Leeds United's Premier League clash with Bournemouth has been rescheduled to 8pm on Wednesday, April 22 as a result of the Lilywhites making it to the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
Daniel Farke's side were initially set to make the trip to the Vitality Stadium on Saturday, April 25 at 3pm.
However, given that they will now play in the final four of the FA Cup at Wembley that weekend, their league fixture has been brought forward by three days.
Leeds are set to take on Chelsea in the semi-finals of the coveted domestic competition, while Manchester City take on Southampton - with games slated for April 25 and April 26 respectively.
All four teams are still waiting to learn the exact date which they will take to the hallowed turf of Wembley, with the FA set to unveil their schedule imminently.
United secured their spot in the final four thanks to a tense penalty shootout win over West Ham at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Ao Tanaka gave the visitors the lead midway through the first-half, before Dominic Calvert-Lewin seemingly put the game out of reach of the Hammers from the penalty spot with just 15 minutes left to play.

However, in a clash without its drama, fate had other plans for Leeds.
A staggering 11 minutes of stoppage time due to injury proved particularly problematic for Farke's injury depleted first-team, as Matheus Fernandes pulled one back just three minutes in.
Axel Disasi then levelled matters four minutes later, as Leeds saw a comfortable 2-0 lead diminish - held to a 2-2 draw.
A gruelling additional 30 minutes were then added on, neither team able to break the deadlock - albeit, West Ham saw two goals ruled out for offside.
A penalty shootout was needed to separate the two sides, with Leeds ultimately running out 4-2 winners from 12 yards thanks to Lucas Perri's heroics - saving spot kicks from Jarrod Bowen and Pablo.
An exiting semi-final match-up with Chelsea now awaits at Wembley later this month, with Leeds presented with an opportunity to clinch just their second FA Cup in their rich history.
Their only win in the competition landed on May 6, 1972 - Allan Clarke's 53rd-minute goal proving decisive against a strong Arsenal side.

The club's last semi-final outing in the competition, meanwhile, came in 1987 - where they suffered a 3-2 loss at the hands of Coventry City after extra time. Lilywhites fans worldwide will be hoping for a change of fortune later this month.
