For Leeds United now it's about going on, winning this game and ensuring that they get through to the next round comfortably and don't make themselves a problem.

Over to you Leeds fans...
Thumbs up if you would take winning the FA Cup - a first major trophy for 34 years - over Premier League survival.

Leeds have completely dominated this game from 10/15 minutes in. They have looked like a Premier League side against the side lower down in the Championship.
Norwich have offered very little. They haven't touched Leeds, they haven't laid a glove.

Should Daniel Farke sit in the stand every game from now on?
The Leeds boss is serving a touchline ban but his players have responded well without the German's presence in the technical area.

How good would it be to see Leeds in the FA Cup final?
They haven't made it that far since 1973.
See this over the line and they will be two wins away.

Another chance for Leeds but Joel Piroe cannot finish.
Six attempts, two on target, two goals...and two disallowed goals.
Leeds have dominated this half.

Image source, Getty ImagesIt's been very, very much one-way traffic in this first half.
Norwich are really struggling to deal with them. They've got no answers, they've not been able to get a foothold in this game whatsoever.
Gudmundsson is not going to miss an opportunity like that.
At the moment it's easy for Leeds.

Six additional minutes at the end of the first half.
There is only one team in this right now. And it isn't the side in yellow and green.
Gabriel Gudmundsson

Norwich look a shell of the team that started confidently and Gudmundsson strikes after the visitors fail to properly deal with Dan James' low cross.
As it stands, Leeds are cruising into the quarter-finals.

Why hasn't he kept himself onside?
He's at the back, at the far post, looking along the defensive line.
It's so simple - keep yourself onside.
Leeds 1-0 Norwich
Wilfried Gnonto has the ball in the back of the Norwich net but he is half a yard offside.
That's two disallowed goals for the hosts.
More importantly, they have the lead. Norwich really could do with the half-time whistle.

Not much of a test for Lucas Perri so far.
The Leeds goalkeeper has had very little to do, with Norwich yet to register an attempt on target.

Indeed, that's his first since 27 September.
The assist has been credited to Gabriel Gudmundsson.

I do just wonder if that'll kick Norwich into life because I've been disappointed with them. They've offered very, very little.

Leeds took time to click into gear but they deserve the lead.
Norwich need to get to half-time without conceding another.

You can't say it hasn't been coming! Leeds United have been upping the tempo.
It's a brilliant first touch from Longstaff. He smashes it into the goal and gives Leeds a deserved lead.

10/10 for technique by Sean Longstaff who shows wonderful control before turning and scoring.
Norwich goalkeeper Daniel Grimshaw had very little chance keeping that out.

Leeds have lost two of their last 15 meetings with Norwich in all competitions (W9 D4), on both occasions losing to current manager Daniel Farke when he was Canaries boss in April 2018 and February 2019.
This is the fourth FA Cup tie between Leeds and Norwich – the Canaries went through in a fourth round replay in 1934-35, while the Whites won 5-0 in a third round second replay in 1972-73 and then 5-2 in the third round in 1976-77.
Leeds are looking to reach an FA Cup quarter-final for the first time since 2002-03 under Terry Venables – they’ve been knocked out in the fifth round on four occasions since then. This is their first home game at this stage since 1998-99, drawing 1-1 with Spurs before losing a replay 0-2.
Norwich have been eliminated in each of their last 14 FA Cup ties against top-flight teams while playing outside the top division themselves, last progressing from one of these ties in the third round in 1981-82 when they beat Stoke City 1-0.
Leeds have progressed from each of their last six FA Cup ties against sides from a lower division, since losing 3-0 to Crawley in January 2021. As a Premier League side, the Whites have won eight of their last nine at Elland Road against lower league sides, losing 1-0 to Wolves in March 1998 in the other.
Norwich City’s Anis Ben Slimane has the most assists of any player in this season’s FA Cup from the first round onwards (4), assisting two goals against each of Walsall and West Brom in the third and fourth rounds respectively.
