Is Man Utd v Leeds United on TV tonight? Kick-off time and how to follow

Manchester United host bitter rivals Leeds United at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Wednesday night.

The last two games between the sides have an aggregate score of 9-3 to Erik ten Hag's outfit, so expect goals in this one. The Red Devils are enjoying a sublime season but will be without linchpin Casemiro tonight, who is suspended after appearing to choke Will Hughes against Crystal Palace last weekend.

Leeds, who are manager-less after Jesse Marsch's sacking earlier this week, have not won a league game since before the World Cup, when they beat Bournemouth 4-3. The Whites are in serious relegation danger. Here is everything you need to know about the game.

What time is Manchester United v Leeds United kick-off?

The game kicks off at 8pm on Wednesday, February 8, at Old Trafford.

What TV channel is it on?

Unfortunately, the match will not be shown on live TV. It has simply not been chosen for live broadcast.

The game was initially meant to be played on Saturday, September 17, at 3pm, but with the death of Queen Elizabeth II, along with United's Europa League schedule and the World Cup, it means it has taken up until now for the fixture to finally be played.

According to The Athletic, the likes of Sky, BT Sport and Amazon Prime didn't choose the fixture originally for broadcast, and this now cannot be changed. This is a rare occurrence however, as every match between the old foes has been shown on live TV since Leeds returned to the top flight.

The pair will play each other again in the Premier League on Sunday, this time at Elland Road, and that one will be televised on Sky Sports.

You can follow live radio updates on talkSPORT this evening.
