St Mary’s meetings with Manchester City and relegation rivals AFC Bournemouth in April have been given new kick-off times or dates. 

The visit from Pep Guardiola’s Man City has been moved to a 5:30PM start on Saturday, April 8, due to their Champions League quarter-final that week. 

Later in the month, Saints will welcome AFC Bournemouth to St Mary’s on Thursday, April 27 (7:45PM)

Initially scheduled for Wednesday, April 26, the game has been moved back 24 hours after the Cherries’ fixture with West Ham on the preceeding weekend was moved following progress in the Europa Conference League.

With just five games left in the Premier League season following Saints meeting with Bournemouth, this game carries huge significance in the relegation battle.

Both matches will be televised. The encounter with City will be broadcast on Sky Sports, while BT Sport will show the all-south coast clash with Bournemouth.
