Leeds United will entertain Norwich City at Elland Road this Saturday as they look to secure a good result at home in the FA Cup. The Whites suffered a tough 1-0 defeat at the hands of Sunderland recently, so they will be eager to bounce back by putting in a good showing this weekend.
Daniel Farke will set his men up in a 3-5-1-1 formation and is expected to keep changes to a minimum for this game. Hence, Dominic Calvert-Lewin will lead the charge for the Yorkshire club up top.
3-5-1-1 Leeds United Predicted Lineup To Face Norwich City
Defence
Karl Darlow will operate in between the sticks for the Whites after he conceded one goal in his last outing. Joe Rodon, Pascal Struijk and James Justin will make up Leeds‘ back three as they look to keep the opposition attackers frustrated throughout the 90 minutes.
Jaka Bijol will provide cover for the centre-back positions on the bench.
Midfield
Ilia Gruev, Anton Stach and Ethan Ampadu will function as Farke’s central midfielders as they look to dictate the tempo of the game at the centre of the park. All three of them will have to find a way to feed some decent passes to their teammates up top.
Gabriel Gudmundsson will try to prove his worth as the left-sided wide player, while Jayden Bogle hopes to catch the eye on the right flank. Both of them will have to make some runs in behind the opponent’s backline if the Whites are to earn a convincing win this weekend.
Brenden Aaronson will operate in the number ten position. He has to carry most of the creative burden for the Yorkshire outfit in the final third.
Daniel James and Wilfried Gnonto will make up the numbers on the bench as they wait for their chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if required.
Attack
Dominic Calvert-Lewin will spearhead Leeds’ attack up top. He has to find a way to be a real threat on the offensive end of the field.
Joel Piroe and Lukas Nmecha will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if the Whites are in need of a goal by then.
