Leeds United have seen one of the key matches of the Premier League run-in moved for live television coverage as May's trip to Manchester City has been pushed back a day.
Javi Gracia's side were due to head across the Pennines to the Etihad on Saturday, May 6 for a 3pm kick-off, but will now take place on Sunday, May 7 and be broadcast live on Sky Sports in a 2pm kick-off.
The match is scheduled to be Leeds' fourth-last of the season and could be key in deciding matters at both ends of the Premier League table, with Gracia's side hoping that they will have achieved safety by then and the Citizens hoping that they will have closed the gap on leaders Arsenal by that point.

The match is, however, subject to City's participation in the Champions League the following Tuesday.
Leeds have had vasty contrasting fortunes at the Etihad Stadium since their return to the top flight, stunning Pep Guardiola's side by winning 2-1 in April 2021 after playing the second half with just ten men in one of the many high-points of Marcelo Bielsa's time in charge, while the next season saw them suffer a 7-0 thrashing.
Earlier this season City saw off Jesse Marsch's Leeds side 3-1 at Elland Road, in the two club's first game back after the World Cup break. City currently sit second in the Premier League table, eight points off Arsenal, having played a game fewer. Leeds' win at Wolves last time out saw them move up to 14th, but they are still just two points off the drop zone.
