The match will be shown live on TNT Sports and discovery+, while ticket details to attend as an away supporter will be confirmed in the coming days.

Tonda Eckert’s side have four consecutive aways, with Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, February 28, and West Brom on Wednesday, March 11.

They will then head to Championship title hopefuls Coventry City on Saturday, March 14, which is a 12.30pm kick-off due to Sky Sports broadcasting.
