The October fixture between the Whites and Steven Gerrard's side in West Yorkshire had already been moved for live coverage on Sky Sports and given a new date of Sunday, October 2 instead of Saturday, October 1.

The Premier League announced last month that the game would kick-off at either 2pm or 4.30pm as part of a day when Sky Sports will also screen the Manchester derby live.

The kick-off time was dependent on Manchester City playing in the Champions League on Tuesday, October 4.
