Three changes to the team – Leeds United predicted eleven against Norwich City

Leeds United are second in the Championship table but a win at home over Norwich City tonight will take them back to the top of the standings. The Whites are one of the top favourites for automatic promotion to the Premier League and have been one of the consistent teams this season. Leeds suffered heartbreak in the playoff final last season and they are keen to ensure that they finish in the top two to guarantee promotion this time around. Their home record makes them favourites against the Canaries tonight. However, Farke could be forced to make a few changes to the starting eleven tonight.

The race for automatic promotion is turning out to be one of the tightest of recent seasons. Leeds, Sheffield United, Burnley and Sunderland seem to be fighting for the top two spots.

Leeds would love to avoid the playoffs as last season’s heartbreak is still fresh in their memories and they are pushing to finish in the top two and earn automatic promotion.

The Whites are preparing to take on Norwich and it is unlikely to be a straightforward game. The Canaries are 12th in the league table and are just six points off the playoff spots.

Farke loves consistency in selection but there is a chance that we could see as many as three changes from the team that beat Sheffield Wednesday 3-0 on Sunday.

Leeds United could see a change in left-back but the midfield pair will remain the same

Pascal Struijk’s injury has meant that Leeds have been forced to bring in a change to their defence last weekend while they wait on further assessments on the Dutchman.

Ethan Ampadu is still considered a defensive midfielder but will continue to partner Joe Rodon at the heart of the Leeds defence. He is such a quality player at the Championship level, his talent can ride over playing out of position.

Jayden Bogle has emerged as one of the most important players in the Leeds squad this season and will again start at right-back for the Yorkshire giants tonight.

Sam Byram could be rested tonight and it will allow Farke to re-introduce Junior Firpo to the starting eleven following his return from a hamstring injury.

Ao Tanaka was again top-class against Sheffield Wednesday and capped off the performance with a goal in the 3-0 win in the Yorkshire derby at Elland Road. He will keep his place in the team and continue to partner Joe Rothwell in the middle of the park.

Largie Ramazani and Wilfried Gnonto get an opportunity to start

Farke has revealed that Manor Solomon and Brenden Aaronson are doubtful for the game against Norwich City tonight at Elland Road.

Solomon is struggling with a hamstring problem while Aaronson has picked up a knock. Leeds are more optimistic about the United States international starting against the Canaries.

However, Farke would prefer not to take any risks with two pivotal players and it could pave the way for two squad players to get starting eleven berths.

Largie Ramazani made a massive impact after coming on against Sheffield Wednesday and scored and assisted in Leeds’ 3-0 win at Elland Road.

With Solomon struggling with a hamstring issue, the Belgian has a good chance of starting as the left-winger in the starting eleven tonight against Norwich.

If Aaronson doesn’t recover in time, it could pave the way for Wilfried Gnonto to get into the team and play a more central role, which Farke hinted at earlier in the season.

This could be a brilliant chance for Ramazani and Gnonto to stake a claim for more starts and give Farke selection headaches with their performance against Norwich.

The predicted XI against Norwich City: Meslier, Bogle, Rodon, Ampadu, Firpo, Rothwell, Tanaka, Ramazani, Gnonto, James, Piroe
