Leeds United and Norwich City meet in the FA Cup fifth round on Sunday, with the hosts welcoming the Canaries to Elland Road for a chance to reach the quarter-finals.
Leeds are 15th in the Premier League table and chasing their first FA Cup quarter-final since the 2002-03 campaign. Daniel Farke’s side beat Derby County 3-1 in the third round before edging past Birmingham City on penalties in the fourth.
There is added intrigue here with Norwich making the trip to Elland Road as Farke faces his former club.
Norwich sit 17th in the Championship but have impressed in this competition, beating Walsall 5-1 in the third round and West Bromwich Albion 3-1 in the fourth.
The Canaries are aiming to reach the quarter-finals for the first time since 2019-20.
Midfielder Anis Ben Slimane has been one of Norwich’s standout performers in the FA Cup this season, leading all players in the competition for assists with four.
With Leeds carrying home advantage and Norwich showing real attacking quality in the cup, this should be a competitive tie.
