The home opener of West Ham United with Chelsea will be moved to Friday evening, after the police had not collected any objections.
The two rivals would meet at the London Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday 23 August.

A payment of approximately £ 7 million was agreed, in the form of ‘an unconditional gift’. Premier League sources at that time insisted that it was not a sweetener.
