Premier League: Why Arsenal vs Everton & Chelsea vs Newcastle kick-off at 5:30pm on Saturday


Two Premier League matches kick-off at 17:30 GMT on Saturday due to Arsenal's progression in this season's Champions League. The Gunners host Everton during Saturday's teatime slot, while Chelsea host Newcastle at the same time. Both Saturday 5.30pm Premier League games will be broadcast simultaneously on Sky Sports for the first time this season. With all nine English clubs that qualified for Europe this season still in the last-16 stage of their respective competitions, it has caused some scheduling conundrums for the Premier League throughout this campaign. The Premier League aims to ensure all teams have a 72-hour gap between kick-off times to protect player welfare.
