A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to the news that their match with Fulham has been selected for live coverage by Sky Sports.
Leeds confirmed in a statement that the match would take place on 18th March with a 7.45pm kick-off.
Do you believe that Sky just want to watch Leeds fail?
Yes, they love it
No, they just think it will be a good fixture
This will be the Whites’ fifth televised fixture throughout February and March with the matches against Middlesbrough, Nottingham Forest, Brentford and Hull City, also chosen for broadcast by Sky Sports.
This latest TV fixture has not gone down too well with many Leeds fans who think that their matches are only picked to watch them lose.
? Next month's clash between #LUFC and Fulham becomes the latest to be selected for Sky Sports

What do we think?
With Fulham just three points behind Leeds, this could be a huge fixture to decide who is automatically promoted and who will have to battle through the play-offs.
However, there is a lot of football to be played before both sides meet with Leeds facing other promotion hopefuls in Brentford and Forest, while Fulham face Swansea City and Bristol City amongst others in the coming weeks.
