12.03.2023 - 13:53 manchestereveningnews.co.uk

The Women's Super League title fight between Manchester United and Chelsea is set to be shown without studio presenting or punditry due to the BBC Football strike.

A growing number of presenters and commentators have withdrawn from BBC Sport coverage in solidarity with Gary Lineker who is in a row with the broadcast company over impartiality.

Names such as Alex Scott, Kelly Somers, Glenn Murray and Jason Mohammed all boycotted Saturday’s coverage in support of Lineker.

The BBC has issued an apology for limited sport programming throughout the weekend, which includes the alteration of coverage of the women’s game as Chelsea host Manchester United in an epic top-two battle.
