Chelsea’s Premier League clash away at Wolves will not be broadcast on live TV in the UK.
The match has not been selected for broadcast on Sunday despite the fixture kicking off at 2pm.
It is not being aired on live TV in the UK as the game was originally scheduled to take place on Saturday, August 24 at 3pm BST.
Even though the match is not now taking place at 3pm on a Saturday, it still cannot be broadcast live due to the 3pm blackout.
The Premier League clash was moved to Sunday due to Chelsea’s Europa Conference League play-off tie against Servette on Thursday night.
And due to the Blues playing on Thursday, they cannot be involved in a fixture on Saturday to allow appropriate rest for players.
Bournemouth vs Newcastle at 2pm will kick off Super Sunday live on Sky Sports this weekend, followed by Liverpool’s home clash against Brentford at 4.30pm.
What is the team news?
Wolves are still without the suspended Nelson Semedo after his red card on the 2023/24 final day.
Leon Chiwome and Enso Gonzalez also miss out through injury.
For Chelsea, new signing Joao Felix is expected to play some part after joining the Blues again in midweek. Wesley Fofana sat out the midweek game but is expected to return, while Cole Palmer’s leg injury towards the end of the game isn’t expected to keep him out here.
Pedro Neto is pushing for a start against his former club, with Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell amongst those axed from the first team and expected to play no part.
Welcome to Wolves vs Chelsea
Wolves and Chelsea meet in a Super Sunday clash with both sides determined to bounce back from 2-0 opening-day defeats.
But given those defeats were against Arsenal and Manchester City, respectively, it’s hardly a damaging start.
Wolves had their moments at the Emirates, too. Just a slight lack of quality in the final third holding them back from a very decent start.
Chelsea were the same in their home game with City. Again creating chances but lacking any sort of clinical edge.
They weren’t overly impressive in midweek, either. Although the 2-0 win over Servette looks a positive start to Europe, it wasn’t a vintage performance by any means.
Off the pitch, with big, senior players being told they’re surplus to requirements, Enzo Maresca has quite the job on his hands.
Stay tuned as coming up, we’ll have all the latest including team news and starting line-ups all before kick-off at 2pm.
