Leeds preview: Trying to stay at the top
With nine games in a row without a loss in the league and 56 points from 27 matches overall, Leeds are having a great season and they are currently at the top of the Championship standings. That being said, Sunderland in fourth are just five points behind, so Leeds will have to keep their good form going if they want to secure direct promotion to the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Pascal Struijk and Patrick Bamford will miss this match through injuries.
Predicted lineup: Meslier (GK), Bogle, Rodon, Ampadu, Byram, Tanaka, Rothwell, James, Ramazani, Solomon & Piroe

Norwich preview: Hoping for a good performance against league leaders
After four games without a loss in the league, three of which they've won, Norwich have fallen in the last round against Sheffield United, one of the main candidates for promotion. Unfortunately for the Canaries, they will now meet with another promotion hopeful in Leeds, who currently sit atop of the standings.
Norwich will once again be without their best scorer this season Borja Sainz, who has to serve a suspension, but they will also miss injured Gabriel Forsyth, Liam Gibbs, Ben Slimane, and Jacob Sorensen.
Predicted lineup: Gunn (GK), Stacey, Duffy, Doyle, Mahovo, Fisher, McLean, Marcondes, Hernandez, Dobbin & Sargent

Player to watch: Joel Piroe
With 10 goals and five assists in the Championship this season Piroe has been the standout in this great Leeds team and he's their top scorer in the league so far. The Dutch forward has caught the eye of many this season and he's our player to watch against Norwich too.
