Is Leicester vs Leeds on TV today? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture


Leeds United travel to Leicester City for an intriguing Premier League clash on Sunday. Leeds got back to winning ways last time out, seeing off Newcastle United, and they are in 12th place after a typically erratic run of results and performances. Given it’s their first season returning to the Premier League and the number of players they have who were Championship regulars, a mid-table finish would represent a superb first campaign back.

Leicester have something more to aim for, sitting in third place and well-positioned to finish the job they went close to doing last year. A dramatic fall-off post-lockdown saw Brendan Rodgers’ team miss out on Champions League football for 2020/21, but this term they look determined to go all the way and seal a top-four finish at the very least.

This might be their biggest challenge though: a run of games they must keep showing consistency in, without leading scorer Jamie Vardy.

It will be the likes of James Maddison and Harvey Barnes who have to step up instead for chance creation and scoring, with a title still on the line to fight for too, given the inconsistency shown by several teams this season.
