Chelsea take on Nottingham Forest in an unusually early Premier League kickoff on Monday.
It is a public holiday in the U.K. so most fans traveling to Stamford Bridge will have the day off from work and school to attend the afternoon fixture. While this is an option on the first Monday of every May, the Premier League have only taken advantage of the calendar on eight previous occasions. Neither Chelsea nor Nottingham Forest can afford to be caught off guard by this irregular scheduling.
