West Ham United boss David Moyes hopes that the Premier League will not make a regular occurrence of late rescheduling of matches after moving the Hammers’ meeting with Chelsea this weekend with just a week’s notice.
The Hammers had been due to face Chelsea on Sunday afternoon at 2pm at Stamford Bridge. However, the date of the game was bought forward to Saturday, September 3 last Saturday (August 27) with just a week’s notice, with the time of 3pm being announced on Monday afternoon.
The late change was due to Chelsea’s involvement in the group stages of the Champions League, with the Blues heading to Croatia to face Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday night, leaving West Ham having to play four games in all competitions in the space of nine days between August 25 and September 3.
