TWO of Southampton’s Premier League fixtures in September have been moved due to being selected for live TV coverage.
The home clash with Manchester United at St Mary’s remains on the originally scheduled date of Saturday, September 14.
However, the match will now kick off at the earlier time of 12:30pm, with coverage of the fixture live on TNT Sports.
The short trip to AFC Bournemouth will also be televised, moving to Monday, September 30, in an 8pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports.
The match versus Man United will be Southampton's fourth of the league season, following meetings with Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest and Brentford.
Saints then take on fellow promoted outfit Ipswich Town on Saturday, September 21 (3pm), before visiting Bournemouth the next weekend.
