TWO of Middlesbrough’s pre-Christmas fixtures have been rearranged to be screened live on Sky Sports.

Both of the new dates centre on long treks for Boro supporters.

Middlesbrough’s away game at Ipswich Town has been brought forward to Friday, December 4 at 7.45, which is a day earlier than originally planned.

And the game at Brighton’s Amex Stadium will now have the earlier 12.30pm kick-off on Saturday, December 19.
