Why Manchester United U23s vs Chelsea U23s is not being streamed in Premier League 2 Division 1

Newcastle vs Wolves being broadcasted on TV at the same time as Premier League 2, Division 1 fixtures means that Chelsea supporters will not be able to tune in and see their next generation of first team players tonight.

The Toon's home fixture in the Premier League against Bruno Lage's Wolves outfit is set to be the game to open the latest round of Premier League fixtures as we approach the run in part of the season.

St James' Park is set to host the two sides and that game itself is to be shown on the Friday Night Football, with coverage on Sky Sports of this Premier League fixture getting underway from 7 PM on Friday night.

Unfortunately, this fixture coincides with the Chelsea U23's away game against Man United, with their games usually shown on Chelsea TV- the club's official channel.

However, The Friday Night Football fixture means it isn't business as usual for Andy Myers' struggling Under 23s, with fans unable to tune in due to current Premier League regulations.

According to , "Premier League rules prohibit clubs from broadcasting live PL2 games while a Premier League game is being shown live and, as ridiculous as this is, there's a game tonight stopping Chelsea TV or MUTV from showing it. MUTV has it in full from 10pm."

Kick-off in this PL 2, DIV 1 encounter between the 4th placed and 13th placed side is 7 PM tonight and with no Chelsea fans expected to be subscribed to MUTV, YouTube highlights will be the way to go about seeing what happened in the game once it is over.
