Winning one promotion to the Premier League would probably have been enough to establish Daniel Farke's place among the most respected managers in Norwich City history. To do it twice - and in the space of only three seasons - means he will be forever regarded with affection by the club's fanbase, no matter that he was unable to establish them in the top flight. Now, it is the task of the current Canaries squad to try to beat Farke's Leeds United side at Elland Road and earn a place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup for the first time since the German guided them to that stage in 2019-20. Despite Norwich's injury problems, he will be taking nothing for granted against a team which has shown a marked improvement since Philippe Clement - a League Cup winner in Scotland with Rangers in 2024 - took charge in November. They only managed nine points from their first 15 Championship games this season, losing eight in a row at home, but have added 36 to that total under Clement and have won eight of their last 10 matches in league and cup.
