Manchester City fans face an 'unfortunate' choice between the men's and women's teams on Sunday — all because of a potential Europa League final appearance that hasn't even materialised.
City Women have their biggest game of the season against Chelsea at Wembley on Sunday in the FA Cup final, looking to complete a cup double after a testing season. That final kicks off at 2.30pm, half an hour after Pep Guardiola's men's side get under way across London at West Ham in the Premier League — a game that could move them on the brink of another title.
With the West Ham game originally scheduled for a 4.30pm kick off, at least allowing for fans to watch one game on TV if they attended the other, it was moved at the last minute to a 2pm slot instead, directly clashing with the cup final. City Women boss Gareth Taylor says the switch came about as West Ham were banking on an appearance in the Europa League final on Wednesday.
