Daniel Farke must hook Mateo Joseph and replace him with Joel Piroe at half time for Leeds United to come back from behind against Norwich City.

The Whites have gone in at the interval 1-0 down at Carrow Road with a Josh Sargent penalty the difference between the two teams.

It is safe to say that the away side have had the better of the opening exchanges, dominating possession and forcing Angus Gunn into multiple saves.

Despite this, Farke's side are still behind and the German must now make one change to help turn the scoreline around in the second half.

The Dutchman has been superb in recent weeks, scoring three goals off the bench in the last four Championship matches.

These have helped the Whites on their way to secure nine points from a possible 12, with his goals being integral to his side's current league position.

That is at threat at Carrow Road with the home side currently holding on to a slender lead after an early spot kick after an ill-timed Joe Rodon tackle.

Going forward, there have been some bright sparks with Brenden Aaronson and Wilfried Gnonto being particularly busy in the opening 45 minutes.

With that being said, Joseph has been quiet in unusual fashion and this could prompt his manager to make a half-time change.

The Spaniard is typically a handful for opposition defences but up against Jose Cordoba and Shane Duffy, chances have been at a premium for the Spaniard.

Piroe is superb at finding space in tight areas which could be the perfect way through the Canaries' defence as the second half goes on.

Farke has already been forced to take off the injured Ilia Gruev, but it is simply not happening for Leeds in front of goal and the prolific Piroe can resolve that.
