Is Sunderland vs Leeds United on TV? Coverage details with huge Whites opportunity
Coverage details as Leeds United resume their Premier League survival bid against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
Leeds United finally lock horns with Sunderland for the first time this season at the Stadium of Light today - but what are the coverage details?
The Whites and Black Cats went up together from last season’s Championship but in very different circumstances, Leeds ending up 24 points clear of fourth-placed finishers Sunderland in winning the division on 100 points.
The Black Cats, though, ultimately joined Daniel Farke’s men in heading back to the top division after defeating Sheffield United in a dramatic play-off final.
Eight points between the two sides
Seven months later, a superb first half of the campaign has seventh-placed Sunderland sat eight points clear of fifth-bottom Leeds ahead of the season’s first meeting between the two sides at the Stadium of Light.
The Black Cats and Whites will lock horns in a 2pm kick-off which is being broadcast on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Ultra HDR.
Saturday’s results have left Leeds six points clear of the dropzone but with this afternoon’s fixture acting as a game in hand, providing the Whites with the huge opportunity to kick nine or seven points clear of third-bottom West Ham.
