While en route to Chelsea’s Premier League winning party, Middlesbrough’s team bus got into trouble. The Sun reports that Boro’s coach hit a Ford minivan along the Fulham Road, not far from Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge stadium in London.

No delay to the 8:00 p.m. local time kick off is expected. The Sun says the crash happened at around 7:00 p.m. It was reported earlier that the team bus had been held up in traffic. No injuries have been reported as a result of the incident as the accident doesn’t appear to serious. Although it’s not ideal preparation for what must be Middlesbrough’s most important game of the season.

In order to avoid relegation back to the Championship, Middlesbrough will have to win against the Champions-elect. Boro were only promoted last season and in March sacked manager Aitor Karanka in favor of long-term coach Steve Agnew. While Chelsea, practically assured the title following Spurs’ 1-0 defeat to West Ham on May 5, will want to wrap the season up as soon as possible. A win against Boro and a win at home to West Brom on May 12 will see them crowned as champions for the 2016/17 season.
