A MATCHDAY look at Leeds v Norwich in the domestic cups. United have been drawn against #ncfc 3 times in past #FACup runs, with replays resulting in 6 games, (just 1 defeat). There'll be no replay this year though!

United's first Wembley win in 1967 did not get the coverage it deserved with League Cup Final highlights shown on the Sunday (did the game get shown live on YTV or LWT?).

As highlighted before/after every game, (not so) Dirty Leeds haven't had a player sent off since 2023, and it's 10 years (and 22 games) since one in the League Cup!
The last, Lewis Cook at Donny, was actually the third United player sent off in 3 consecutive #FLCup ties!
