Hull City's Championship trip to Ipswich Town will now kick off their March programme.

The Tigers had been due to face the Tractor Boys in the middle of February, but the game had to be moved once Hull reached the fourth round of the FA Cup.

They have been drawn at home to Liam Rosenior's Chelsea, meaning their first five February matches will now all be played in East Yorkshire.

The Portman Road game will instead kick off at 7.54pm on March 3.

It means seven matches in 21 days for Hull, but coach Sergej Jakirovic has never been fazed by the idea of playing twice a week, arguing his players prefer that sort of busy schedule.

Three consecutive wins have drawn Hull level on points with third-placed Ipswich. Both have 50 points from 28 games. Middlesbrough, in the second automatic promotion spot, are five points ahead having played a game more.
