Leeds United hoping for happy Mondays as they and Sheffield United have matches moved for television

Sky Sports and BT Sports have announced the fixture changes for the upcoming fixtures, and both Yorkshire clubs are effected.

Two Elland Road matches, against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City, have been moved to Monday nights so they can be shown on Sky. The games will now be played on October 18 and November 2 respectively, both kicking off at 8pm.

The Blades home game against Manchester City will now kick off at 12.30pm on October 31, and be shown on BT. The match falls in between Champions League matches for Pep Guardiola's side.

It had originally been hoped that October's matches would be played in front of limited crowds, but the Government have backtracked in the face of rising coronavirus infection rates, despite seven apparently successful Football League pilot matches days earlier.
