Tomorrow is one of those mid-table games with nothing to play for but yet sometimes provide the best entertainment as the players aren’t under any pressure. Well that’s the optimistic view, it could go the other way where it just ebbs and flows for 90 minutes.
My XI
Baily Peacock-Farrell – Just needs to do what he’s been doing so far.
RB – Matthew Pennington – We don’t really have many options and ended up having a decent game against Barnsley.
CB – Paudie O’Connor – Has been steady since he came into the side and will have his hands full with Nelson Olivieira tomorrow if the Portuguese striker starts.
CB – Pontus Jansson – Bagged his first ever Leeds goal in this tie and scored against them again this season so will fancy his chances of another.
LB – Tom Pearce – Brilliant in the last game and tomorrow he will get the chance to impress again.
CM – Ronaldo Vieira – A ground where he has fond memories and tomorrow he has a couple of key things to do, make sure James Maddison doesn’t get room on the edge of the box and make sure Wes Hoolahan doesn’t get the happy ending with a goal or assist.
CM – Adam Forshaw – Good to get him back out on the pitch last week. Hopefully he can get on the ball tomorrow and release the forward players early on, Norwich can sit deep if they need to but are good on the ball.
RW – Gjanni Alioksi – Has shown promise this season and a big summer for him could really kick his Leeds career into life.
CAM – Samu Saiz – May well be on the bench tomorrow, not because of tactics but because he is one of the poorest performing players in the side at the moment. Would be nice for him to end the season on a high.
LW – Pablo Hernandez – The start of his new deal, fancy him for a goal.
ST – Kemar Roofe – For me he offers so much more than the other strikers. The top scorer and will finish as the top scorer you would have to say. Get him into the channels early and get Norwich turned around.
