Leeds United are still awaiting confirmation on when their matches with Manchester United and Nottingham Forest will be played after their postponements in September. The two games were called off as a result of Queen Elizabeth's death but due to the congested nature of the season, a new date has not yet been given by the Premier League.
Leeds' return fixtures with those two sides were moved for TV on Monday, with the trip to Forest set to be shown live on Sky Sports on Sunday 5 February, while the Elland Road clash against the Red Devils will also be screened by the same broadcaster seven days later.
That also means other than the New Year's Eve trip to Newcastle United, the Whites do not have a Saturday 3pm fixture until February 18 away at Everton, with matches in January all having been moved. The aforementioned two games are also likely to be a midweek, though even that could prove tricky to reschedule.

The clash with Man United at Old Trafford could particularly prove a nightmare to organise, as their failure to win their Europa League group means there is no natural space in the calendar for rearrangement. Had they have pipped Real Sociedad to top spot, that would've opened up two midweeks in February but instead they will face a two-legged tie with Barcelona.
As it stands, they remain in both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, too, and it is likely to take an elimination from either one of those, or the Europa League, to free up some space.
