Leeds United take another break from their Premier League survival bid with Sunday’s FA Cup clash at home to Norwich City - for which blows have left a staggering 15 players either out or doubtful but with two others back.
Sunday’s 4.30pm kick-off at Elland Road will end a busy week for Daniel Farke’s Whites following Saturday evening’s 1-0 defeat at home to Manchester City and Tuesday night’s loss by the same score to Sunderland.
A very different test now awaits in the last 16 of the FA Cup against a side sat 17th in the Championship table, 11 points clear of the dropzone and 12 points off the play-off places.
Norwich, though, under boss Philippe Clement are much higher in the Championship form table having won ten of their last 15 league games.
A first test of the season against Premier League now awaits against Farke’s Whites but amazing 15 players are now either out or doubtful as the Whites and Canaries face off a place in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
