Pundits include Micah Richards, the charismatic ex-Manchester City and Aston Villa defender turned ITV and BBC favourite known for his infectious enthusiasm and tactical breakdowns, and Stuart Dallas, the versatile Leeds stalwart who played over 200 games for the Whites before injury setbacks. Reporters Johnny Phillips, Juliette Ferrington, Vinny O’Connor and Peter Stevenson will deliver pitch-side updates from Sky Sports News.

Over on BBC Radio Manchester, Mark Crossley (doubling as presenter) and former City midfielder Paul Lake, a Manchester academy product with over 200 senior appearances, analyse the action.

Leeds supporters can tune into LUTV for club-exclusive coverage with commentator Bryn Law, co-commentator Tony Dorigo—the ex-Leeds left-back who featured in the 1992 title win—and pundits Michael Bridges, scorer of 52 goals in 161 Leeds games, and South African icon Lucas Radebe, captain during the 1992 triumph and over 300 appearances for the club.
