Three Hull City Championship fixture changes confirmed including Millwall and Sunderland games

Three Hull City games in the New Year have all been moved to accommodate television coverage with all three coming away from the MKM Stadium.

City's trips to Millwall and Sunderland will still take place on the same dates, just with an earlier kick off time. But the Yorkshire derby against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane has been brought forward 24 hours and will be played on a Friday night instead of a Saturday afternoon in South Yorkshire.

The Tigers' trip to The Den to take on Neil Harris' in-form Lions and the visit to Championship leaders Sunderland will now both be played at 12:30pm on January 18 and February 22, respectively, with the clash against Chris Wilder's Blades scheduled for 8pm on January 24.
