Leeds and promotion rivals selected for TV coverage as Sky Sports confirm latest schedule

Sky Sports have today confirmed their latest round of picks for the Championship and Leeds United have once again been selected.

With the end of the season now firmly in sight, the EFL's UK broadcaster, Sky, have selected three more games to be shown on TV.

The latest picks cover the weekend of July 17-19, which is the penultimate round of games in the second tier. The season is set to finish on Wednesday, 22nd July.

The latest round of picks sees Huddersfield Town and West Brom kick off the TV schedule for matchday 45, kicking off at 5.30pm on Friday, July 17.

An intriguing encounter between Stoke City and Brentford will then be shown the following day, a 12.30pm kick-off.

That one could have ramifications at both ends of the table with the Bees chasing automatic promotion and Stoke City fighting for their lives at the bottom.

The weekend's coverage of the second tier will then conclude with Derby County v Leeds on Sunday, July 19.

The 2pm kick-off will see the play-off hopefuls Derby host a Leeds side who will hope to be promoted by the time this one rolls around.

Marcelo Bielsa's men are currently one point clear of West Brom at the top and six ahead of Brentford in third.

Leeds will be hoping their attention will have shifted to winning the title by the time they face Derby.

The two teams share an old rivalry which became even more fierce after the Rams defeated the Whites in last year's play-off semi-finals.
