    Norwich - v - Leeds United ***Matchday Thread***



    Norwich City midfielder Billy Gilmour is expected to return to the starting line-up after he was ineligible to face parent club Chelsea last weekend.

    Przemyslaw Placheta and Todd Cantwell could both make their comeback but Ben Gibson is suspended.

    Leeds United midfielder Raphinha has overcome the ankle injury that forced him off against Wolves.

    Junior Firpo should feature following a muscle strain but Patrick Bamford and Luke Ayling remain out.

    MATCH FACTS

    Head-to-head

    Norwich City and Leeds United meet in the Premier League for the first time since 1994. The home team triumphed 2-1 in both fixtures that season.

    Norwich have won four of the six Premier League encounters. The Canaries had won four of their previous 20 top-flight games against Leeds.However, Norwich have won just one of the past five league meetings at Carrow Road.

    Norwich City

    Norwich's 7-0 loss to Chelsea last weekend matched their joint-heaviest defeat in the Premier League. They also lost 7-0 to Manchester City in 2013.

    The Canaries are on a winless streak of 19 Premier League games, scoring three goals and conceding 47.

    Their return of two goals equals the English league record for fewest goals after nine fixtures.Norwich's goal difference of -21 is the joint worst at this stage of a Premier League campaign, level with Sheffield Wednesday in 1999-00.

    The Canaries have conceded 23 league goals. They have only once before let in more after nine games, conceding 27 in 1946.

    Norwich have equalled the club top-flight record of nine successive winless home matches, last set in 2004.Norwich did not take the lead in any of their previous 13 Premier League fixtures.

    Both of Norwich's league goals this season were scored by Teemu Pukki at Carrow Road. Fif**** other players have made shot attempts without scoring.

    Daniel Farke has the lowest points-per-game ratio (0.49), win ratio (10.6%) and goals-per-game ratio (0.60) of any Premier League manager to have taken charge for more than one season.

    Leeds United

    Seven points from nine games marks Leeds' worst start to a top-flight campaign since 1981.Their only Premier League win this season came at home against promoted Watford on 2 October.

    Leeds can remain winless in each of their opening five away fixtures of a league season for the first time since 1998 in the Premier League.They have scored just eight goals in their nine league matches this campaign.

    Leeds are unbeaten in all eight games against sides in the relegation zone since returning to the Premier League last season.

    MOT.

    0 - 4.

    Norwich always do v Leeds, anyone who got beat 7 nil will surely bust a gut to prove a point. Bielsa looks like he's gone for broke, very attack minded, Cooper a weak link, as always, penalty or bad back pass usually well within his play every game, the fear of losing is outweighing my enjoyment of football nowadays.

    Bizarrely if the front three rotate a lot that might just work - he sure will press their back line anyway
