Man City v Leeds set for 3pm Saturday broadcast

Manchester City are aiming to win a third consecutive Premier League title

Manchester City's match at home to Leeds is set be televised despite being moved to a 15:00 BST kick-off on a Saturday, the Premier League said.

A rule blocks televised broadcasts of Saturday 3pm kick-offs in the UK.

But King Charles III's coronation and a lack of police resources mean no other time is available, the league said.

"The match will remain live on Sky Sports in the UK, subject to further consultation with relevant stakeholders," read the statement.

"The usual Saturday 12:30 BST live broadcast slot has been avoided so as not to clash with the King's coronation, while a later kick-off is not possible due to police resourcing."

Article 48 of the Football Association's rulebook stops the televised broadcast of games at any level in England between 2.45pm and 5.15pm on a Saturday.

The 'TV blackout' dates back to the 1960s and is designed to protect lower-league attendances - by preventing live football matches being televised which could mean fewer fans going to games in person.

But there are no EFL games on 6 May - with the final round of the Championship, League One and League Two fixtures being played on the Sunday 7 May and Monday 8 May.

Pep Guardiola's City face defending champions Real Madrid over two legs in the last four of the Champions League, with the first leg on 9 May.

They are also second in the Premier League, five points behind leaders Arsenal with two games in hand, and remain on course for the Treble as they face Sheffield United in Saturday's FA Cup semi-final (16:45 BST).

City host Mikel Arteta's side at Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, after which they will have seven Premier League games remaining, including a match at Brighton, which has been rescheduled for Wednesday, 24 May.

The final games of the Premier League campaign will be played on Saturday, 28 May.
