Extended Premier League break could help Leeds United but won't come without challenges

Leeds United are in a state of limbo as they wait to hear when their next Premier League outing will be. The Whites were due to play Nottingham Forest on Monday, but the decision was made to postpone the contest following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

The move was made as a mark of respect for the Queen, who passed away at the age of 96 on Thursday, but there is also uncertainty surrounding United’s next game, which is scheduled to be played on Sunday, September 18, against Manchester United at Old Trafford. It seems there is a chance the match could be impacted by the state funeral and if that were to be the case, the game could be postponed and played at a later date.

With an international break scheduled for later this month, Leeds’ next game would be on October 2 against Aston Villa at Elland Road, a full month on from their last outing at Brentford. Would having a month away from the action be that bad, though?
