Why Manchester United's Match of the Day highlights vs Wolves will not be on BBC One

Manchester United's Match of the Day highlights on Saturday evening against Wolves will not be shown on BBC One owing to the Eurovision song contest taking place.

United host Wolves at Old Trafford this afternoon aiming to consolidate their place in the top four after two successive losses in the Premier League. They were a point ahead of Liverpool but with a game in hand prior to kick-off.

Erik ten Hag's side will be aiming to secure their place back in the Champions League as soon as possible. After the match against Wolves, they will have three more matches to play in the Premier League this season and are fighting it out with Newcastle United to finish third, only behind the likes of Manchester City and Arsenal.

Normally, the UK's flagship TV top flight highlights show Match of the Day is shown on a Saturday evening on BBC One. Though the programme will, of course, still be broadcast, it will be switched to BBC Two.

That is because, with the Eurovision Song Contest airing on BBC One on Saturday night, host Gary Lineker and co will be shifting over to BBC Two. The Grand Final takes place in Liverpool.

Therefore fans will have to tune into BBC Two instead of BBC One on Saturday, when the show begins at 10pm. United can move level on points with third-placed Newcastle should they beat Wolves after the Magpies drew with Leeds United at Elland Road in Saturday's lunchtime kick-off.
