Sunderland's home clash with West Bromwich Albion has been moved forward to a 12:45pm kick off on Saturday 24th November, and will be shown live on Sky Sports.

Originally Sky were set to show Liverpool's clash with Swansea City in the lunchtime slot, but following the Scousers progression in the Europa League, they will be playing on the Thursday beforehand and as a result have had their game moved to the Sunday.

Obviously it's great news for exiles that may not have got there, but there is the minor nark that our games are being moved around when neither club is involved in European action.

Meanwhile the game with Milton Keynes Dons has been confirmed as being played on Tuesday 25th September, with a 7:45pm kick off. The Capital One Cup Third Round game will be the first encounter between the two sides after we knocked out Morecambe in the previous round while the Dons overcame Blackburn Rovers.

There is still no news as yet of when the game with Reading at home will be rearranged for.
