Football

Norwich City travel to Elland Road to face Leeds United for a place in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Friday evening.

Norwich City aim to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time since 2020 when they face Leeds United tonight. Former manager Daniel Farke, who oversaw that previous run, now manages the Yorkshire club. The German led the Canaries to two promotions before his departure in 2021, according to Sky Sports.

Leeds United sit second in the Championship table following a 1-0 win against Stoke City. Norwich currently occupy seventh position after a 2-1 victory over Luton Town, per the EFL. Manager Johannes Hoff Thorup confirmed that Josh Sargent remains unavailable due to an injury sustained in February.

The visitors have won four of their last five league fixtures. Leeds enter the match on a 10-match unbeaten run at Elland Road in all competitions. The winners of this fifth-round tie will progress to the last eight of the competition, as reported by The Guardian. Kick-off is scheduled for 19:45 GMT.
