Take in the sights of London

The eyes of the sporting world are firmly focused on London this weekend. There are two Premiership derbies to enjoy, plus top-class international rugby union from the sport's headquarters at Twickenham.

The first of Sunday's football matches is sure to pull in the crowds. West Ham's game against Arsenal is another crucial match for the east London side.

The Hammers' recent poor form had seen the side slip into the relegation zone. They were also dumped out of the Carling Cup by League One side Chesterfield last week.

A positive result against Blackburn means the Upton Park boys climb out of the bottom three, and Alan Pardew's job as Hammers manager is safe for now, but for how long?

Once the dust has settled at Upton Park, it's over to White Hart Lane as two more of London's sides go head to head. Spurs are the hosts for the match against Chelsea.

England's Joe Cole should continue his return from injury for the Blues, while Spurs have something to prove.

The team, managed by Dutchman Martin Jol, have never beaten Chelsea in the Premiership. He may use that stat to drive his team on.

Coverage starts at 1.00pm on SS1, with kick-offs at 1.30pm and 4.00pm.

Also on Sunday, down in the south-west corner of London, Twickenham is the venue for the Test between England and New Zealand.

The match marks the official opening of the stadium's South Stand. The increased capacity at the ground should ensure one hell of an atmosphere at the sell-out match.

England will welcome the extra support from the rugby faithful as they face the sport's top-rated nation. The match is on BBC1 from 3.00pm.

Wales also face opposition from the southern hemisphere when they play Australia on Saturday. Coverage starts at 2.10pm on BBC1 for a 2.30pm kick-off.
