Crystal Palace vs Leeds United game moved after Sky TV selection

Leeds United's Premier League trip to Crystal Palace has been selected for live broadcast on Sky Sports. The Whites were scheduled to take on Patrick Viera's side on Saturday, April 23, but the game has been pushed back two days after being chosen for live coverage.

The fixture will now take place on Monday, April 25, with the game kicking-off at 8pm. This is the first time the Whites will have featured on a Monday this season.

Meanwhile, Palace will have already played on a Monday four times before their game against Leeds after being scheduled to face Brighton, Arsenal twice and Manchester City. Viera's side, however, have drawn all three games before facing the Gunners in the reverse fixture this weekend.

With Leeds set to have a two-week break between their trip to Watford and Palace, the Whites will now have more time to prepare for the game at Selhurst Park. A home game against Southampton kicks-off Leeds' action in April, before they also face Man City on TV on April 30.

Palace have two more scheduled games than Leeds due to their participation in the FA Cup. The Eagles are set to face Chelsea at Wembley Stadium in the semi-final on April 16, before they take on Newcastle United in a rearranged fixture on April 20, leaving them a busy set of matches before the game against Leeds.

The two sides last met back in November where the Whites came out on top. Raphinha's injury-time penalty proved to be decisive at Elland Road as Leeds recorded just their second home win of the campaign, coming out with a narrow 1-0 success.
