Prem pair do switch

WEST HAM and Southampton have agreed to swap fixtures next season to accommodate the World Athletics Championships at the London Stadium in August.

The Hammers had been slated to face the Saints at home in their second game, on Saturday, August 19.

Instead they will travel to St Mary’s on that day with the return fixture in London on Saturday, March 31.

West Ham’s first match of the new campaign is on Saturday, August 12, away to Manchester United.
