Nottingham Forest see key Championship away matches moved for Sky Sports live coverage

Nottingham Forest have seen their first two away matches moved in the month of February for live Sky Sports coverage.

The Reds open the month with the visit of East Midlands rivals Leicester City for the first time since 2014 at some stage over the first weekend of the month.

Coventry City were meant to be welcomed in the Championship that same Saturday but will be rearranged due to their cup exploits.

Therefore the first league outing will be the trip to Blackburn Rovers, who currently sit second in the table, and that midweek trip (February 9) will be shown live on Sky.

A difficult start to the month continues the following week when Stoke City make the short trip to the City Ground.

The toughest league task of them all will now come on the following Friday (February 18) as the visit to table-toppers Bournemouth will kick off that particular weekend of Championship action at 7:45pm.

Preston North End the following midweek makes it back-to-back trips in opposite directions of the country for Steve Cooper's side before Bristol City make the trip Trentside on the final weekend of a six-match month.
