United's Easter Monday trip to St James Park to face current Championship leaders Newcastle will now be shown live on Sky Sports.

The fixture, which was pencilled in for a 3pm kick-off, will now start at 7.45pm in the North-East.

In the corresponding game at Bramall Lane in November, a deflected Kevin Nolan effort proved to be the difference between the sides, although Magpies goalkeeper Steve Harper had to be at his best to deny United a share of the spoils late on.
