Leeds take on the Canaries having moved to within four points of the play-off positions.

After putting a run of six defeats in seven league games behind them boss Christiansen said: “That was a very bad time for us, but it won’t happen again.” GILLINGHAM expect to have defender Bradley Garmston (hamstring) back, while striker Conor Wilkinson (knee) should also be involved.

Walsall should have Joe Edwards back, but Tyler Roberts and Liam Roberts – who have similar hamstring problems – will not be rushed back.
