Leeds United travel to Norwich City on Saturday afternoon in a tough test that sees Daniel Farke return to Carrow Road for the first time since leaving – and David Prutton predicted the clash on Sky Sports.
Leeds come into the game after four wins from six games, and five clean sheets in their last seven. But, they go up against a Norwich side that have impressed under David Wagner. Adam Forshaw could play.
The Canaries, though, have lost five of their last eight and after promising signs earlier on in the year, their form has dipped of late. They have just three clean sheets in their 11 League games this season.
Ex-Leeds midfielder Prutton has given his prediction for the clash in East Anglia. He reckons there will be goals, predicting a 2-2 draw despite our record defensively of late, backing a “fun draw” on Saturday.
“Norwich have a little work to do to rectify their form, because they won just one in their last five, which is not good enough if you want to push into the top six in this league,” Prutton said, on Sky Sports.
“Leeds look strong, but need to go on a real run if they are going to catch up with the runaway top two. They have looked good defensively, but I see goals here and a fun draw,” he added, ahead of Saturday.
David Prutton predicts Leeds trip to Norwich on Saturday
A tricky test. Norwich have shown they are more than capable of scoring goals and while some sides will look to frustrate Leeds, and set up defensively, you can expect Wagner’s side to come out and attack.
The Canaries have scored 21 goals in 11 games this season, but have conceded a huge 19. So, there will be chances – but Leeds may also surrender some. This will be a game of who can score the most goals.
Leeds will be without the likes of Junior Firpo, Stuart Dallas and Djed Spence. Leo Hjelde could also be missing, with Daniel Farke telling his press conference – on the club’s YouTube – he is a question mark.
