Man Utd to face Chelsea on April 28

Manchester United's Premier League clash against Chelsea has been preponed to April 28 following the Blues' progress to the FA Cup final.

The west London giants qualified for the FA Cup final following a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium earlier today.

As a result, they will face Liverpool for the famous old trophy on May 15, the same date when they were scheduled to face United.

It has now been officially confirmed that the league game has been pushed forward to April 28. This presents a nightmarish situation.

The Red Devils have a difficult away trip to Liverpool on April 19. Four days later, they are scheduled to face Arsenal on the road.

This will be followed by the Blues' visit to Old Trafford. Hence, the Mancunian giants are set to face three top sides in 10 days.

It is a far from ideal situation for the Red Devils, but they must find ways of winning each of those games to strengthen their top four bid.
