Three Leeds United games moved as Stoke City clash is picked for live Sky Sports broadcast

The Elland Road encounter against Michael O'Neill's Potters was initially set to take place two days earlier on Tuesday, July 7 with a 7.45pm kick-off but the contest has been picked as part of Sky's second batch of live games for the remainder of the Championship campaign.

Consequently, United's subsequent fixtures at Swansea City and at home to Barnsley have also been provisionally rearranged for 24 hours later than originally scheduled.

The clash at Swansea which was due to take place on Saturday, July 11 has now been set for a 3pm kick-off on Sunday, July 12 but United's last four games - of which the Swans clash is the first of - may change subject to broadcast selections.

Leeds' third last game - at home to Barnsley - is now scheduled to take place on Wednesday, July 15 with a 7.45pm kick-off having initially been set for the night before.

Future broadcast selections will be announced in due course but already three of United's first five games back will be live on Sky, starting with the clash at Cardiff City on Sunday, June 21 (kick-off 12 noon).

United's second game back - the Elland Road crunch clash against third-placed Fulham - will also be live on Sky on Saturday, June 27 with a 3pm kick-off.
