Leeds United will face Norwich City at Elland Road in the Championship this weekend.

Kemar Roofe of Leeds is tackled by Julien De Sart of Derby during the Sky Bet Championship match between Leeds United and Derby County at Elland Road on January 13, 2017 in Leeds, England.

Leeds United fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to express their desire to see Kemar Roofe start against Norwich City this weekend.

The West Yorkshire outfit will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Norwich at Elland Road in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.

The Whites will head into the match against the Canaries on the back of a 3-1 victory over Queens Park Rangers away from home at Loftus Road in London in the league.

The star of the show for Leeds against QPR was Roofe, who scored all three goals for the visiting team.

The 24-year-old, who can operate as a winger or as a striker, found the target first in the 63rd minute, then on 68 minutes and finally in the fourth minute of injury time.

It was one of the Roofe’s best performances so far this season, and Leeds fans want head coach Thomas Christiansen to deploy him as a striker against Norwich.

Roofe has been on the books of Leeds since the summer of 2016 when he joined from Oxford United for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £3 million.
