Chelsea‘s Premier League fixture with Nottingham Forest will kick-off at the unusual time at 15:00 BST on Monday at Stamford Bridge.
The move to this rearranged kick-off time has been due to Forest’s involvement in the Europa League semi-finals, where they are facing Premier league rivals Aston Villa.
The meeting between the Blues and Forest had initially been scheduled to take place on Saturday, 2 May.
However, with Forest hosting Villa at the City Ground less than 48 hours earlier, the match required a new kick-off time.
Throughout this season, that has often been a 14:00 slot on the Sunday of the weekend. But with this weekend being a bank holiday, it gave the Premier League more flexibility than is usually permitted.
Instead, Chelsea‘s match with Forest will be one of two Premier League fixtures on Monday, with the Premier League making the most of a day in which many people are off work.
Also on Monday, Everton will face Manchester City in the traditional 20:00 BST slot.
