Chelsea’s trip to Liverpool will now take place at 5.30pm on Saturday 19 October, with Sky Sports showing the game against Arne Slot’s side live.

However, that game could yet be pushed back a day to the Sunday and kick-off at 4.30pm, dependent on any Premier League clubs participating in the Champions League the following Tuesday.

Then, later in the month, we will host Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge on Sunday October 27. That game will kick-off at 2pm and again will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

Further details on both fixtures, including ticketing information, will be announced in due course on official Chelsea channels.
