Leeds United 4-0 Norwich City highlights: Whites book their place at Wembley in Championship play-off final
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Whites are potentially 180 minutes from the Premier League, starting tonight with their semi-final second leg against Norwich.
David Wagner’s Canaries do not boast the best away record in the Championship this season, while Daniel Farke’s men are statistically the second-strongest home side in the division. But, the play-offs are a different entity altogether and knockout football has a tendency to facilitate high drama.

Hide AdExtra time and penalties may be required this evening, if the two sides remain level, unable to be separated at the end of normal time. Elland Road is a sell-out, as one might anticipate on a night of such magnitude, with emotions expected to run high.
Striker Patrick Bamford was ruled out of this fixture last week by Farke with minor knee trauma and is not expected to return. The manager sprung a surprise in his team selection at Carrow Road last weekend, though, packing the midfield with an additional body; what he has in store for Leeds supporters tonight remains to be seen.

4' CHANCE. Summerville combines well with Rutter on the left-hand side, bamboozling the Norwich defenders, flooring Gabriel Sara, but puts his shot over the crossbar.
Atmosphere
You can sense the occasion amongst the crowd here this evening. Players complete their warm-ups and are serenaded off the field to raucous applause and ‘We All Love Leeds’. Elland Road is going to treat us to an absolute racket at kick-off.
