The latest round of Premier League TV fixtures has been released.

They include Manchester United's trip to Bournemouth being brought forward a day to Friday, 20 March, with an 20:00 GMT kick-off.

United's home game with Aston Villa the previous week has not been chosen among the selections, so it currently remains at 15:00 GMT on Saturday, 14 March.

However, the week before is a Uefa week, so if Villa are in the last 16 of Europa League - they are third in the league table with two games remaining and the top eight qualify directly - the league match will move to Sunday, 15 March.

The last time United played in a match that started on Saturday at 15:00 was at Nottingham Forest on 1 November. Their last home 15:00 game was against Sunderland on 4 October.

The Bournemouth match will be sixth time United have played on either Monday or Friday in the Premier League this season.
