Why was theBurnley vs Southamptonmatch postponed?

Due to the victory against West Ham, Southamptonwill now be involved in the FA Cup Quarter-Finals, which means the Burnley encounter had tobe postponed until later in the campaign. As it stands, Sean Dyche’s side already have games at Aston Villa and at home against Everton to fit in, and both of those teams will be in action that weekend, making a last-minute arrangement unlikely.
