Saturday's FA Cup third round tie between AFC Bournemouth and Oldham Athletic will now be played at Vitality Stadium.

Originally scheduled to be played at the Latics' Boundary Park home, the decision to switch the venue has been taken due to the current frozen condition of the playing surface in Greater Manchester.

With temperatures remaining low and below freezing in the area, the Football Association has sanctioned the change in venue to ensure the fixture can still go ahead, with the change meaning the broadcast partner is also being able to fulfill its obligation.

The match, which will be played behind closed doors, will retain the original kick-off time, getting under way at 3pm on Saturday 9th January, being broadcast live on BT Sport Extra 6.

Audio commentary will also be available on afcbTV and can be purchased for £2.50 here
