MIDDLESBROUGH will have a blank weekend in ten days’ time after their trip to MK Dons was postponed because of their scheduled opponents’ progress in the FA Cup.

MK Dons will now be playing Chelsea in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday, January 30 after they beat Northampton Town 3-0 in this evening's third-round replay.

As a result, Boro’s trip to Stadium MK will have to be rescheduled.
