Chelsea vs Aston Villa will move to Saturday 19 December at 8pm depending on Carabao Cup participation.

Why have some matches moved to Sunday?

European commitments also affect the schedule. Arsenal–Bournemouth and Brighton–Everton move to Sunday 13 December because Bournemouth and Brighton play UEFA fixtures on the preceding Thursday.

Brighton’s match against Ipswich on Sunday 20 December is similarly affected by European participation. Everton–Fulham moves to Sunday 6 December following Fulham’s Thursday visit to Tottenham.
