F1 Singapore Grand Prix LIVE: Qualifying updates and FP3 lap times at Marina Bay
Max Verstappen is chasing another victory - what would be his 11th in a row - as Formula 1 returns to Asia for the popular Singapore Grand Prix at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. Verstappen broke the record for the most consecutive race wins last time out at Monza, overtaking Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz to win his 10th race in a row. The Dutchman is cruising to a third-straight F1 world championship and currently has a 145-point lead in the standings to team-mate Sergio Perez, though cannot clinch the title in Singapore. Zhou Guanyu interview: ‘There is a lot of pressure in F1 – only winners stay in this sport’ It was an improved performance from Ferrari in Italy, with Sainz securing his first podium of the year and Charles Leclerc finishing fourth, while the Mercedes duo of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell followed up their new contracts with sixth and fifth place respectively. Williams’ Alex Albon was a standout once again, finishing seventh. Perez won last year’s wet race under the lights in Singapore - a venue where Verstappen is yet to triumph in his career. Lewis Hamilton is a four-time winner in Marina Bay.

Is Wolves vs Liverpool on TV today? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture
Liverpool will move to the top of the Premier League if they defeat Wolves at Molineux in the first top-flight match following the international break. Jurgen Klopp’s Reds are currently sat in third place, two points behind champions Manchester City, but as they are playing in today’s early kick off they have the chance to add a bit of pressure on Pep Guardiola’s men ahead of their clash with high-flying West Ham later in the afternoon. Liverpool’s start to the season was sketchy but they seem to be finding their rhythm as new midfield signings Alexis MacAllister and Dominik Szoboszlai settle into the team. Victories over Newcastle and Aston Villa have given them some momentum and they will hope to continue their winning streak against their hosts today. For their part, Wolves are looking to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to Crystal Palace. They’ve featured in some close contests already this year and will be confident of attacking Liverpool’s high defensive line. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the game; get all the latest football betting sites offers here. When is Wolves vs Liverpool? The match kicks off at 12:30pm BST at Molineux.

Liverpool have doubts over Trent Alexander-Arnold after he went off injured before the international break, while Virgil van Dijk has an extra game suspension to get through before he returns to the fold. Jurgen Klopp’s decisions will centre around which South Americans are too fatigued to start after long journeys back for Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, Alisson and Alexis Mac Allister. Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo were both on the scoresheet for their national teams and will hope to return after being subs against Aston Villa last time out. Predicted line-ups Wolves XI: Sa, Semedo, Kilman, Dawson, Ait Nouri, Sarabia, Lemina, Nunes, Hwang, Neto, Cunha Liverpool XI: Alisson, Gomez, Konate, Matip, Robertson, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Jones, Salah, Gakpo, Nunez Odds Wolves 6/1 Draw 4/1 Liverpool 5/12 Get the latest Premier League odds here.
