The DAZN network will also offer live updates on the Norwich vs Leeds Utd game. In their game before the international break, Norwich settled for a 1-1 draw against Coventry City at CBS Arena.
The game saw Coventry level the score with Ben Gibson’s own goal after Jonathan Rowe initially put Norwich ahead.
Daniel Farke returns to Norwich
I haven’t thought too much about it. You prepare for a normal game, it was some time ago since I was there. There is some players there but they play a different way. It’s more or less normal stuff, I haven’t thought about my situation.
Daniel Farke – Leeds manager
Currently, under David Wagner’s leadership, Norwich are positioned seventh, just a point shy of the play-off spots.
Leeds, on the other hand, are celebrating consecutive wins after defeating Bristol City 2-1 at Elland Road. A key moment was when Dan James scored in the 37th minute, assisted by Georginio Rutter.
Bristol managed to level the score shortly before halftime with Kal Naismith’s header. Leeds regained control in the second half, securing the win with Joel Piroe’s goal.
Interestingly, Daniel Farke’s Leeds are in fifth place, trailing Ipswich Town by nine points and league leaders Leicester City by 11 points.
This match will mark a significant return for Farke, the two-time Championship winner with Norwich, as he steps into Carrow Road for the first time since his departure in 2021.
Norwich past performances
Norwich will be playing without Josh Sargent, recovering from ankle surgery, and Ashley Barnes, who’s nursing a knee injury.
But they might see the return of midfielders Jacob Sorensen and Marcelino Nunez. Meanwhile, Borja Sainz’s participation remains uncertain due to an ankle injury, and Grant Hanley is out with an Achilles issue.
Leeds Utd form
Leeds have their own set of challenges with several players, including Wilfried Gnonto, Djed Spence, Junior Firpo, and Stuart Dallas, unavailable. Farke hopes that his players returning from international commitments are fit and ready.
