When is the match?
The match will be held at Stamford Bridge.
It will have an afternoon start and will kick-off at 3.00pm.
The game will take place on Saturday, October 17.
What TV channel is it on and can I stream it?
The match will be shown live on BT Sport Box Office.
The game will be one of the first to be shown as part of the new PPV Box Office clashes being rolled out by the Premier League.
In the new format, there will be no pundits or match-coverage and broadcasting will be begin just 10 minutes before kick-off.
All matches will be shown on either Sky or BT Sports.
But fans who do not have either platform will have to fork out £14.95 to watch the match.
This decision has caused outrage amongst fans who are furious that they’ll have to pay the fee to watch their teams play.
All proceeds after production costs will be given to the clubs.
