The Whites will be shown live on Sky Sports for the 19th time this season.

The match at Villa Park has been moved to Friday, April 13 (7.45pm kick-off) following the announcement today of Sky’s latest television picks.

The fixture is Leeds’ penultimate away match and was always likely to be chosen for broadcast with Villa in contention for automatic promotion and United battling to stay in touch with the play-offs.

Leeds have already featured in 16 televised Championship matches this term and will contest another tomorrow night if their trip to Middlesbrough avoids postponement amid heavy snow across the country.

Next Wednesday’s home clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers is also being shown live on Sky.
