Leeds United predicted line-up vs Norwich City with big changes and attacker's big chance | OneFootball

Leeds United host Norwich City in the FA Cup fifth round on Sunday, and a reshaped XI is on the cards with attacking returns likely.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Daniel Farke made eight changes for the third round at Derby County and six for the fourth round at Birmingham City, so another shuffle could follow.

This tie caps a demanding Elland Road run of three games in nine days after league defeats, 1-0 to Manchester City on Saturday evening and 1-0 to Sunderland on Tuesday night.

Farke reiterated that Premier League survival must take priority, Leeds are three points above the relegation zone with eight matches left, yet he also stressed motivation to reach the quarter-finals, a stage last reached in 2003.

He was optimistic of having everyone available except the injured Noah Okafor. In goal, Lucas Perri, who started both earlier rounds and excelled in the Birmingham shoot-out, looks likely to come back in for Karl Darlow.

Dan James has not started since his hamstring lay-off and could return at right wing-back, with Willy Gnonto in a similar position to start on the left.

With centre-backs fit again, Jaka Bijol appears highly likely to start, Sebastiaan Bornauw looks another strong contender, and James Justin may complete a back three that helped turn fortunes in November.

Leeds then have a full week off before returning to league action at Crystal Palace the following Sunday afternoon.
