Leeds United take on Norwich City in the Championship today. The Yorkshire side travel to Carrow Road full of confidence after their recent good form in the league and of course a good result against the Canaries in the EFL Cup.

Leeds knocked Norwich out of the competition in the last round, winning on penalties at Elland Road.

That was a much-changed Leeds side as well, so Garry Monk’s men will be brimming with confidence about potentially getting the better of Norwich yet again.

But when it comes to Leeds’ confidence, the Norwich boss Alex Neil is not bothered.

Speaking to the Eastern Daily Press the Norwich boss made it clear he was not bothered about Leeds’ confidence, as if his team performs he is confident of victory:

“It doesn’t matter about how confident they are.

“No disrespect to them but it is how we approach the game that matters. If we play the way we can we are not scared of anybody coming here.”

Norwich are however in a run of poor form and were thrashed by Brighton in their last Championship game.

Leeds know that should they win, and other results go their way this weekend, they could go into the international break in the play-off places.

Monk will be hoping to get the better of Neil yet again.
