MIDDLESBROUGH’S FA Cup fourth-round trip to Manchester City has been surprisingly overlooked for live television coverage and will take place on Saturday, January 24 (3pm).

Both the BBC and BT Sport are still to confirm their selections for fourth-round coverage, but Middlesbrough officials have received an indication that their game has not been chosen and the date has been fixed accordingly.

Boro have received an allocation of 5,500 tickets for the game, with selling details due to be confirmed in due course.
