The Leyton vs Tottenham match in the third round of the Premier League Cup was supposed to be held on Wednesday (23/9/2020) yesterday. But the match had to be postponed after a number of Leyton players were infected with the Corona virus.

BBC reported 17 people who tested positive for Leyton. The test itself can be carried out by the fourth division club with financial assistance from Tottenham.
“According to the rules Premier League Cup, Tottenham Hotspur has been given a bye and will next play against Chelsea on Tuesday, 29 September, “said the official EFL statement as reported BBC.

“Everyone at Tottenham Hotspur sends their best wishes to Leyton Orient, for the health and safety of the players and their staff, their families and all those affected during this period,” said a Tottenham Hotspur statement.
