Leeds’ Bournemouth trip moved as FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea prompts schedule change | OneFootball

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Leeds United’s FA Cup semi-final run has brought forward their Premier League Matchweek 34 trip to Bournemouth to Wednesday 22 April at 8pm, with live coverage on Sky Sports.

The Whites had been due to visit the Cherries on Saturday 25 April at 3pm, but their quarter-final win over West Ham means they will be at Wembley that weekend to face Chelsea. The semi-final date is yet to be confirmed and will fall on either the Saturday or Sunday.

Fixtures for the other semi-finalists will also be staged in midweek, with Chelsea and Man City both set for league action before the Wembley ties.

Liam Rosenior’s Blues head to Brighton 24 hours before Leeds go to Bournemouth, giving them an extra day of recovery regardless of when the semi-final is played.

Man City, drawn to face Championship side Southampton in the other semi-final, visit Burnley on Wednesday 22 April.

Further details on the Bournemouth fixture, including ticketing information, will be announced in due course.
