SAINTS must reschedule their Championship fixture with Preston North End following a late postponement. 

The match was called off on the advice of emergency services following a fire in the St Mary's industrial estate.

Saints have 11 matches left to fulfil in their league season with an international break scheduled later this month.

They must also rearrange a trip to Leicester City initially set for Friday, March 15, after the Foxes qualified for the FA Cup fifth round.

Here are the potential slots they could use to fulfil the fixtures...

Tuesday 12 or Wednesday 13 March

The EFL and clubs would have less than a week to rearrange the fixture into this pre-international break slot.

Tuesday 16 or Wednesday 17 April 

The Easter schedule and a midweek round of games in the second week of April mean this is the next available slot. 

Tuesday 23 or Wednesday 24 April 

The following week is also an available midweek slot and these feel like the most likely opportunities to fulfil the games. 

Tuesday 30 April or Wednesday 1 May

This is the week of the final day of the Championship season, with league fixtures concluding on Saturday, May 4.

Saints have confirmed that fixture will be rescheduled in due course, with tickets purchased remaining valid for the rearranged match.
