Two more Leeds United matches chosen for TV coverage as Liverpool clash moved

Leeds United's matches against Liverpool and Newcastle United have been selected for TV coverage.

The Whites' opening day trip to Manchester United and their second away match of the season against Burnley have already been chosen by the broadcasters in August.

Now, United's Elland Road clash against Liverpool has been moved to Sunday, September 12, with kick-off now at 4:30pm, as part of Sky Sports' Super Sunday.

The match could be moved once again, though, due to Liverpool's involvement in the Champions League in the midweek leading up the game.

Leeds' trip to St James' Park will now be shown on Friday, September 17 too, after being selected for the weekend's opening match, again by Sky Sports.

The match against Newcastle United will now begin at 8pm under the floodlights in the North East.

Leeds United held Liverpool to a 1-1 draw at Elland Road in April and beat Newcastle at St James' Park 2-1 in January thanks to goals from Raphinha and Jack Harrison.

These latest selections mean four of Leeds' first five matches will feature on TV, further underlying the attraction of Marcelo Bielsa's side.
