FINAL FIXTURES MOVED

The Premier League has announced two more Chelsea games will be moved for live television coverage.

Our trip to Manchester United will now take place on Sunday, May 8 with a 4.10pm kick-off, taking place a day later than originally scheduled.

Then, the penultimate league game of the campaign, at home to Newcastle United, will now be on Sunday, May 15 with a 1.30pm kick-off.

Both games will be screened live on Sky Sports.

I bet we will play after Utd and Arsenal on the sunday against Newcastle, more pressure on us, great.

The United one should've been expected tbh

Thought the United game would be on at 12:45 on a Saturday tbh.

Unless one of them are playing on a Monday, yes. United had to play at 4 after we played Liverpool, with a far tougher game, So we can't complain.

I love when we play on Sunday since I usually have a training around 4pm on Saturday so I miss some of our games ( which I always watch later ).

If we're on at 1.30pm on the Sunday, expect Arsenal-United to be on at four. More pressure on them.

There is absolutely no pressure on Chelsea in the Premier League. We won't finish lower than third (City are on the decline with Tevez out of form and short on fitness, and Tottenham are suffering post-European hangovers), and we aren't expected to win the title. Thus, we can take it game by game and finish second,

Newcastle fixture was moved to accomodate for the FA Cup Final

Seems someone cocked up at the FA when deciding the Final date.

Its because no other English game should be on at the same time as the Cup final. Every game was moved.

Yeah, hence their cock up for not anticipating that

[middleoftheshed 388]

Its because of the CL final being at Wembley this year and theres some sort of UEFA rule which means you can't use the pitch for a certain amount of time before the game.

I suppose they could have held it on the first weekend of June, unless theres internationals that week?
