Leicester City’s Championship clash with promotion rivals Southampton has been rescheduled.
Table-toppers City will host the fourth-placed Saints on Tuesday, April 23, in what will be their third-to-last game of the season. It has been moved following City’s progression into the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Currently, that puts the game between an all-Midlands encounter at the King Power Stadium against play-off-chasing West Brom and a trip to Preston in City’s final away game of the season. However, there are more potential changes.
If City pull off an upset and beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup quarter-final, they will play their semi-final at Wembley on the weekend of April 20/21. That would mean the West Brom game will have to be moved.
In all, that would then see City playing 10 games in 37 days after the March international break as the Championship season comes to a climax and Enzo Maresca’s side push for domestic glory too. The regular season concludes on Saturday, May 4, with City at home to Blackburn Rovers.
