SAINTS home clash with Aston Villa has been moved for television coverage.

Dean Smith was set to bring the Villans to St Mary's on November 6.

However, it will now be shown live on Sky Sports, broadcast on Bonfire Night.

The game will now kick-off at 8pm on Friday, November 5.

The Premier League contest is set to be the first time Danny Ings will face his former club, since his sudden departure to Villa Park for £30million in August.

Since joining Villa, England international striker Ings has netted twice in his five outings.

The clash on November 5 comes after a trip to Watford on October 30.

After facing Smith's charges, Saints will have 14 days without a game due to the international break before travelling to Norwich City on November 20.
