The Premier League, Australian Open, and NFL title games kicked off their respective weekends. For football fans, Saturday's lunchtime game saw West Ham host Sunderland at the London Stadium, with Régis Le Bris's side looking to win consecutive league games for just the second time this season. In contrast, Liverpool head south to Bournemouth in the 5:30pm clash, which promises to be an intriguing match.
Meanwhile, on the tennis court, Day Seven of the Australian Open began with some big names in action. Jannick Sinner and Novak Djokovic are among those competing, while Stan Wawrinka, a former champion, is enjoying a last hurrah at the grand slam tournament.
The women's draw features Iga Swiatek and Naomi Osaka, who will be vying for spots against each other in the next round. The men's draw includes Carlos Alcaraz, who continued his smooth progress with victory over Corentin Moutet, taking on the world No 19 Tommy Paul.
For American football fans, Sunday brings the AFC championship game between the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots. Jarrett Stidham will take his place as quarterback for only his fifth career start at the Broncos, having previously played for Tom Brady's Patriots.
The match of the day is expected to be Arsenal v Manchester United, with Mikel Arteta wary of United's new-manager bounce under Michael Carrick. The Gunners have not conceded a single shot on target in their past two league matches, but United would dearly love to see Arsenal choke again.
On Sunday, Brentford face Nottingham Forest in the Championship, while Crystal Palace welcome Chelsea to Selhurst Park after a rocky spell that featured a disgruntled Oliver Glasner confirming he would leave Palace at the end of the season. The Rams (14-5) have won two straight playoff games on the road to reach the conference title game.
In women's football, Aston Villa host Manchester United in the Women's Super League clockwatch, with the hosts seeking revenge after losing their Women's League Cup semi-final against Chelsea in midweek.

! I'm kinda hoping for some upsets, you know? Like if West Ham can pull off a win over Liverpool, or Arsenal shocks Man U. It's been a bit of a dull season so far and I need some excitement 
. Also, Stan Wawrinka is back in the Aussie Open?! That's so cool 
. Not sure what to make of the women's tennis draw yet, but Iga Swiatek vs Naomi Osaka could be interesting 
. And can we talk about how Jarrett Stidham is taking on Tom Brady's team? Like, he used to play for them?! So weird 
. Anyway, gonna tune in to the AFC championship game and see if the Broncos can pull off a win 
.
they've been playing some solid footy and I think Régis Le Bris has them going for it 
Novak Djokovic's looking fierce on the tennis courts too 
And can't wait to see Arsenal take on United, Mikel Arteta needs to get a win for the Gunners 
and Chelsea vs Palace should be juicy 
anyone got a bet going? 
meanwhile, i'm loving how west ham are trying to pull off back-to-back league wins 
. They're playing Manchester United and you can bet your bottom dollar they'll be all smiles and praise if things don't go their way... meanwhile, the rest of us will be face-palming so hard 
. It's like they think it's a done deal just because they've not conceded a single shot on target in two league matches 
.
also wondering if Arteta's tactics have changed at all under the new manager or was Carrick even making a difference before he took over? 
. I'm curious to see how Chelsea will bounce back from all those losses at Selhurst Park - do they've got what it takes to get back on track? 
! I mean, who needs Netflix when you've got Premier League, Australian Open, and NFL games to keep you entertained? And don't even get me started on the Arsenal v Manchester United match – it's like a real-life episode of "Game of Thrones" with all those egos involved 
oh man i just love days like this where multiple sports leagues are kickin off at the same time its like a never endin schedule of epic matches for all u footy fans 
i mean who doesnt wanna see liverpool go up against bournemouth 
️ or west ham face Sunderland at the london stadium ? and on the tennis front day 7 of the aussie open is lookin pretty stacked with top players like djokovic & wawrinka 
meanwhile american football fans are gettin hyped for sunday's afc championship game between denver broncos & new england patriots 
.
. Like that Liverpool vs Bournemouth match, sounds like it's gonna be a real nail-biter 
. Like Jannick Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, they're just so talented and exciting to watch 
.
. Bring it on! 
. On the other hand, West Ham vs Sunderland could be a real nail-biter 
. Their midfield battle is always intense
