Leeds’ Bournemouth trip moved for FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea | OneFootball

Leeds United's progress to the FA Cup semi-finals has forced a change to their Matchweek 34 schedule. According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, the trip to Bournemouth will now be played on Wednesday 22 April, with an eight pm kick-off live on Sky Sports.

The Whites had been due to face Bournemouth on Saturday 25 April at three pm, but their quarter-final win over West Ham means they will be at Wembley that weekend to face Chelsea. The semi-final date has yet to be confirmed, and will fall on the Saturday or Sunday.

Fixtures for fellow semi-finalists Chelsea and Man City are also in midweek. Regardless of when the semi-final is staged, opponents Chelsea will be better rested, with Liam Rosenior's Blues travelling to Brighton 24 hours before Leeds head to Bournemouth. Man City, drawn to face Championship side Southampton in the other semi-final, are away at Burnley on Wednesday 22 April.

The rearrangement leaves supporters with a lengthy midweek journey.

Further details for the Bournemouth game, including ticketing information, will be set out in due course.
