Norwich City take on Premier League opponents today in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Phillipe Clement's men have beaten Walsall and West Brom to make it this far.

A win today for the Canaries against Leeds United would put them through to the quarter-finals of the competition.

The Yellows come into this one in good form, having five out of their last games across all competitions.

Ante Crnac, Mirko Topic, Matěj Jurásek and Mohamed Toure are all sidelined. Amankwah Forson has returned to training but remains a doubt.

The teams kick-off from 4.30pm at Elland Road.

"There could be a surprise"

Rob Sainty is chair of the club's supporters group, The Canaries Trust:

"I'd really like us to have a cup run, it would be great to win and for the club's finances- more generally.

"But on the other hand, I am worried about injuries. I think that with an 11 point gap to the relegation zone, we can pretty much say that Norwich will be safe from relegation this season.

"However, with us having such a thin squad at the moment it all still remains a worry".

Chris Newby follows the club from Portugal:

"It's going to be a big challenge for us today, but ultimately anything can happen in the cup. If we're up to it during the game then there could be a surprise there.

Lorraine Taylor has followed the club for over 50 years:

"For so many years I've dreamt of Norwich City making it to an FA Cup final and hearing 'Abide with me' while being in a sea of yellow and green.

"It's personally right up there for me and would top getting promoted".
