We’ll have live commentary of Premier League leaders Manchester City against Brighton & Hove Albion. Lee James will be joined by former Premier League and England winger Matt Jarvis and former Tottenham, Fulham and Republic of Ireland defender Stephen Kelly to preview that and the rest of the Premier League action. We’ll also discuss Harry Kane's Ballon d'Or win and look ahead Der Klassiker between his Bayern Munich side and their Bundesliga title challengers Borussia Dortmund. Away from football, we’ll be in Senegal for the Youth Olympic Games, which is being hosted on African soil for the first time. There’s the final pool games of the Rugby League World Cup for the men and the women, the final matches of rugby union's WXV, and qualifying for the Mexico Formula One Grand Prix, where Kimi Antonelli looks set to be crowned World Champion.
