WAYNE Rooney and Jamie Vardy are set to go head to head again after Birmingham versus Leicester was picked for live TV coverage by Sky Sports.
The Championship match has been rescheduled, with fans joking that the "Wagatha Christie derby is on".
Rooney and Vardy will face off for the first time since their wives' libel case last year.
The trial was dubbed "Wagatha Christie" after Coleen Rooney accused Rebekah Vardy of leaking posts from her private Instagram account.
Rooney and Vardy's clash on the football pitch will now be shown live by Sky Sports.
Birmingham confirmed that the broadcaster has selected the fixture and moved it to an 8pm kick-off on Monday December 18.
