Only one team after this fixture at Elland Road will play the finals at Wembley Stadium
Leeds United will now play as the hosts in this second leg of the EFL Championship playoffs semi-finals. They were on the road in the first leg. After a 0-0 result at Carrow Road, Daniel Farke’s men will try to make the home advantage count.
Norwich City were the last team that managed to qualify for the playoffs after finishing sixth in the regular season. Even though the Canaries were playing at home in the first leg, they could only maintain 39 per cent of the possession of the ball. Another surprising thing that happened in that game was that David Wagner’s team failed to score at home for the first time since December.
Kick-Off:
Thursday, 16 May 2024 at 8:00 PM UK
Friday, 17 May 2024 at 12:30 AM IST
Location: Elland Road
Form
Leeds (in all competitions): D-L-L-W-L
Norwich (in all competitions): D-L-D-D-W
Players to Watch
Crysencio Summerville (Leeds)
Crysencio Summerville did try to play his part and put pressure on the opposition from the left flank in the first leg. Summerville has been an important player throughout the 2023-24 Championship season. The 22-year-old Dutch winger had scored 19 goals while providing a total of 9 assists in the regular season.
Gabriel Sara (Norwich)
Gabriel Sara’s second season with Norwich City has been really impressive. After making 46 appearances in the league this season, 13 goals and 12 assists were the final outcome. The left-footed Brazilian is likely to be a key ingredient if his team comes out on top.
