Wolves v Sheffield United Premier League game moved to avoid clash with Duke of Edinburgh's funeral

The Premier League have announced that the match between Wolves and Sheffield United at Molineux has been moved from 3pm on Saturday to 8.15pm (11.15pm UAE) to avoid clashing with the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral.

Games being played under Football Association auspices will not kick-off between 2.45pm and 4.15pm, when the funeral service takes place at Windsor Castle.

The FA Cup semi-final between Chelsea and Manchester City, though, will not be moved from its 5.30pm kick-off slot on Saturday, according to the PA news agency.

EFL matches are also being moved away from the 3pm slot, with a number of clubs having already confirmed their matches will kick off at 12.30pm instead. It is understood the new time slot was also chosen to avoid a clash with the FA Cup semi-final.

The day's other Premier League game, Newcastle United v West Ham at St James' Park, will still kick-off at 12.30pm.

At the weekend, players across the Premier League and EFL wore black armbands and held a minute’s silence prior to kick-off as a mark of respect.

Three ways to boost your credit score

Marwan Lutfi says the core fundamentals that drive better payment behaviour and can improve your credit score are:

1. Make sure you make your payments on time;

2. Limit the number of products you borrow on: the more loans and credit cards you have, the more it will affect your credit score;

3. Don't max out all your debts: how much you maximise those credit facilities will have an impact. If you have five credit cards and utilise 90 per cent of that credit, it will negatively affect your score.
