All six of Leeds United's games in December moved for live coverage by Sky Sports or Amazon Prime Video

United's clash at Chelsea on Saturday, December 5 stays on the same day but will now kick-off at 8pm due to live coverage on Sky Sports.

Sky will also broadcast the following weekend's home clash against West Ham United which has been brought forward a day to be staged on Friday, December 11 with an 8pm kick-off.

Newcastle United's visit to Elland Road the following mid-week will then be a 6pm kick-off on Wednesday, December 16 as the first of two games shown live on Amazon Prime Video.

The Premier League fixture at Manchester United the following weekend will then be shown live by Sky as a 4.30pm kick-off on Sunday, December 20.

Sky will also show United's fixture as part of the Boxing Day round of games with Leeds at home to Burnley for what will now be a 12pm kick-off on Sunday, December 27.

A busy month will then end with a trip to West Brom on Tuesday, December 29 for another 6pm kick-off live on Amazon Prime Video.

All 60 of December's top flight games will be shown live by one of the Premier League's broadcast partners due to the country's ongoing battle against coronavirus which has had all games being played behind closed doors and without fans since March.

Twenty seven games are live on Sky Sports, with 23 on Amazon Prime Video, nine on BT Sport and one on BBC - Crystal Palace's clash at Aston Villa on Boxing Day for a 3pm kick-off.

A statement from the Premier League that accompanied Thursday's fixture amendments read: "The plan to broadcast all matches live in the UK over the festive period has been made with the cooperation of our broadcast partners, working with us to deliver these additional matches while stadiums are without fans or at highly reduced capacities.

"The Premier League and our clubs remain committed to the safe return of all fans as soon as possible.

"We will continue to work on the agreement of a roadmap, with DCMS and the Sports Technology and Innovation Group, for pilot events that can help our clubs quickly scale up to larger capacities in line with the Sports Ground Safety Authority’s COVID-secure guidelines and beyond."
