The Chelsea and Arsenal FA Women's Super League matches scheduled to take place on Sunday were postponed after heavy snowfall left the pitches unplayable, the clubs said.

League leaders Chelsea were due to play at bottom side Bristol City while Arsenal were set to host West Ham United.

"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," Chelsea said in a statement.

Arsenal said a pitch inspection and "extreme weather warnings" prompted authorities to postpone their match.

Manchester United host Birmingham City and Manchester City are away at Brighton & Hove Albion later on Sunday when Tottenham Hotspur also face Everton.
