The derby match between Aston Villa and Birmingham City will not be broadcast on live television.

The EFL has today announced the next set of fixtures to be broadcast by Sky Sports - and the clash at Villa Park on Sunday, April 23 is not one of them.

Instead the broadcaster is focusing on the promotion race with Brighton’s trip to Norwich has been moved to Friday, April 21 and Newcastle’s home game with Preston rescheduled for Monday, April 24.

That leaves Villa-Blues to play out at Villa Park on Sunday, April 23, in a 12pm kick-off.

The first game at St Andrew’s was the first league meeting at the venue for five years and broadcast live. It ended in a 1-1 draw with David Davis’ equaliser cancelling out Gary Gardner’s opener.
