Chelsea's fixtures for December established

The Premier League has finally declared its fixture schedule for the hectic Christmas period. This made several Chelsea matches to move around. The first match is the game against Leeds United on December 5.  This has been shifted to an 8 pm start from 3 pm. That gives Frank Lampard an indispensable amount of time to prepare his side. This is important for them after their midweek trip to Sevilla in the Champions League. And that too, only three days back.

The Blues’ trip to Everton will be shown live on Sky Sports on December 12. And that is now an 8 pm commencement as well. The encounter with Wolves on December 15 at Molineux has been changed to a 6 pm kick-off.
