The timing of the second East Anglian derby of the Championship season between Norwich City and Ipswich Town has been confirmed.

Promotion-chasing Ipswich will travel to Norfolk next month, and Sky Sports has confirmed they will broadcast the clash. 

The date of the derby will remain as Saturday, April 6, but has been moved forward to 12.30pm instead of a 3pm kick-off. 

Norwich, who are unbeaten in the clash in 14 years, are chasing a top-six spot and are 23 points behind their rivals in the Championship table. 

A brace from winger Jon Rowe at Portman Road in December ensured City left Suffolk with a point in a 2-2 draw. Nathan Broadhead gave Ipswich the lead in the encounter before Wes Burns levelled late on to restore parity. 

Ipswich are without a victory at Carrow Road since February 2006, when Danny Haynes netted a controversial winner.  

It could be a clash that holds major significance to both sides respective pushes for promotion - with Ipswich challenging for automatics and Norwich fighting for a top six spot.
