Leeds United predicted line-up for FA Cup clash vs Norwich City with major changes and attacker's huge chance

How we think Leeds United will line-up for Sunday’s fifth round FA Cup clash at home to Norwich City.

Leeds United face Championship visitors Norwich City on Sunday in the FA Cup fifth round - and this is how we think the Whites will line up.

Boss Daniel Farke made eight changes to his team for the third round clash at Derby County and then six alterations to his side for the fourth round trip to Birmingham City.

Sunday’s visit of Norwich now arrives at the end of a busy week as the third and final instalment of three games at Elland Road in the space of nine days following Saturday evening’s 1-0 defeat to Manchester City and Tuesday night’s 1-0 reverse to Sunderland - both in the league.

Farke again reiterated at Friday’s pre-match press conference that the battle for Premier League survival clearly had to take priority, Leeds now just three points clear of the relegation zone with eight games left.

But Farke also declared that his men would be highly motivated to book a place in the competition’s quarter-finals, the club having not made the last eight of the FA Cup since way back in 2003.

Leeds also have a full week off after Sunday’s contest ahead of their return to Premier League action at Crystal Palace the following Sunday afternoon.

As ever, the team that Farke sends out is likely to be something of a balancing act but the Whites boss was optimistic of having every player available to pick from apart from sole injury Noah Okafor and this is the XI that we think he will send out against the Canaries.
