Boro have confirmed this month’s Sky Bet Championship clash with Cardiff City has been rearranged.
The Bluebirds were scheduled to face Boro at the Riverside on Saturday, January 24, but this has now been moved forward after both sides successfully reached the FA Cup fourth round.
Aitor Karanka will take his side to Premier League champions Manchester City on that weekend, while Cardiff will welcome Reading to South Wales.
Boro will instead entertain Russell Slade’s side on Tuesday, January 20 (7.45pm kick-off) as the race for promotion gathers pace.
Tickets for the Teessiders’ first trip to the Etihad Stadium in six years are expected to be in high-demand, but a date for the tie has yet to be confirmed by the Football Association.
Clubs are still waiting to hear which fourth round matches have been chosen for live television coverage, a decision that is expected to be made this week.
Manchester City saw off Championship side Sheffield Wednesday in the third round, with the Owls selling out their away allocation of 5,500.
It is likely that Boro will be granted a similar allocation for the fourth round clash.
