Seeking to extend the advantage that puts them at the summit of the Championship table, Leeds United and Luton Town at Elland Road on Wednesday.
The hosts went to the top of the tree with a second consecutive win on Sunday but they only occupied second and third place on goal difference only, while their visitors secured their 16th place on the ladder with a victory after the recent internationals break.
Leeds United return to Elland Road on Wednesday to further bolster its bid for the Championship title after claiming its third successive league win on Sunday that put the club in first place for the first time this season.
Aiming at getting promotion back to the premier league for the second time following Stephen Gambles’ guidance, Norwich City attracted many football fans by performing great at the start of the tournament, positioning themselves as the third team with 29 points for 15 matches and 8 victories in the team vs 2 all through the November international break.
On their return to action, the whites travelled to Swansea City on Sunday and were able to secure a come from behind victory after a see-sawing game that ended 3-3, only to be leveled by Gnonto in the last minute of the game and win the three points for Farke’s men.
However, only Middlesbrough has equaled their total of 28 goals and only two clubs have conceded as many as the 12 goals they have shipped in their 15 games to date, while their home record of 19 points from eight games at Elland Road where they are on a five-game winning streak ahead of Wednesday is the best in the division.
Leeds United will now attempt to solidify their place with a sixth consecutive home league victory on Wednesday, even though they are still just ahead of Sunderland and Sheffield United on goal differential.
To continue moving up the Championship table, their guests will travel to Elland Road with the goal of ending that run with a second consecutive win of their own.
Luton Town, who were relegated from the Premier League the previous season, had a particularly bad start to the new season. They finished the recent break in 20th place, just above the relegation zone on goal differential, having only collected 15 points from their first 15 games.
After his game-winning goal on Sunday, Willy Gnonto ought to be back in the attacking lineup right away, joining Brenden Aaronson and Manor Solomon, who scored twice over the weekend, to assist Joel Piroe or Mateo Joseph up front.
Rob Edwards should start a lineup that is identical to Luton Town's 1-0 victory over Hull on Saturday. However, Jordan Clark, who served a suspension the previous time out, should start in lieu of Shandon Baptiste, who suffered an injury issue in that match.
In their 3-4-1-2 formation, Clark will probably play in the middle alongside Tom Krauss, while Marvelous Nakamba will once more fill in as a left wing-back when Alfie Doughty is injured.
