“Leeds without a shadow of a doubt,” the Wales international said when asked who would be most pleased with the scoreline at Carrow Road, while working as a pundit for Sky Sports. “Obviously Ashley Barnes was missing, Josh Sargent went off and we don’t know the extent of that at the minute but it leaves them very short up front.

“Daniel James only having minutes at the end, I think that shows that Leeds were quite happy with the draw here. Now it’s a one game shoot out at Elland Road which they’ve got to fancy themselves in.”

The tie will come to life in the second leg, that is for certain, given its all or nothing nature and with Elland Road sold out, the atmosphere promises to be electric. Leeds have used that raucous support to their advantage on plenty of occasions this season and Lockyer believes that could be their biggest asset, should they take the lead early and seize the initiative, as it was the Hatters against Sunderland before their Wembley exploits last season.
