Leeds United host the Canaries at Elland Road on Tuesday night.
Eddie Gray has told LUTV that he would like to see Leeds United boss Garry Monk name a full-strength side for Tuesday’s visit of Norwich in the League Cup.
Elland Road plays host to an all-Championship affair this evening as both sides battle it out for a spot in the quarter-final of the competition.
The Canaries are seven points and six places above Leeds in the Championship table, but Alex Neil’s troops are without a win in their last two league outings.
Leeds have won four of their last five home games in all competitions – the other being a 1-1 draw with Wigan Athletic last week – and on current form it seems like the Whites have a good chance of moving one step closer toward a trip to Wembley in the new year.
The question is whether the 38-year-old will name his strongest possible XI for the visit of Norwich.
He left some first-team figures on the bench in the 1-0 win over Blackburn Rovers in the last round, including Rob Green, Luke Ayling, Pablo Hernandez and Chris Wood, who ended up scoring the winner.
But Leeds legend Gray has told LUTV that he would like to see the former Swansea manager name his best XI for the fourth-round clash tonight.
He said: “I hope Garry goes as strong as he possibly can on Tuesday because I think it’s a great opportunity for us to get into the quarter-finals.
“If they [Norwich] makes changes then I think we have a tremendous chance to get into the last eight.”
With United only three points off the pace in pursuit of a top-six finish, it might be difficult for Monk to risk a number of his best players in a competition which could see them paired with any of the Premier League’s top six teams in the next round, should they make it.
