Potential change to Chelsea Premier League fixture

Gabriel in action against Chelsea

With our Premier League fixture against Chelsea currently set for the same day as the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, March 16, the following guidance has been provided to our supporters.

Should we book a spot at the final at Wembley following our second leg against Newcastle United next Wednesday, then our league game against the Blues at Emirates Stadium will be rescheduled to Tuesday, February 18, with a 7.30pm kick-off. The game will be shown live in the UK on Sky Sports.

If we cannot overhaul the Magpies' 2-0 first-leg league at St James' Park next week, then the Chelsea match will remain on Sunday, March 16, with the kick-off time still to be confirmed.

We can also confirm that as we have progressed directly to the last-16 of the Champions League, the kick-off time for our fixture at Leicester City on February 15 will remain as 12.30pm.
