Norwich City star Jonathan Rowe has been speaking ahead of the play-off semi-final second leg with Leeds United on Thursday.

Rowe made his first start for the Canaries on Sunday since their 1-0 defeat to Leeds at Elland Road in January, as the two sides played out a cagey 0-0 draw.

The 21-year-old was one of a number of top attacking players on the pitch who struggled to get into the game, with just three shots on target between either team.

But it is the second leg of play-off ties that often bring the drama and the onus will certainly be on Leeds, as the home side, to come out and attack with much more adventure.

For Leeds to progress, though, they will have to do something they have not done since 1987, and that is winning a home play-off tie.

That game is one that will live long in the memory for Leeds supporters as Joe Gelhardt netted a dramatic 94th minute winner, just moments after Kenny McLean had equalised for the visitors.

Such a late goal brought meant Elland Road was at its absolute best that day, with it turning out to be a crucial three points in Leeds' fight for survival.

Speaking to Pink Un ahead of Thursday's game, Rowe believes Leeds' atmosphere is among the very best in the country and is comparable to only Anfield and Old Trafford, of stadiums he's played in.

He said: "Those three (Anfield, Elland Road and Old Trafford) are probably the main ones that stood out to me. Anfield is Anfield, it was a fortress and has been for the last few years. That club has a lot of weight, and Old Trafford was just huge.

"Elland Road had the most noise that I can remember. That I was a crazy game. Even though we lost I was just in awe of the atmosphere."

Leeds need Elland Road at its best on Thursday Having earned a draw at Carrow Road, many people now see Leeds as favourites for the return leg due to the advantage of playing at home.

Elland Road had been an absolute fortress for Leeds this season up until the last two matches, as they went unbeaten in their first 21 on home soil this season.

Leeds will need the home support at their very best on Thursday in a similar way to how it was when the Whites defeated Leicester City 3-1 in February.

After Connor Roberts' equalising goal, that game was only going one way and a similar atmosphere could be too much for Norwich.
