It had previously been announced the London derby had been pushed back a day to Sunday 1 September due to our participation in the UEFA Conference League play-off round the preceding Thursday.

We can now confirm we will take on the Eagles at Stamford Bridge at 1.30pm UK time. The match will not be broadcast live on Sky Sports or TNT Sports.
