Three Leeds United fixtures have been moved due to other clubs’ Champions League and European commitments. A Premier League announcement confirmed a schedule reshuffle, with the Whites falling victim to the knock-on effect.
A hectic April will result in Leeds playing seven fixtures as the Premier League run-in heats up. The congestion is escalated further by the unprecedented winter World Cup pausing all top-flight action for over a month earlier in the season.
United’s home clash against Crystal Palace, originally pencilled in for Saturday, April 8 (5.30pm KO), will now take place a day later (Sunday, April 9) at 2pm. In an online update, “consequent to the movement of Southampton vs Manchester City” was given as the explanation.
