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.
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.
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.
Having collected four points from their first three Premier League games, Enzo Maresca's side will aim to get back to winning ways against Andoni Iraola's team this weekend.
