It means for the third successive season the fixture is being screened. Although it will be United's second fixture in four days following their home match with Everton on Tuesday, April 13.
The Arsenal game had been scheduled for Saturday, April 17, but with The Gunners likely to be on the verge of the Premiership title and Leeds battling for survival, the match has been brought forward to accommodate Sky TV.
Leeds will be hoping it proves a lucky omen as they won 3-2 last May, a result which secured their top-flight status, while in August 2001, they won 2-1.
