Related Topics: Premier League

Chelsea's final Premier League home game of the season against Manchester United has been moved to ensure there is no clash with the Women's FA Cup final between the two teams on Sunday, 18 May.

Instead, the Premier League game will be played on Friday, 16 May, with a 20:00 BST kick-off. It will be screened on Sky Sports.

The entire round of matches was scheduled for 18 May as the Premier League had already pledged it would not hold any games on men's FA Cup final day on 17 May.

However, Chelsea's meeting with United in the women's equivalent the following day also created an issue.
