Leeds
- Ben Gibson is suspended for Norwich after his red card late on against Chelsea last weekend.
- Billy Gilmour is available after missing out against his parent club and must has a chance to reclaim his spot after Norwich's 7-0 defeat.
- Daniel Farke should be under massive pressure by now so will surely look to change things up for the welcome of Leeds.
- Todd Cantwell has missed Norwich's last five matches and may fall short again here in a blow for the home side.
- Raphinha could make a quicker recovery than expected and remarkably even feature against Norwich on Sunday.
- Marcelo Bielsa is also hopeful of having Junior Firpo and Jamie Shackleton for the trip to Norwich this weekend.
- Joe Gelhardt made a real impression off the bench against Wolves last weekend but it wasn't enough to start against Arsenal in midweek, so another cameo looks likely here.
- Key man Kalvin Phillips returned in the cup defeat to Arsenal in a boost for the away side, but Patrick Bamford and Luke Ayling remain sidelined.

Why is Bielsa sticking with this formation when it’s obvious that it is not working? It doesn’t make them explode. They’re not scoring much goals. Llorente is back so how about he switch back to the 4-1-4-1 formation. They need to pick up points against teams at the lower end of the table if they want to survive the drop.
@McHennie Because Bielsa has a time-tested practice. He always wants to have one more defender than the opposition has attackers so that he always has one sweeper, and he always wants to have one less attacker than the opponent has defenders so that he can press gaps efficiently. Usually it works, but against 442 it becomes awkward because the remainder is 4. It's either a line so it's too light in the middle, or it's 4 in middle but then it becomes too congested and not enough width.
