"Chelsea's Premier League fixture with Nottingham Forest will kick-off at the unusual time at 15:00 BST on Monday at Stamford Bridge. The move to this rearranged kick-off time has been due to Forest's involvement in the Europa League semi-finals, where they are facing Premier league rivals Aston Villa."
"The meeting between the Blues and Forest had initially been scheduled to take place on Saturday, 2 May. However, with Forest hosting Villa at the City Ground less than 48 hours earlier, the match required a new kick-off time."
"Instead, Chelsea's match with Forest will be one of two Premier League fixtures on Monday, with the Premier League making the most of a day in which many people are off work."
Chelsea's Premier League match with Nottingham Forest will take place at 15:00 BST on Monday at Stamford Bridge. The rescheduling is due to Nottingham Forest's participation in the Europa League semi-finals against Aston Villa. Originally set for Saturday, 2 May, the match required a new time because Forest plays Villa less than 48 hours prior. The Premier League utilized the bank holiday weekend for flexibility, allowing Chelsea's match to be one of two fixtures on Monday, alongside Everton versus Manchester City at 20:00 BST.
