The match kicks off at 17:00 on Saturday 10 August, and will be live on Yle Areena. There will also be a delayed broadcast on Yle Fem from 19:40.

“It’s great that the teams come to play in Helsinki, and of course it’s also wonderful that Yle can show the game on a free-to-air channel,” said Yle Sport’s head of events Robert Portman.

Tickets for the Helsinki match, which will be the first time two Premier League teams have met in Finland, will start at 29 euros.

Both clubs will compete in the 2013-14 Champions League, which will also be shown live on Yle channels.
