Pick of the week: Football – Manchester City v Arsenal

Sunday 22 September, 4pm, Sky Sports Premier League/HD (CH 512/502)

When four-in-a-row champions Man City are the only team left with a 100% record after four games, it’s tempting to think the Premier League title race is already as good as over. But that’s madness, we say! After displaying grit and nous on the way to three important points at local rivals Spurs last week, Arsenal are gearing up for another serious tilt at the trophy – and if they can snatch a win at the Etihad on Sunday, suddenly City’s hold on the big shiny cup will seem a little more vulnerable.

Admittedly the Gunners have a fairly wretched away record against City, without a win since January 2015. But last season’s goalless draw showed that coach Mikel Arteta has banished the soft underbelly that used to be Arsenal’s undoing. They’re ready to scrap for the points. And surely the stage is set for former City forward Raheem Sterling to do something spectacular – it’s always the way, right? First of all, though, Arsenal have to stop Erling Haaland scoring yet another hat-trick.

Pick of the week: The Big Sleep

Saturday 21 September, 1.10pm, BBC Two HD (CH 102)

They say that they don’t make them like they used to. And Golden Age cinema stars Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall are immortal proof of that sentiment, with this week marking what would have been Bacall’s 100th birthday. The Big Sleep sees Bogie and Bacall give a swoon-worthy performance as famed detective Philip Marlowe and femme fatale Vivian Rutledge, who meet by chance when Marlowe is summoned to the Sternwood mansion for his latest case. What follows is a twisty tale of blackmail, murder and love. Classic viewing.
