    Norwich City v Leeds Utd
    Saturday 21st October@15:00hrs | Carrow Road

    Daniel Farke returns to his old stomping ground for the first time in almost two years when Leeds Utd visit Carrow Road on Saturday afternoon.

    It will be 714 day since the German received his P45; yet he still holds a special place in the hearts of many Norwich fans, who remember the success he bought to East Anglia, under his tenure. Only two points and as many places separates the two teams, with a possible leap up to third place (for either team), being the reward for the winning team.

    Just to add fire to the furness, Adam Forshaw and Sam Byram return to play against their former clubs, and with Junior Firpo not yet match fit, (Byram) looks likely to start at left back. Stuart Dallas too, will have to watch from the sidelines, but has at least retuned back to full training with the squad, after recovering from the knock he recently picked up in training.

    Wilfred Gnonto has recovered from his broken ankle, and returned to Thorp Arch last weekend. He is expected to travel down to East Anglia, but having been sidelined for a month, may have to settle for a place on the bench, in favour of Jaidon Anthony.

    Djed Spence has tentatively recovered from his knee injury, but is a couple of weeks shy from first team football. Fit again Jamie Shackleton will challenge Luke Ayling for the No 2 shirt.

    The last time these two sides played, Leeds, ably assisted by Bielsa, completed the double (2-1 both times). That same season, the Canaries returned back to the Championship having only recorded 22 points during their entire 21/22 campaign.

    Leeds to win I don’t care if it’s 1-0 or 5-4 as long as we get 3 points

    If this game goes ahead on a soggy pitch i would fear for injuries.

    We pick up enough on non soggy pitches so not worth worrying anymore than usual about injuries.

    This is going to be Norwich’s cup final so going to be a tough ask, unless we can put away chances. Its also going to be a battle between German coaches

    So son in law sticks on Everton Liverpool and I concede defeat and watch 20 minutes. Rubbish game and non existent atmosphere. Referee then gives Liverpool game with a ridiculous Everton red card. Out to mow lawns before the proper footie comes on

    Proper footie is on other channel, PNE v Millwall. Currently 1-1 so 3rd spot could be reachable today <ok>

    2-1 Norwich today.

    They are a decent side and we miss too many chances.

    Awful game, I’ve switched off. They need to scrap the early games, they’re always like a dog with fleas, never seen a decent match in this time slot. It’s like it throws the players out of sync.
