Chelsea’s trip to Manchester City and home clash with Tottenham at the start of next year have both been chosen for live TV broadcast.

The Blues will face Pep Guardiola’s City side at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, 15 January but the game will now kick-off at the earlier time of 12.30pm and be shown on BT Sport.

Then, a week later, Thomas Tuchel’s squad welcome Antonio Conte back to Stamford Bridge as we host his Tottenham side at 4.30pm on Sunday, 23 January. That game will be shown live on Sky Sports.

Further details on both fixtures will be announced in due course.
