Is Leeds United v Arsenal on TV? Why is it on a Sunday? Team news and TV details

Leeds United's unbeaten start to the season at Elland Road will be tested by the top team in the Premier League when Arsenal are the visitors on Sunday.

With not much football in September, it is a long time since the Whites last tasted victory. They have not won a league match since beating Chelsea in August, a win they followed up against Barnsley in the League Cup days later.

Is it on TV?

The game is not being shown live. Highlights will be on Match of the Day 2 from 10.30pm on BBC One, although with Manchester City playing Liverpool that afternoon, do not expect it to be the main game.
