Thomas Tuchel's side will now take on Watford at Vicarage Road a day later than originally planned with the game kicking off at 7.30pm on December 2 and will be shown live on Amazon Prime.

Another away game has also been brought forward in kick off time but not on the scheduled day as the London derby with West Ham in Stratford is now a 12.30pm kick off on December 4 with the game shown live on BT Sport.

The home match against Everton on December 15 will now start at the earlier time of 7.45pm and be broadcast live on BT Sport.

On Boxing Day, the Blues head to Aston Villa and that will start at the later time of 5.30pm and Sky Sports will show the game live.

Chelsea then host Brighton at Stamford Bridge, with the date of the game moved back to December 29 with a 7.30pm kick off to be shown on Amazon Prime.
