Billy Sharp has been recalled to the squad for the game against Norwich City. The forward replaces Mirco Antenucci who drops to the bench. There’s also a place in the starting XI for French loanee Granddi Ngoyi who is to make his United debut tonight. He replaces Kalvin Phillips, the youngster scored his first goal for Leeds in the weekend defeat to Cardiff but it wasn’t enough for him to retain his place.

The full line-up is below, Redfearn is continuing with the 4-2-3-1 where Charlie Taylor and Sam Byram are to continue in their roles as wide midfielders. Mowatt is set to play in the ‘hole’ with Ngoyi and Luke Murphy sitting deep.

Starting line-up: Marco Silvestri, Scott Wootton, Sol Bamba, Liam Cooper (C), Gaetano Berardi; Luke Murphy, Granddi Ngoyi, Alex Mowatt, Charlie Taylor, Sam Byram; Billy Sharp.
