After weeks of confusion and uncertainty, the Premier League have finally set an official date and kick-off time for Chelsea's home game against Manchester United later this month. The fixture was initially set to take place on Sunday, October 23, but has been brought forward by a day due to Chelsea's Champions League commitments.
The game will now kick-off at 5:30pm on Saturday, October 22, with United's away ticket allocation being cut by 624, so the game can be downgraded to a 'medium-risk' fixture. United revealed that the Metropolitan Police wanted to cut the away allocation to 1,500 tickets, but the Red Devils 'succeeded' and settled upon an agreement of 2,370. United may have to hold a ballot to decide which supporters go to Stamford Bridge and who misses out on a ticket.
