Leeds travel to Norwich City’s Carrow Road ahead of Saturday’s Championship clash.

Marcelo Bielsa will have a number of decisions to make ahead of Saturday’s Championship clash against Norwich City, after a 2-2 draw against Swansea City gave the Argentine plenty of food for thought.

Substitutes Lewis Baker, Jack Harrison and Patrick Bamford were crucial on Tuesday night at the Liberty Stadium, as Leeds came from behind twice to earn a point against the relegated side.

Indeed, Bamford provided the assist for Pablo Hernandez to score against his old side, while Baker connected the midfield and attack with aplomb. Former New York City star Harrison looked exciting, on and off the ball.

Now, Leeds will be hoping to maintain their unbeaten run and stay at the top of the Championship table with three points over Norwich City, who have won just one of their opening four league games.

Bielsa must decide whether to play any of his impressive substitutes against the Canaries, while the Argentine will be forced into one change in defence.

Captain Liam Cooper, who has been arguably one of the best performers this season so far, picked up a hamstring injury during the warm-up at Swansea and will miss the next couple of weeks. Pontus Jansson is likely to replace him.

Here, we think Bielsa will make two changes to his side that sees Jansson come in for 18-year-old Jamie Shackleton despite his impressive performance against Swansea, while Harrison replaces Gjanni Alioski.
