Preston North End fixture changes have been revealed as Leeds United and Sunderland’s holiday plans have changed.
Sky Sports has chosen to cover two of Preston North End’s festive fixtures, resulting in a change in the fixture schedule.
Preston North End’s festive fixtures against Leeds United and Sunderland have both been rescheduled.
The fixture between North End and Leeds United at Deepdale on Boxing Day has been changed slightly. Sky Sports has decided to broadcast the game, so it will now begin at 12.30pm rather than the original 3.00pm time slot.
The same is true for the New Year’s Day match against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. PNE play Sheffield Wednesday at home on Friday, December 29th, in between the two televised games. Ryan Lowe’s team has four games in 11 days.
At the time of writing, Leeds are third, while the Black Cats are eighth. PNE will be aiming for their first league win over Leeds in five years, as well as a league double over Sunderland, whom they defeated 2-1 in August thanks to goals from Will Keane and Mads Frokjaer.
The Lilywhites have appeared on Sky Sports several times this season, including their Lancashire Derby against Blackburn Rovers on Friday night. Their game against QPR on Friday, December 1 will also be broadcast on television.
