Liverpool v Manchester United was one of last season’s most memorable games – although United fans have been trying to forget it ever since – and the two meet again in the Premier League this weekend with, as ever, more than just points at stake. Their long-standing rivalry means both are always determined to get one over on their opponents, which means a wholehearted, never-say-die contest, live on Sky Sports this Sunday.

The two clubs’ women’s teams also meet on Sunday, live on BBC Two. Their rivalry isn’t quite as well established but since they’re both tucked in behind the leading group of the WSL, whoever claims the points will head into the league’s winter break in a great position. And there’s plenty more football across Virgin TV this week this week (Monday 11 to Sunday 17 December), including Champions League on TNT Sports, FA Cup replays on BBC Two and ITV4, and a weekend of Premier League action starting on Friday with Nottingham Forest v Spurs. The FIFA Club World Cup also kicks off live on TNT Sports, although Man City aren’t involved till next week.

Also this week you can watch European Champions Cup rugby on TNT Sports and ITV1, with plenty of international cricket too (hey, it’s always summer somewhere), basketball action from the NBA, American football, badminton, horse racing and more. And on Friday, it’s the start of one of our favourite sporting events of the year: the PDC World Darts Championship, live from Alexandra Palace on Sky Sports. Don’t miss any of the brilliant live action on Virgin TV.

If you want to know what’s coming up on the box sport-wise, read on below, and don’t forget to bookmark this page for your weekly sporting updates.
