am. Sunday's football gets under way at midday with Manchester v Tottenham in the WSL, while Everton v Nottingham Forest (1.30pm) is a huge game at the bottom of the Premier League. Back in the WSL, it's Arsenal v Leicester at 2pm, before Coventry v Manchester United (3.30pm) in the second FA Cup semi at Wembley. Liverpool travel to Fulham for a 4.30pm kick-off in the final Premier League match of the weekend and we have updates from the final round of the Chevron Championship golf with Scott Murray from 5pm. The last live action is the clásico, with Real Madrid v Barcelona kicking off at 8pm after their Champions League exploits in midweek.

… 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 . 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.
