    Chelsea are all set to travel to the Vitality Stadium on Saturday where they will lock horns against Bournemouth in a late kick-off. The match was initially slated to be held in the 3pm BST kick-off slot, however, it has now been delayed by five hours and will start at 8pm BST.

    THE EXPLANATION

    Traditionally In the Premier League, most matches get a 3pm kick-off, although some of them are shifted to a different slot to be broadcast on television. In the UK, Premier League matches are not allowed to be broadcast between 2:45pm and 5:15pm. According to the Daily Mail, since Sky Sports wanted to telecast the Blues' clash live, the match was shifted to 8pm. Another available time slot was 5:30pm, however, Sky Sports had already planned to broadcast the Aston Villa vs Everton clash at that time.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Manchester United loanee Jadon Sancho, who completed a temporary move to Stamford Bridge on deadline day, could make his Blues debut on Saturday night against the Cherries.
