How Leeds United's upcoming fixtures will be impacted by new coronavirus tiers

Today's confirmation that the city of Leeds will be placed into the strictest coronavirus tier means that Leeds United fans must continue to wait for their Elland Road return.

The Tier 3 restrictions mean that Leeds are one of ten Premier League clubs unable to readmit supporters until they see an easing of restrictions in their area.

The six London sides, both of the Merseyside teams and south coast sides Brighton and Southampton are all in Tier 2, so will be permitted to allow 2,000 fans into their stadiums when the national lockdown ends next week.

Leeds' trip to Goodison Park this weekend comes before the re-introduction of the Tier system, meaning no fans will be present, but Chelsea now have the green light to allow 2,000 fans into Stamford Bridge on December 5.

Leeds then face a run of five fixtures which are set to be played behind-closed-doors, unless any Tiers change upon the next review, which is scheduled for December 16.

Below is a look at Leeds' upcoming fixtures and how today's announcement impacts them in terms of fans.

Leeds United's upcoming fixtures and how many fans are permitted (under current restriction levels):

Nov 28: Everton vs Leeds - no fans

Dec 5: Chelsea vs Leeds - 2,000 fans allowed

Dec 12: Leeds vs West Ham - no fans

Dec 15: Leeds vs Newcastle - no fans

Dec 19: Manchester United vs Leeds - no fans

Dec 26: Leeds vs Burnley - no fans

Dec 28: West Brom vs Leeds - no fans

Jan 2: Tottenham vs Leeds - 2,000 fans allowed
