Leeds United are gearing up to take on Norwich City in the Championship and are hoping to build on their recent 2-1 victory over Preston North End. The team’s impressive win over Preston has boosted their confidence as they prepare to face Daniel Farke’s former club. With their last meeting resulting in a comeback win, Leeds will be looking to replicate that success.
A win for Farke’s side would solidify their 4th place position in the Championship table and narrow the gap to Southampton to just one point. Automatic promotion is also within reach and Leeds is eager to maintain their momentum.
In terms of squad updates, Farke has confirmed that all players from the previous match against Preston are available for selection. However, Wilfried Gnonto may only be ready for the matchday squad. Unfortunately, Pascal Struijk will not be available as his recovery is taking longer than expected.
The predicted starting XI includes key players such as Meslier, Gray, Rodon, Ampadu, Firpo, Gruev, Kamara, James, Summerville, Rutter, and Bamford. The team’s recent success has been driven by players such as Summerville and James, who have both scored over 10 goals this season.
Facing an inconsistent Norwich City side and backed by their unbeaten home record, Leeds United will be focused on putting on a strong performance against their upcoming opponents.
