Chelsea will return to Wembley Stadium in April for the 2023/24 FA Cup semi-finals.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men have already played at England’s national stadium once in 2023/24, losing the Carabao Cup final to Liverpool in extra time thanks to a Virgil van Dijk goal.
A trophy would do wonders for Pochettino, who has endured heavy criticism in his first season in charge, from both Chelsea fans and pundits. Lavish transfer spending under Todd Boehly’s ownership has brought little tangible success to the London club, which was 11th in the table when the March international break began.
There is still a chance of Chelsea qualifying for Europe next season through a league position, but they will need to get a series of positive results to stay in contention. The match against Brighton & Hove Albion, who are also fighting for a European place, could have a major influence on the Blues’ attempt to return to continental football.
However, that game had to be postponed due to a scheduling conflict. The Jugo Mobile looks at why it was moved and when it could happen.
When is Brighton vs Chelsea? Premier League match date and time
Chelsea’s trip to the south coast of England to face Brighton & Hove Albion was scheduled for the weekend of April 20-21, but the potential clash with the FA Cup semi-finals means the match has been postponed.
The Premier League has not yet announced a new date and time for the match.
Brighton are no longer participating in the UEFA Europa League, having been eliminated by Roma in the last round, while Chelsea did not qualify for Europe this season. That should make it easier to rearrange this match, although Chelsea’s postponed match against Arsenal should also have a new confirmed date announced soon.
One possibility could be to organize a postponed midweek match before the FA Cup semi-finals, in the week beginning April 15. The following week (beginning April 22) is another option.
Because it was Brighton vs Chelsea postponed?
This match had to be postponed after Chelsea reached the semi-finals of the 2023/24 FA Cup.
The Blues defeated Championship promotion hopefuls Leicester City, winning 4-2 at Stamford Bridge in the quarter-finals. They will now face defending champions Manchester City in the semi-finals after Pep Guardiola’s side defeated Newcastle United 2-0.
Which Premier League matches have been postponed due to the FA Cup semi-finals?
Three matches have been postponed as a result of the FA Cup semi-finals, which will take place on the weekend of April 20-21.
Along with Brighton vs. Chelsea, Tottenham’s home game against Manchester City and Manchester United’s clash against Newcastle United at Old Trafford have also been postponed, with new dates yet to be confirmed.
