Tottenham are set to receive help from the Premier League in their bid for Champions League glory, with their match against Bournemouth brought forward to allow more preparation time before the semi-final second leg.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino pleaded with the Premier League on Thursday to give his side the same time as Ajax ahead of both semi-final legs.
That will not be the case but the Premier League intend to move Tottenham's match against Bournemouth, due to be played on Monday May 6, two days before the second leg in Amsterdam. Spurs now expect that match to be on Saturday May 4.
