[size=150]Hi Folks
Leeds welcome the Canaries to Elland Road on Saturday as first play second in the Championship in an early evening kick off.
Leeds have been in disappointing form of late winning and losing twice since the turn of the year. Norwich remain undefeated in the league in 2019 having drawn three, and winning against Birmingham.
Both teams have a similar record of being a lot better in the second half than the opening 45 mins, especially in the last 10 minutes of the match where Norwich pip Leeds.
Dallas and Berardi have suffered respective set backs and will be sidelined for six and two weeks respectively.
Douglas and Brown got some more valuable game time for the U23's on Monday but are not expected to feature this weekend.
Bamford is back in training, but not expected to take part in first team action for a while, not helped by the fact there's a two week break until the next U23 game!
Pablo Hernandez is a doubt after being taken off with a thigh strain at Rotherham.
Jansson is available after his one match ban, allowing Phillips to return to his regular defensive midfield role.
Norwich have their injury concerns too. Carlton Morris and Louis Thompson have both been recently ruled out for the remainder of the season whilst Moritz Leitner, Alex Tettey and Timm Klose are also on the injury list.
Will Leeds stretch their lead to six points, or will Norwich close the gap?

Hi Folks
Being out of contract with sky TV I hope the YouTube guy turns the music down this Saturday.

I think Leeds will win this game 1-0 , but a draw wouldn't be a bad result as Norwich will not have gained any points on us....where as a loss here and we are back in the pack of 4 as West brom got a game in hand and Sheffield Utd play Bolton , this is the game that we make a statement and start to consolidate our Top 2 .
I'm more confident with our defence returning to full strength , but i would go with Shackelton over Ayling and Clarke coming of the bench .
If we take 4 Points in the next 2 games we are on track with my Predictions , a loss and the pressure starts to mount.

THe commentators were very pro Rotherham and their praise
definitely got him right up the ying yang so he drowned it out
with the music. It was horrible stuff, but I would listen to it until
it turned my brain to train oil, if it meant that Leeds would
win every game until the end of the season.

Yeah I heard their drivel in the first half. Pity we were spared their whining once we took control of the game... Here's hoping he doesn't reduce the screen size like he did second half too.
On another note weather looks freezing in Leeds over the weekend.
We do have undersoil heating at EL dont we

Need to win this one so I’m really surprised (but there’s still time) the EFL haven’t done something to disrupt our preparation something like hold an inquest into Spygate well let’s see maybe Saturday at 5.30 in Manchester and insist Bielsa and his coaching team attend

Just a thought what are Quest going to do on their highlights show they love to present Norwich first and talk about them for ages but hate showing Leeds first and talking about them at all

That may change when the canaries have been feathered & plucked
Thing is, like Liverpool last night, it is a chance to really open it up at the top of the table.
I think if we didnt take the chance and go for it we may regret it.
It isnt as if Norwich are in sparkling form either
My my my, such a lot of guns around town and so few brains
Norwich City have signed left-sided defender Phil Heise from German second division side Dynamo Dresden on a three-and-a-half year contract on a undisclosed fee.
