Leeds have a poor record under ref picked for Thursday, he was in charge for Daniel Farke’s last Norwich match

The Whites have a dismal record when the referee is in the center, and he has been chosen for Thursday night’s

second leg match between Leeds United and Norwich City at Elland Road.

Leeds has already won a 0-0 draw away from home going into Thursday night’s match at Elland Road.

A decent result that appears to be a draw against a Norwich team that was unable to capitalize on playing at

home.

The two clubs now play in Yorkshire, with Daniel Farke’s team expected to win when Leeds take on the German

manager’s former team on Friday night, while Southampton visit West Brom.

Although Patrick Bamford may return for the match, Leeds is anticipated to be without Pascal Struijk.

Dan James and Connor Roberts are fit, with the former playing the final minutes against Norwich.

Ashley Barnes’ chances of returning in time for The Canaries are slim, according to Norwich boss David

Wagner, but he is optimistic that USA star Josh Sargent will recover from an ankle injury.

Jarred Gillett, an Australian referee, will serve as the match’s arbitrator. Leeds has performed well against the

Whites in his hands throughout the years.

Jarred Gillett, 37, entered British football during Marcelo Bielsa’s first season at Leeds after making an

impression in the A-League. Gillett’s first game officiating for Leeds came in July 2020, when the Whites

defeated Barnsley 1-0 to go within a point of winning the Championship and earning promotion to the Premier

League. However, Leeds hasn’t won the next two games, and the next was a 3-3 draw against Aston Villa, a few

months before Bielsa was fired. In that match, Wales’ James scored a brace while playing as a substitute striker

at Villa.

His final match as an FA Cup referee for Leeds was a miserable 2-2 away draw against Cardiff City, which

Sonny Perkins scored in injury time. It was overseen by Jesse Marsch. He has only played three Championship

games this season.
