Chelsea are back in Premier League action on Saturday night when they visit neighbours Brentford.
The Blues enter the game as one of two teams who are still unbeaten in the top-flight so far this season. Despite drawing with Crystal Palace, on the opening weekend, Enzo Maresca's squad followed that up with two victories against other London rivals in West Ham United and Fulham.
Maresca's men will remain in the capital tonight, too, when they head to Brentford. The Bees encountered lots of change this summer with Thomas Frank, Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa among key figures who left.
What time is kick-off?
Brentford vs Chelsea will kick-off at 8pm (UK time) on Saturday, September 13.
Why is the game kicking off at 8pm?
A night kick-off on a Saturday is an unusual start time for Premier League matches as - usually - games are only played at 12.30pm, 3pm and 5.30pm that day. However, this game was selected by Sky Sports and was due to be played on Sunday afternoon, initially.
This plan went out the window, though, when Brentford beat AFC Bournemouth to advance to the third round of the Carabao Cup. Their home clash with Aston Villa is scheduled for Tuesday, September 16, so playing this Sunday was out of the question.
Therefore, the only option was to have the game played in the back-up broadcasting spot of 8pm.
How can I watch the game in the UK?
As mentioned, the game has been selected by Sky Sports for their live coverage. The match will be shown on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League.
The fixture can also be streamed on the Sky Sports App or via Now TV's sports pass.
What if I'm not in the UK?
The game will also be available to watch across the globe thanks to the Premier League's broadcast deals. In the United States, for example, NBC Sports will show the game - while DAZN, fuboTV and Amazon Prime Video have rights in Canada.
In Africa, most countries will be showing the fixture on SuperSport Premier League including the Ivory Coast, Cameroon and Nigeria. Over in Europe, Canal+ Foot shall be broadcasting the game in France, while Sky Sport Premier League will be showing the fixture in Germany.
