A late decision was made to broadcast this game as Arsenal, who were due to face rivals Tottenham that afternoon on Sky, are now involved in the Carling Cup final the following day.
Announcing the game the official Swans website reported: "Swansea City are delighted that this fixture was chosen above any other in the Championship and on the back of excellent ticket sales already. And with Leeds set to pack out the North Stand we're hopeful that Sky will be able to sample a rocking and passionate atmosphere at the Liberty Stadium that afternoon."
