Brighton and Hove Albion will now play Leicester City on January 23
ALBION's Premier League game against Leicester City next month has been moved to a new date.
The match at the King Power Stadium will now be played on January 23 with a kick-off of 2 pm.
The decision was made so the game would not clash with a Leicester Tigers rugby union match.
The rugby match is being televised on the Saturday before for their European Champions Cup campaign.

The new fixture has not been selected for live broadcast in the UK.
The match will be the third time the two sides have met this season.
Albion won the Premier League fixture at the Amex Stadium early on in the season.
However, the Foxes came out on top at the King Power Stadium after a penalty shootout in the Carabao Cup.
