Chelsea FC have had two of their Premier League away fixtures in November rescheduled for live television coverage. The club's trip to Sunderland has been moved to Sunday 8 November for a 2pm kick-off at the Stadium of Light.
That match was pushed back one day from its original Saturday slot because Sunderland are involved in Europa League action on the preceding Thursday. Chelsea's away game at Nottingham Forest will now take place on Friday 27 November with an 8pm start at the City Ground, brought forward from its previous date.
Both fixtures will be broadcast live by Sky Sports. The club's home match against Leeds United on Saturday 21 November remains unchanged with a 3pm kick-off.
These changes come as Chelsea look to build momentum from their current 10th place position in the Premier League, having taken seven points from their opening five matches. The team's recent form shows two wins, one draw and two losses from their last five outings.
Supporters planning to travel to the rescheduled away games can now finalise their arrangements. The club also confirmed that official Chelsea merchandise packages for November are available for purchase.
