The winter feast for Australian football fans continues with English Premier League champions-in-waiting Chelsea FC set to play a friendly match against Sydney FC at ANZ Stadium in June.

The Sky Blues are set for a historic match against one of the world's biggest football clubs in what could also be a rare contest between the likely champions of the EPL and the potential champions of the A-League on June 2 at the 83,000 capacity venue.

Chelsea have a commanding lead in the EPL and are favourites to win a fifth title while Sydney FC remain in the hunt for a third A-League title, sitting in second place on the ladder and already assured of a home final.

Key stakeholders are in advanced negotiations to sign a guest match deal with Chelsea in what will be the first time the English giants have toured Australia in 50 years. It's understood that a deal has been agreed to in principle and could be confirmed as early as next week.
