The game will be played on either January 5 or 6.

We are yet to meet Nigel Adkins’s side in the Barclays Premier League this season, with our game scheduled for mid-December postponed due to our involvement in the Club World Cup. Our last meeting came in April 2005 when we were 3-1 winners at St Mary’s.
