Why some Champions League games have an earlier kick-off time as Chelsea face Dinamo Zagreb

Chelsea begin their UEFA Champions League campaign with a tough trip away against Dinamo Zagreb this evening (Tuesday).

The Blues are currently in action, with their game against Zagreb kicking off at an earlier time of 5:45PM UK time, whilst Premier League rivals Manchester City are in action at the usual time of 8PM UK time. Chelsea have endured a difficult start to the season, picking up three wins from their opening six games.

Thomas Tuchel will be hoping his side can repeat their success from 2020 this season and win the Champions League for a second time under his management. The west Londoners are currently 1-0 down at the time of writing, with Zagreb star Mislav Orsic opening the scoring for the hosts.
