Match previews, post-match tactics, fight-night picks and the occasional rant about VAR. Written by a small team of British sports fans who watch the games anyway.

The North London derby is back to mattering — here is why myp2p will be glued to it

It has been a few seasons since Arsenal vs Tottenham truly mattered to the Premier League title race. Both clubs spent recent springs eyeing the European places rather than the trophy itself, and the derby's stakes — while always emotionally raw — drifted somewhere closer to bragging rights than silverware. This Saturday changes that. With Arsenal three points off top and Spurs riding the longest unbeaten run of the Postecoglou-successor era, we have a derby that swings the table.

Tactically, it should be fascinating. Arsenal's set-piece coaching has turned dead-balls into a near-guaranteed chance creator, and Spurs' high defensive line invites exactly the sort of run that Saka and Trossard make for fun. The myp2p editorial side is split: half of us think it ends 2-1 to the home side, the other half are betting on a chaotic 3-3. Either way, settle in early — the build-up alone, on every UK channel by 4pm, is part of the fun.

Read our full preview, then jump straight to the live tile for kick-off at 17:30 UK.

NFL Sunday from the UK: the four games myp2p is genuinely staying up for

Sunday is the British NFL fan's marathon. The 18:00 UK kick-offs roll into the late doubleheaders and then Sunday Night Football peels into Monday morning. Most weeks, you have to make choices. This week, the slate is so good that staying up for the full programme is genuinely justifiable — and our team has talked itself into doing exactly that.

The pick of the early window is Ravens at Bengals: an AFC North divisional grudge with two MVP-level quarterbacks on opposite sides. The late window belongs to Chiefs at 49ers — a Super Bowl rematch with seeding implications, and the sort of fixture that flips an evening into an event. We are also high on Cowboys-Eagles even though it is Thursday, and we will check in with the London Game on Sunday morning to keep the British contingent happy.

The myp2p schedule converts every kick-off into UK time and the NFL hub is updated by hand throughout the day.

Alcaraz vs Sinner is the rivalry tennis needed — Madrid sets it up perfectly

Once or twice a generation, the men's tour finds two players whose styles are so clearly different and whose meetings are so consistently great that they elevate the whole sport. The Federer-Nadal era was one. The Djokovic-Murray years were another. Right now, we are watching the early scenes of the next one: Carlos Alcaraz against Jannik Sinner, two players who already feel like this decade's defining pair.

Madrid's high altitude and slow clay add another wrinkle this week. Sinner's flat groundstrokes plough through the thin air; Alcaraz's heavy topspin grips the surface. Whoever adapts first usually wins, and at this level "adapt first" is often a single point in a third-set tiebreak. We have the live tile pinned and the kettle on. myp2p tennis hub has the order of play.

Saturday night fight talk: the British heavyweight scene has its loudest weekend in years

It does not happen often. A heavyweight world title night at a Premier League stadium, a domestic title scrap in Manchester, and a packed UFC card from Las Vegas, all on the same Saturday. British boxing has been waiting a decade for a weekend this dense, and myp2p is treating it like a proper event — pre-fight notes, ring-walk countdowns, undercard analysis and a sober honest read on which feeds will and will not behave when the lights go out.

The undercard at the headline show is genuinely strong. There is a long-overdue super-middleweight unification eliminator on it, plus a women's lightweight title fight that has quietly become the most technically interesting bout on these shores. Read our full card-by-card breakdown on the MMA & boxing page and check the live tile from 19:00 UK.

Why the myp2p blog exists

Most sports content online is either chasing clicks or chasing controversy. The myp2p blog tries to do neither. We write previews you can actually use to plan a watch, post-match notes that explain what you just saw, and the occasional opinion piece when one of the editors has a strong feeling about a refereeing decision. Pieces are short enough for a coffee break and long enough to be worth reading. New entries land most days during football, NFL, NBA and tennis seasons, and around every major fight night.
