With Leeds United's momentum after their good start to the 2022/23 Premier League campaign being halted due to back-to-back postponements, it'll be no surprise that they'll be sliding down the table while other sides get ahead of them.
Due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the Whites ' match against Nottingham Forest was postponed along with the rest of the English top-flight but they've now become one of six teams that'll go into the October international break having only played six games.
Their match against Manchester United, which was scheduled for this weekend, was postponed due to the strain it would put on the police force who are working the Queen's funeral on Monday.

The postponements mean Leeds currently sit in eleventh with three teams below them also sitting on six games, those being Crystal Palace, Everton and West Ham.
Palace will have to reschedule their derby match against Brighton after a planned industrial strike meant Palace fans would be unable to take the trains to Falmer Station, a few minutes away from the Amex Stadium and the game was postponed after conversations with local safety advisory groups and the Premier League.
Everton and West Ham play each other this weekend at 14:15 on Sunday, but since both are on four points each and just above the relegation zone, neither would be able to move above the Whites before the international break.
Today's game between Newcastle United and Bournemouth moved the Magpies above the Whites after a 1-1 draw at St. James' Park, while yesterday's match between Aston Villa and Southampton saw Steven Gerrard's squad move within a point of Jesse Marsch's men before their match in October.
Fulham jumped up to sixth following their 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest after scoring three goals in a six-minute span to break away from the Whites in the table.
