Saturday clashes over the next couple of months, including home tussles against Ipswich Town and Leicester City, have been altered.

As has December's long trip to Sunderland's Stadium of Light, with supporters facing an early journey north-east.

The games cover three Saturdays in a row for Carlos Corberan's side from November to December.

The visit of the Tractor Boys on Saturday, November 25 has been moved from a 3pm to a 5.30pm kick-off.

Another Hawthorns clash, at home to Leicester the following Saturday (December 2), has been brought forward to be broadcast with a kick-off time of 12.30pm.

Those two Hawthorns fixtures come either side of a midweek trip to Cardiff on Tuesday, November 28.

And on December 9 travelling Baggies face an early start with kick-off at Tony Mowbray's Sunderland now 12.30pm.

Albion's trip to Leeds' Elland Road in August was shifted to a Friday night kick-off to be broadcast on the channel.
