TWO Saints fixtures next month have been given new kick-off times due to being selected for TV coverage.

Southampton’s clash with Preston North End at St Mary's and the visit to Leicester City will now kick off at 8pm.

Both have been selected for broadcast coverage by Sky Sports but will remain on their originally scheduled dates. 

Preston North End visit St Mary's on Tuesday, April 16, while Saints will make the trip to Leicester on Tuesday, April 23. 

Both fixtures should have taken place in March but were postponed, meaning Saints will finish their league season with 10 games in 36 days. 

Preston were due to visit last Wednesday but the game was called off hours before kick-off due to a fire in the St Mary's industrial estate.

The King Power Stadium clash was postponed due to Leicester City competing in the FA Cup quarter-final this weekend.
