From the official Chelsea FC website:
The dates and kick-off times of three Blues’ Premier League fixtures in August and September have changed after the fixtures were selected for live TV broadcast.
The Blues have had matches against Brighton, Arsenal and Brentford all moved for television.
Our first Premier League contest of the new season at Stamford Bridge, which comes against the Seagulls, has been moved back a day to Sunday, 30 August to be show on Sky Sports. That game will kick-off at 2pm.
Meanwhile, our trip to the Emirates to face the Gunners has also been pushed back a day from Saturday to Sunday, 6 September at 4.30pm. Sky Sports will also broadcast that fixture.
Finally, our all-west London tussle with Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium has been brought forward a day earlier to Friday evening. It will now be played on 18 September at 8pm and will be shown live on Sky Sports. However, that game may revert to the Saturday at 8pm due to any potential Carabao Cup involvement.
