Mark Chapman presents all the action from the Racecourse Ground in a match between Wrexham and Chelsea on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. It'll feature analysis from Wayne Rooney, Micah Richards and Ben Tozer, and reports from Sarah Mulkerrins.

Coverage begins at 5:30pm and concludes at 8pm, which will kick off the last of the quarter-finals in Gladiators season 3. The series typically airs on Saturday evenings at 5:45pm.

With over five events and the Eliminator, only the fastest and fittest will make it to the next stage of the competition and be in with a chance to claim the ultimate glory.

As teased by the BBC, Giant gets the rematch he's been waiting for, Apollo uses his head and hosts Bradley and Barney Walsh meet Legend's biggest fan.

As for Casualty, this will be the eighth episode in the Learning Curve boxset, and is already available to watch on BBC iPlayer, thanks to its early release on the streaming platform.

But for those waiting patiently until 9pm tonight, plenty takes place in the busy hospital... Jan (Di Botcher) answers a call to blood-chilling screams for help for her baby while Iain (Michael Stevenson) struggles to contain his emotions as he rushes to her caller's aid to find the child has been crushed.

The synopsis continues: "Siobhan (Melanie Hill) is told that charges against Chris Banfield (Cai Brigden) will be dropped, Matty (Aron Julius) is reluctant to treat a patient with lung cancer alone, and Rida (Sarah Seggari) faces losing two staff members."
