Later today, Chelsea is playing against West Ham in the Premier League. This is their second match against a London team this week. They won against Tottenham on Thursday, and now they’re focusing on West Ham. West Ham beat Chelsea 3-1 back in August.
But here’s the bummer for fans in the UK: they can’t watch the game live on TV. Why? Well, originally, the game was supposed to kick off at 3 pm on a Saturday. But there’s this rule in English football that stops TV channels from showing games at that time. So, since the game got postponed, it can’t be shown live on TV in the UK.
But don’t worry too much! You can catch the highlights for free. Match of the Day 2 will show them at 10:30 pm BST on BBC One on Sunday.
