New date and kick-off time as Leeds United's clash at Aston Villa is switched for coverage on BT Sport Box Office at a cost

The Premier League have confirmed that all fixtures until the end of October will be made available for fans to watch live in the UK but with games not already selected being pay per view.

United's clash at Villa which was scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 24 for a 3pm kick-off was one of the five games not selected by Sky or BT Sport for their regular weekend coverage.

Following the Premier League's latest announcement, that meant the Villa Park contest was always heading to be pay per view and BT Sport now have the game listed on their website as an 8pm kick-off on Friday, October 23 to be screened on BT Sport Box Office.

BT Sport have confirmed that the pricing for each game on their Box Office channel will be £14.95 with "revenue going to the Premier League who will use the funds to support clubs in this difficult time."

Newcastle United's hosting of Manchester United next Saturday falls under the same bracket by way of not being selected as one of the five initial games for live broadcast.

Fans have been forbidden from cheering on their teams inside stadiums since March due to the country's long ongoing battle against coronavirus and associated social distancing measures.

With games still being played in empty grounds behind closed doors, every Premier League so far has been screened live on either Sky Sports or BT Sports - but at no additional cost.

Both channels had already announced which games they would be showing live for the rest of the month with United's home clash against Wolves on Monday, October 19 and the club's Elland Road encounter against Leicester City on Monday, November 2 both live on Sky Sports.

But United's fixture at Villa was not selected and Leeds are now set to face two games in five days upon their return from the October international break with the Villa Park clash coming hot on the heels of the Monday night game against Wolves.
