Between them, the leakiest defences in the top flight, have conceded 125 times so far this season, though goals may be harder to come by on Sunday. Both sides have had issues finding the back of the net. Dean Smith's men have netted just 17 times, with Teemu Pukki responsible for half of them. Raphinha is Leeds leading scorer with 8 out of their 29 goals scored Leeds have lost six on the trot, conceding 21 times, and scoring twice in reply. They are six points clear of the Canaries, who are bottom of the top flight. Dean Smith's side only fair a point better. Norwich have the second-worst away record in the Premier League this season, picking up just eight points from 13 matches Leeds will be without the services of Liam Cooper, Kalvin Phillips, Leo Hjelde, Tyler Roberts and Junior Firpo. In Firpo's absence, Stuart Dallas is expected to adopt his familiar left back duties. It was hoped that Phillips would have been fit to take the bench midweek against Villa, but Marsch didn't want to risk it. It remains to be seen whether we'll see the England International on Sunday. Patrick Bamford is set to enjoy more game time at the weekend, having played 30 minutes midweek. Canaries duo Adam Idah and Andrew Omobamidele will miss out through injury, though Billy Gilmour will be available for selection after missing the 3-1 defeat against Chelsea midweek. Max Aarons and Brandon Williams are set to feature at full-back. Gilmour and Rashica are likely to start, with Pierre Lees Melou and Christoph Zimmermann dropping to the bench.
Personally, I feel that Struijk has been poor lately. I'd play Llorente and Koch at centre back, and obviously Dallas on the left. I think its important that we have two forwards playing. Two from Gelhardt, Bamford and Rodrigo.
Agree @ellandback. Struijk has been a shining light this year but his last few games have been poor. He's still a kid and it seems the pressure has got to him a bit. Needs taking out of the firing line for a few games.
If we can't beat Norwich, we don't deserve to be in the Premier league They're probably saying that about us though
Just listened to some of Jesses pre Norwich presser he is obviously on the back foot and rather nervous, proberbly just realising what he has taken on He should worry he’s got a stupidly long contract wonder who’s idea that was Mr Orta
