The Women’s Super League matches involving Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham scheduled to take place on Sunday have been postponed after heavy snowfall left the pitches unplayable.
The league leaders Chelsea were due visit the bottom side Bristol City at Twerton Park in Bath, while Arsenal were scheduled to host West Ham United at Meadow Park. Spurs were to host Everton at The Hive in north London.
“Our away match versus Bristol City, which was set to kick off at 2.00 pm today, has been postponed due to a heavy downpour of snow overnight resulting in an unplayable pitch,” a Chelsea statement said.
Arsenal said a pitch inspection and “extreme weather warnings” prompted authorities to postpone their match.
Manchester United’s meeting with Birmingham City goes ahead, with Manchester City’s trip to Brighton & Hove Albion also surviving the snowfall.
Chelsea are top on 26 points from 10 games ahead of Manchester United, who have played a game more and trail on goal difference. Arsenal are third on 23 points from 11 matches.
