Boxing Day kick-off change

The Boxing Day fixture away to Portsmouth has been moved to a 1pm kick-off rather than 3pm as originally announced.

The 26 December meeting promises to be a close contest if last season's fixture at Fratton Park is anything to go by. On 27 October 2007, the two sides played out a competitive goalless draw that saw Robert Green save a last-minute penalty to earn Alan Curbishley's team a point. Please note all of the 2008/09 fixtures announced last Monday are subject to change and any alterations will be announced as soon as possible.
