UEFA are set to make an exception to their same-city guidelines by allowing Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur to each play their European ties in London on the same evening next month.
Mail Sport has been told the relevant authorities have given the green light for both home games to go ahead on Thursday March 13 ahead of their respective draws on Friday.
Chelsea and Tottenham have reached the round of 16 in the Conference League and Europa League respectively, and are scheduled for home advantage in their second legs.
UEFA's rules define a ‘clash' as when two clubs cannot compete on the same day because they share the same stadium, same city or are in cities within a radius of 50km. Stamford Bridge and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium are approximately 16km away from one another.
Ahead of Thursday night’s play-off ties, Chelsea knew they could be drawn with Real Betis, Gent, Copenhagen or Heidenheim in the Conference League, while Tottenham will face either AZ, Galatasaray, Midtjylland or Real Sociedad in the Europa League.
