Bristol City’s Championship match with Sheffield United has been chosen for Sky Sports television coverage and as a result, the kick-off has been changed to accomodate it.

The Robins had been due to host the Blades at Ashton Gate on Tuesday, November 1 and now their fixture will be shown by the leagues broadcaster.

No change of date has been made but the match will now kick off 15 minutes later than initially scheduled, which will make for a later departure from Ashton Gate.

It is the second City match to be shown for television coverage after the Severnside Derby win over Cardiff City in mid-August was shown to a television audience.

City’s match would have been available on the Robins TV platform but will now be available at no extra cost for supporters who have a Sky Sports subscription package.

It will be their penultimate home match before a three-week break of league action, owing to the winter World Cup.

There has been one alteration to City’s fixtures which was communicated earlier this month and that was the change in kick-off time for their match with Swansea City.

As per the request of Avon & Somerset Police, the match will now be played at the earlier time of 12pm on Saturday, October 29.

A new date has yet to be rearranged for their match with Preston North End after it was postponed following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
