The Sky Bet Championship fixture between Blackburn and Ipswich has been rearranged for Tuesday December 2, kick-off 7.45pm.

The original fixture at Ewood Park in September was abandoned in the 80th minute due to a waterlogged pitch.

Blackburn wanted the three points to be awarded to them because they were leading 1-0 in the match when it was called off, and Ipswich had seen a player red carded. However, the EFL refused that request.

As Sky Sports News reported last month, Ipswich will not consider allowing Blackburn to score a goal unopposed and will compete fully for the 90 minutes.

Ipswich had been reduced to 10 men due to Jacob Greaves' sending off when referee Steve Martin temporarily suspended the match due to heavy rain at Ewood Park with 10 minutes of normal time remaining. After a short delay, it was called off altogether due to the state of the pitch.
