When Leeds United lost 5-2 to Brentford at the start of September, Jesse Marsch's side would have hoped to have been able to bounce back a week later against Nottingham Forest.
However, the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II has meant their game against Forest, as well as their following game against Manchester United have both been postponed.
As a result, Leeds next Premier League clash will see them face off against Aston Villa on October 2, nearly a month after they faced off against Brentford.

Steven Gerrard's side have not enjoyed the best of starts to the new Premier League season, but did manage to pick up a morale boosting point in their last outing against Manchester City.
Before they face Leeds, Villa play Southampton. Should they lose that game against the Saints, then Gerrard could be in real trouble.
Here's how Villa's squad are currently shaping up on the injury front ahead of Leeds' next competitive fixture...
Matty Cash
The full-back was recently left out of Poland's squad for their September Nations League fixtures against the Netherlands and Wales after picking up a hamstring injury against Man City.
Cash recently wrote on twitter: "Due to an injury, I will not take part in the September grouping of the Polish national team. The rehabilitation is going well, but I will not be able to heal for the next matches. Good luck to the team and I will keep my fingers crossed for the boys."
While he will likely miss the game against Southampton, Cash could be back to face Leeds on October 2.
Emiliano Martinez
Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has been a recent injury concern for Villa ahead of their clash against Southampton after picking up an illness.
However, given the distance in time between the game with Southampton and their tie against Leeds, you would expect the Argentine shot stopper to be between the sticks when Jesse Marsch and co take on Villa.
Ollie Watkins
Similar to Martinez, Watkins has also been unwell. He could miss the game against Southampton, but should be fit to face Leeds in October.
Robin Olsen
Goalkeeper Robin Olsen has been "nursing a knee injury" according to Villa boss Steven Gerrard. The likelihood is he won't feature against Leeds due to Martinez starting ahead of him.
Jed Steer
Another goalkeeper with an injury is Jed Steer. Steer suffered a nasty achilles injury back in March and is currently undergoing rehab.
Diego Carlos
Brazilian defender Diego Carlos was a huge summer signing for Villa but now looks set to miss the majority of their Premier League campaign after he ruptured his achilles at the start of the season. Carlos has surgery last month and is currently undergoing rehab.
Leander Dendoncker
Recently signed from Wolves, Leander Dendoncker missed Villa's clash with Manchester City due to having tonsillitis. Expect the Belgian to at least feature on the bench for Gerrard's side when Villa take on Leeds.
