Second Monday night televised date for Sheffield United

After their opener with visiting Wolves at Bramall Lane on Monday, September 14, the Blades will now face more Midlands opposition seven days later when they make the trip to Villa Park to face Aston Villa - in another game which will now be broadcast live on Sky Sports on Monday, September 21 (6pm).

United's third fixture of the league campaign - a Yorkshire derby with Leeds United - has also been designated for live coverage at Bramall Lane on Sunday, September 27.

The game will kick-off at 12pm and will be screened on BT Sport.

As it stands, Chris Wilder's side will not play a Saturday league fixture until October 3 when they are due to visit Arsenal - with their first home Premier League game in a traditional Saturday slot not destined to be until October 17 when they entertain Fulham.

At a Premier League shareholders' meeting on Tuesday, clubs agreed that all 28 matches scheduled to be played in September will be broadcast live in the UK, via the league's existing broadcasting partners Sky Sports, BT Sport, Amazon Prime Video and BBC.

Sky Sports and BT Sport have already selected 17 matches for live broadcast for the first three match rounds of the 2020/21 season. Of the remaining 11 matches, Sky Sports will broadcast an additional six, BT Sport a further three and BBC and Amazon Prime Video one each.

The Premier League is also in discussions with BBC Radio 5 Live and talkSPORT to agree a similar solution for radio.
