Yorkshire Cup battle gets Sky date

Leeds’ FA Cup quarter-final at First Division promotion-challengers Sheffield United has been given a morning kick-off on Sunday March 9.

The Yorkshire derby, which will see the Barclaycard Premiership outfit bidding for revenge following their Worthington Cup defeat at Bramall Lane in November, will begin at 11.30am and be televised live by Sky Sports.

Sky will also show Southampton against Wolves on the same day, kicking off at 4pm, while the BBC will broadcast live coverage of holders Arsenal’s mouth-watering home tie with Chelsea from 5.15pm on Saturday March 8.
