Fixture: Norwich City vs Leeds United
Competition: Championship
Kick-off: 19:45 UK time
Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has announced his team to face Norwich City at Carrow Road this evening in a crucial Championship clash. The Whites enter the match with momentum, having secured two consecutive victories against Cardiff City and Coventry City. However, Norwich presents a tougher test under new manager Johannes Hoff Throup, who has guided his team to back-to-back wins, netting seven goals against Watford and Derby County.
Leeds United will be without key player Ethan Ampadu due to an injury that could see him sidelined for an extended period. Despite this setback, Leeds are still regarded as favourites to take all three points. Goalkeeper Illan Meslier leads the defensive line consisting of Jayden Bogle, Pascal Struijk, Joe Rodon, and Junior Firpo. In midfield, Ilia Gruev and Ao Tanaka will look to control the game, supported by Brenden Aaronson, Largie Ramazani, and Willy Gnonto, who will aid striker Mateo Joseph.
Farke has solid options available on the bench, including Joel Piroe and Joe Gelhardt, should he need to make tactical changes during the match.
Leeds United Starting XI: Meslier, Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Firpo, Gruev, Tanaka, Aaronson, Ramazani, Gnonto, Joseph
Substitutes: Darlow, Byram, Debayo, Crew, Rothwell, Bamford, Chambers, Gelhardt, Piroe
