Southampton vs Tottenham will kick off at the unusual time of 7pm on Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Usually the latest Sunday fixture kicks off at 4:30pm and is normally reserved for the biggest games of that weekend.<\/p>\n

Spurs’ trip to St Mary’s was initially due to take place on Saturday at 12:30pm but was moved.<\/p>\n

Even stranger still is that another Premier League game will take place at the same time, meaning a 7pm football<\/a> double-header. But why has this happened?<\/p>\n

Southampton Vs Tottenham: Why The Bizarre Kick-Off Time At 7pm?<\/h2>\n

The main reason the Southampton vs Tottenham<\/a> kick-off time has been moved to 7pm on Sunday was because of Spurs’ involvement in Europe.<\/p>\n

Spurs drew 1-1 with Rangers<\/a> in the Europa League on Thursday. Their game at Ibrox meant the turnaround to midday on Saturday was too short and was moved back a day.<\/p>\n

However, with Brighton’s derby clash with Crystal Palace taking place on Sky Sports at 2pm and the Manchester derby taking place at 4:30pm, Spurs were forced to play the unique kick-off time.<\/p>\n
