Match of the Day MOVED from BBC One and gets new start time thanks to Eurovision

This Saturday's edition of Match of the Day has been booted from BBC One's schedule to make way for the Eurovision Song Contest.

This year's Eurovision final will take place in Liverpool on Saturday - the first time the song competition has been held in the United Kingdom since 1998. That has forced the BBC to move Match of the Day to BBC Two, with coverage starting at the earlier time of 10pm.

Six Premier League games will be played on Saturday, starting with Newcastle's trip to Leeds in the earlier kick-off. Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham will also feature on this weekend's edition of Match of the Day, due to be hosted by Gary Lineker.
