Sky Sports to broadcast Leeds United special at peak time on Monday night
Missing football? Missing Leeds United? Sky Sports are set to fill a hole tonight as they broadcast the full Arsenal v Leeds match from 2003 in their peak Monday night slot.

Arsenal needed to win to keep their dreams of a double alive. Leeds needed to win to ensure they stayed in the Premier League.

Harry Kewell was more of a popular figure at Leeds back in 2003. He scored the first goal of the game after just five minutes before Thierry Henry made it 1-1 at half-time.
Leeds were never behind though, in a scintillating game.
Ian Harte restored their lead early in the second half and while Dennis Bergkamp equalised in the 70th minute, Mark Viduka struck an arrow through the hearts of Arsenal fans in the 88th minute.
It meant that Leeds were safe and the only downside was that it handed the title to Man United.
