The Keepmoat Stadium fixture had been scheduled to take place on Saturday, January 7.

With Sky keen to televise the encounter, that has now been brought forward 48 hours to Thursday, January 5 (7.45pm).

The sides met at Fratton Park last month, when Darren Ferguson’s high-flying team clinched a 2-1 victory.
