Stats - you can make them work to fit whatever narrative you want.

Norwich started today second in the table and undoubtedly flying.

To put the Canaries' form into context, they have lost just one of their past 17 Championship matches, winning 10 and drawing six.

However, they have won just once in the past six - sharing the spoils on four occasions.

Likewise, Leeds have won nine of their past 12 league games. However, they have lost four of their past six in all competitions.

The three that they have lost in the past five Championship games is as many as they had lost in their previous 25 in the competition.

Mix and match your stats how you like. But the one thing that counts is that this is one v two (well, it was until Sheffield United won earlier today, but you know what I mean...)

Elland Road is a hell of a difficult place to go this season, with Marcelo Bielsa's side winning nine of their 14 league games at home. They have lost just twice.

Norwich, however, have been belligerent on their travels this year and are unbeaten in their past 12 Championship games on the road.

Let's start with some team news... or is that old news? Old team news?

Start again, let's start with the Leeds team.

It is by no means hot off the press as Marcelo Bielsa named his side for the visit of their nearest rivals Norwich a full 52 HOURS before kick-off!

For what it's worth, here it is again...

Leeds: Casilla, Ayling, Jansson, Cooper, Alioski, Forshaw, Harrison, Klich, Roberts, Hernandez, Roofe.

Norwich, meanwhile, name an unchanged starting XI.

Norwich: Krul, Aarons, Zimmermann, Godfrey, Lewis, Vrancic, Trybull, Buendia, Stipermann, Hernandez, Pukki.

It has been described by some as the most significant game in English football this weekend.

One thing is for sure, the next few hours will be decisive for both sides.

Can Leeds extend their lead at the top of the Championship? Can Norwich move back to second?

It's almost enough to get one giddy with excitement!

Right then....

Marcelo Bielsa's stepped off the coach and looks like he means business - are his Leeds side ready to do the same?

Time to find out with Andrew Aloia....

My word have we got a Saturday evening treat for you coming up....

The two teams that started today as the Championship's top two go head-to-head at Elland Road as Norwich take on Leeds.

DON'T. GO. AWAY.....

• Late drama for leaders Lincoln, who missed the chance to come from behind and beat bottom-placed Notts County when John Akinde missed a late penalty - 1-1 was the full-time score.
• Second-placed Mansfield keep up their automatic promotion charge with a 3-1 win over struggling Macclesfield.
• Exeter City made it an unhappy return for their former boss Paul Tisdale as they beat his MK Dons side 3-1.
• Colchester are just outside the play-off places after a big 4-0 away win at Northampton.

• Luton extend their lead at the top of League One to six points with a 3-0 win at Shrewsbury, James Collins taking his scoring tally to 18 goals with a double.
• Barnsley move up to second, overcoming Scunthorpe 2-0.
• Portsmouth slip to third despite fighting back to earn a point against Doncaster.
• Darren Ferguson is beaten in his first home game back in charge of Peterborough, Ruben Lameiras coming up with an 88th-minute winner for Plymouth.
• Fleetwood win for just the second time in eight matches in all competitions, overcoming in-form Charlton 1-0. The Addicks finish that one with 10 men following Patrick Bauer's late dismissal for a second yellow.

On a freezing day in the UK, here's what happened in the Championship...

• Britt Assombalonga's late double gives Middlesbrough victory at West Bromwich Albion.
• Sheffield United go second with their win over Bolton, although they could be overtaken again by Norwich later today.
• Sheffield Wednesday win their first game under Steve Bruce, snatching a late 1-0 win at Ipswich.
• Brentford come from 2-0 down to beat Blackburn 5-2, while Bristol City move up into the top six by beating Swansea.
• Debutant Sam Vokes has a penalty saved as Stoke lose 2-0 at Hull.

And there's still Leeds v Norwich to come!

That's all the full-times in the Championship.

Stick with us and we'll bring you all the headlines shortly...

All over at The Den and it ends goalless.

Comeback of the day goes to Brentford. 2-0 down after seven minutes, win 5-2.

Wigan hold on for just their second win in 12 games.

Finally all over at The Hawthorns and what a game!

Tony Pulis comes back to haunt West Brom as Britt Assombalonga comes off the bench with two late goals to win it.

Goals from Jota and Che Adams settle this one in Blues' favour.

No way through for either side in a game where there was no shortage of chances.

Reading stay inside the bottom three.

A miserable day for Stoke. A missed penalty and no points for the Potters.

Steve Bruce off to the perfect start in charge of Sheffield Wednesday.

Ipswich, well...the trap door gets ever closer to opening up to put them down to League One.

Sheffield United are up to second in the Championship, for the meantime at the very least as Norwich can leapfrog them with just a point in their top-of-the-table meeting with Leeds this evening.

Defeat leaves Bolton languishing in the bottom three.
