Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur: Premier League Match Postponed
New Date Announced for Stamford Bridge Fixture
Fixture Rescheduled for Thursday, May 2
The Premier League fixture between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, originally scheduled for Friday, February 23, has been postponed to allow Chelsea to participate in the EFL Cup final. The match has now been rearranged for Thursday, May 2, at 7:30 pm.
The decision to postpone the fixture was made by the Premier League Board after Chelsea reached the EFL Cup final, which will be played on Sunday, February 26. Chelsea's participation in the final meant that they would have had to play three matches in the space of seven days, which would have been an unfair workload for the players.
The new date for the Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur match is still subject to change, but it is expected to be played at Stamford Bridge. The match will be televised live on Sky Sports.
This postponement is a blow to both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, who are both in need of points in the Premier League. Chelsea are currently 10th in the table, while Tottenham Hotspur are 14th. Both teams will be hoping to use the rearranged fixture to improve their league positions.
