Leicester fans voiced their anger at the late change of date for their trip to Arsenal on Saturday.

Ahead of the Premier League game with Stoke, fans held up banners to oppose the switch of their fixture from Saturday 13 to Sunday 14 for TV scheduling.

The top of the table clash between Leicester and Arsenal was due to take place at the traditional kick-off time of Saturday at 3pm.

But in order to be broadcast on Sky Sports, it was moved to Sunday 12pm, angering supporters of both clubs.

Leicester fans held up a banner reading: "$ky... 23 days is no notice.

And another reading: "Saturday 3pm."

Sky have come under fire for moving fixtures at short notice, perhaps most notably from Championship side Leeds United, who refused their cameras entry to a recent match, before eventually relenting.

The broadcaster has added eight fresh fixtures to its schedule, including the Manchester derby at the Etihad, which will now take place on March 20 at 4pm.

Sky say Leicester's unlikely title challenge is the reason for the decision to screen the match, but it has enraged a section of the Londoners' support.

A Premier League statement said: "We always seek to give fans a minimum of six weeks' notice of any fixture changes. It is only on extremely rare occasions we don't meet that aspiration during the normal course of the season.

"We are currently in discussions with Arsenal and Leicester City to see what can be done to help fans affected by this scheduling change."
