Leeds United and Norwich City lock horns at Elland Road in round 28 of the EFL Championship on Wednesday. Daniel Farke’s men head into the midweek clash unbeaten in their last seven games against the Canaries and will be looking to extend this impressive streak.
Leeds United turned in another performance of the highest quality as they cruised to a 3-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday when the sides squared off at Elland Road last Sunday.
Farke’s side have now gone 10 back-to-back games without defeat across all competitions, picking up seven wins and three draws — a run which has seen them reach the FA Cup fourth round courtesy of a 1-0 victory over Harrogate Town on January 11.
Leeds United have picked up 56 points from their 27 Championship matches to lead the way at the top of the league standings, one point above second-placed Sheffield United.
Norwich City, on the other hand, failed to return to winning ways at the weekend as they fell to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of title-chasing Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.
Before that, the Canaries saw their four-game unbeaten run come to an end on January 11 when they suffered a 4-0 hammering against Brighton and Hove Albion in the FA Cup third round.
Norwich City have picked up 36 points from their 27 Championship matches so far to sit 11th in the table but could move into ninth place with a win on Wednesday.
