Derby County’s opening home game of the 2018/19 Sky Bet Championship season against Leeds United has been selected for live television coverage on Sky Sports.


Frank Lampard’s first competitive fixture in charge of the Rams at Pride Park Stadium will still take place on Saturday 11th August, but with a revised kick-off time of 5:30pm.

The clash will see Lampard go head-to-head with Marcelo Bielsa, who was appointed as Leeds’ new manager earlier this month.

Derby and Leeds shared seven goals between them last season, with Sam Winnall’s late double securing all three points in a 2-1 victory at Elland Road, before Kasey Palmer struck in stoppage time to snatch a point for the Rams in a 2-2 draw at Pride Park.
