Leeds United’s Tottenham trip moved to Monday with 8pm kick-off confirmed | OneFootball

Leeds United’s Premier League match at Tottenham Hotspur has been moved to Monday, May 11, with an 8pm kick-off on Sky Sports. The switch means a late return from North London for travelling fans.

The Premier League confirmed the matchweek 36 schedule on Thursday afternoon.

It is set to be a major relegation six-pointer, with Leeds currently 15th in the table, two places and three points ahead of Spurs. It will be their third from last game of the season.

Leeds and Tottenham will be the final relegation-threatened sides to play that weekend. Nottingham Forest host Newcastle at 2pm on Sunday, 10 May, with West Ham welcoming Arsenal to the London Stadium later that day.

A Monday night finish close to 10pm leaves an arduous journey back, and London King’s Cross station, for trains to Leeds, is at least 40 minutes from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium by public transport.

It is the second recent change to a floodlit slot for Leeds, after Burnley’s trip to Elland Road in gameweek 35 was moved to Friday, the first of May, for an 8pm kick-off on Sky Sports.
