Leeds United could find themselves sitting precariously above the relegation zone by the time they next take to the field. The Whites have seen two matches postponed in the wake of the Queen’s passing, with games against Nottingham Forest and Manchester United needing to be rearranged for later in the season.
The home clash against Forest was postponed by the Premier League as a mark of respect as a period of national mourning began, while the trip to Old Trafford was cancelled on Monday night due to policing issues ahead of the state funeral, which will take place in the capital on September 19.
That means Leeds will have to wait until October 2 before playing again, with Jesse Marsch no doubt keen to make the most of a month on the training ground with his side. However, 15 Premier League games will be played before United take on Aston Villa at Elland Road, a contest that has been moved to a Sunday in order to be broadcast on Sky Sports.
