Leeds United’s Bournemouth trip moved to midweek as FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea nears | OneFootball

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Leeds United’s FA Cup semi-final run has pushed their Matchweek 34 trip to Bournemouth into midweek, creating a long journey for fans.

They were set for Saturday 25 April at 3pm, but the quarter-final win over West Ham means Leeds will be at Wembley that weekend to face Chelsea. The semi-final date is still to be confirmed, scheduled for either the Saturday or Sunday.

The Bournemouth fixture will now be played on Wednesday 22 April with an 8pm kick-off, and it will be shown live on Sky Sports.

The Premier League has also confirmed that matches involving the other top-flight semi-finalists, Chelsea and Man City, will be in midweek. With Chelsea visiting Brighton 24 hours before Leeds head to Bournemouth, Chelsea will have more rest regardless of when the semi-final falls.

Man City, drawn to face Championship side Southampton in the other semi-final, are away at Burnley on Wednesday 22 April. Leeds said that further details for the Bournemouth trip, including ticketing, will be announced in due course.
