HISTORY never repeats itself exactly, but it can certainly give confidence and David Wagner’s past gives Norwich City plenty to look forward to at Elland Road on Thursday.

Because the way the Canaries are set up for their Championship play-off semi-final second leg has a lot of similarities with the year Wagner took Huddersfield Town into the Premier League for the first time. No wonder he declared at full-time on Sunday: 'I'm absolutely fine with what I've seen, I'm in a very positive mood and very positive mindset. We're fully in the game.

Seven years ago Wagner joked he had the advantage of being German – so was Christopher Schindler, who scored the winner in the final against Reading – but so is Leeds manager Daniel Farke. This time the advantage lies elsewhere. Because whilst in all 46 matches of Leeds' regular season two-time title winner Farke had the edge in terms of experience, this is his first English play-off. Wagner has been there and got the T-shirt.
