“Norwich began brightly however then quickly sunk again into their form and appeared to simply accept {that a} goalless draw was sufficient for them, whereas Leeds by no means fairly dedicated sufficient to win the tie.

“Undoubtedly it’s Leeds which have the advantaged going into the second leg. Win at dwelling, in entrance of their crowd at Elland Street, and they’re at Wembley. However they are going to be nicely conscious that they misplaced their final two video games at dwelling of the season, and that Norwich will come to take a seat deep, soak it up and try to tear into them on the counter-attack.

Will Daniel Farke change issues up and convey Joel Piroe or Dan James into his facet? Or persist with the facet he trusted within the first leg?
