Leeds United manager Daniel Farke expresses unwavering confidence in his players ahead of Sunday’s Championship play-off semi-final against Norwich City. Despite a challenging end to the season, Farke maintains full trust in his squad, emphasizing their winning mentality in crucial matches.

Farke, who previously managed Norwich City acknowledges the significance of the upcoming play-off fixtures and dismisses the relevance of past encounters between the two teams. He underscores the need for focus on the present challenge and not dwelling on previous results.

Norwich boss David Wagner shares a similar perspective, highlighting that both teams now have an equal opportunity to secure promotion to the Premier League. Wagner draws on his experience of winning promotion through the play-offs with Huddersfield in 2017, instilling confidence in his players.

Regarding team updates, Norwich’s Shane Duffy remains available despite recent legal issues while Leeds will be without striker Patrick Bamford due to injury. However, Christian Fassnacht returns for Norwich offering a boost to their attacking options.
