MIDDLESBROUGH'S game at Bournemouth on Saturday, March 21 will now kick off at the earlier time of 12.15pm.

The game at the Goldsands Stadium, which could have a major say on the outcome of the Championship promotion race, has been selected for live coverage on Sky Sports.

The decision means Boro will now be televised live on successive weekends, with the previous Saturday's home game with Ipswich Town also having been selected for live coverage.

In addition to those two matches, the trip to Brentford on Saturday, January 31 and the home game with Leeds United on Saturday, February 21 will also be live TV games with a 12.15pm kick-off.
