CHERRIES’ trip to Arsenal next month has been given a new kick-off time, in order to be televised.
Andoni Iraola will take his side to Emirates Stadium to face the title-chasing Gunners on Saturday, May 4.
The game was originally due to kick-off at 3pm, but will now get underway at 12.30pm.
The match in north London is due to be shown live on TNT Sports.
For Cherries, the game falls between home games against Brighton & Hove Albion (April 28) and Brentford (May 11).
Arsenal could potentially be in Champions League semi-final action either side of facing Cherries.
A statement read: “The Premier League would like to apologise to supporters for the inconvenience caused by the delay in announcing these fixtures.
"This was caused by significant disruption to London-based fixtures as a result of the planned TFL strikes on Saturday 4 May, which were cancelled on Thursday.
"There have also been additional scheduling complications through the possibility of clubs’ participation in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, which will take place either side of this match round.”
Cherries were beaten 4-0 at home by Arsenal back in September.
