Major Premier League broadcasting change THIS WEEK with huge clashes including Man Utd vs Chelsea affected
MANCHESTER UNITED vs Chelsea is one of several Premier League matches affected by a major broadcasting change.
There are several huge clashes this week including the Blues’ trip to Old Trafford on Wednesday.
All 10 fixtures will be broadcast live by Amazon Prime Video as part of their agreement to show 20 matches per season.
As a result, matches will kick-off at unusual times compared to regular scheduling.
Midweek Premier League fixtures are usually played at 7.45pm and 8pm.
However, this week’s matches will kick off at either 7.30pm or 8.15pm, causing games to overlap and clash with each other.
Four matches will start at 8.15pm between Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
They include United vs Chelsea, which kicks off at the same time as Manchester City’s trip to Aston Villa on the same night.
Amazon Prime Video will also broadcast 10 more matches over the festive period.
All matches from round 19 of the season will be shown live between Boxing Day and December 28.

Amazon will also debut a new programme – Every Game Every Goal – hosted by fan favourite Stelling.
Supporters can watch matches on Amazon Prime Video with a valid subscription.
