Premier League campaigners Aston Villa and Bournemouth have both had their top-flight fixtures rearranged after the schedule for the FA Cup quarter-finals were announced.
The Football Association confirmed on Thursday that the dates for the FA Cup quarter-finals have been scheduled for the weekend of March 29th and 30th, after working with the Premier League to solve the scheduling issue.
This comes following the realisation that none of the games could be switched to Sunday March 30th, meaning Aston Villa’s clash away at Brighton and Bournemouth’s home fixture against Brentford have both been pushed back from Tuesday April 1st to Wednesday April 2nd.
The matches have been rescheduled after Villa and Bournemouth’s Cup games were picked for FA Cup coverage.
FA Cup Quarter-Final Schedule:
Saturday, March 29
Fulham vs Crystal Palace – 12:15
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest – 17:15
Sunday, March 30
Preston North End vs Aston Villa – 13:30
Bournemouth vs Manchester City – 16:30
