Leeds United are in excellent form as they head into two away games this week, starting with a visit to Norwich City. Their recent 3-0 victory over Coventry City showcased their dominance, with goals from Wilfried Gnonto, Jayden Bogle, and Joel Piroe. The Whites have been strong defensively, keeping five clean sheets in their last six matches, with their only goal conceded against Burnley.
Norwich City, on the other hand, are also in good form, sitting 6th in the Championship table with 14 points. They will be looking to continue their recent run of three wins in the last four games. Leeds United will be facing a tough challenge against the Canaries, especially with injuries impacting their squad. Ethan Ampadu is facing a serious knee injury and will be out for at least 10 weeks, joining Dan James and Max Wober on the treatment table. New signing Isaac Schmidt will also miss out due to glute problems.
In terms of the predicted starting XI for Leeds United, manager Daniel Farke will have to make adjustments due to injuries. With Ampadu out, Ao Tanaka is likely to be promoted to the starting line-up alongside Ilia Gruev in midfield. The attacking four of Largie Ramazani, Brenden Aaronson, Wilfried Gnonto, and Mateo Joseph are expected to remain unchanged. Leeds fans will be hoping that their depth will be enough to handle the upcoming fixtures without further injuries in a crucial period of the season.
Despite the setbacks with injuries, Leeds United will be looking to maintain their strong form and secure positive results in their upcoming away matches. Facing Norwich City tonight and Sunderland later in the week will test their depth and resilience, but the Whites will be determined to continue their push up the Championship table. With key players stepping up in the absence of injured stars, Leeds will be hoping to continue their impressive defensive record and clinical attacking play to secure valuable points on the road.
