Leeds vs Barnsley, Thursday July 16, Sky Sports, 5pm BST
Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds side are top of the table and can take themselves to within a hair's breadth of the title with a win over Barnsley this evening. Three points would take them five clear of second-placed West Brom with two matches remaining, meaning a draw in their next assignment would do it. It's been a long, weary slog for Leeds United supporters since they were relegated from the top-flight at the end of 2003/04 camapaign. It's almost time to return to the promised land!
Barnsley have a very different concern on their hands - namely, staying in the division. The Tykes are bottom of the Championship, four points from safety and haven't won for three matches. It's sink or swim time for Gerhard Stuber's side.
Kick-off is at 5pm BST and the game is being shown on Sky Sports Football in the UK. See below for watching details where you are.
Use a VPN to watch Leeds vs Barnsley live stream from outside your country
If you’re on holiday or just simply out of the country, your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows exactly where you are from your IP address. Your access to the game will be automatically blocked, which is annoying if you’ve paid a subscription fee and don't want to use an illegal, buffering stream that makes you miss another Bruno Fernandes masterclass. And that's where we recommend ExpressVPN (more on which below).
All you need to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to get beyond such aggravations (assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs). A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, meaning suppliers can’t work out where you are and what you’re doing. The info going to and from is entirely encrypted.
