Confusion as Sky pick Villa - Chelsea for FA Cup Final Day

Rupert Murdoch

The date of our vital home clash with Chelsea is up in the air after it was selected for TV coverage by Sky Sports.

The game was due to kick off on Sunday 12th May but has now been shunted back a day for TV purposes.  However it's new current scheduled time is at an annoying 12:45pm on Saturday 11th May, the day of The FA Cup Final.

However Chelsea are still competing in the tournament and if they beat Man City on Sunday's semi final, our game will be moved again with Tuesday 14th May a possible date. To complicate matters, if Chelsea make the Europa League final which is played on the 15th, our game will need to be squeezed into an earlier slot in the calendar.

Clear as mud then.
