Two top half of the table Championship teams meet this evening with a place in the EFL Cup quarter-finals on the line.

Leeds will be hoping for a big crowd at Elland Road as they aim to progress, and potentially set up an even bigger clash with a Premier League club.

Getting past Norwich will not be easy, with the Canaries already beating Everton at Goodison Park in the last round, through goals from Steven Naismith and Jacob Murphy.

Leeds edged out Blackburn in the previous round, bearing Fleetwood Town and Luton Town earlier in the competition.

They are currently fifth in the Championship with Norwich placed in fourth position.
