‘Don’t see that happening’: Mark Lawrenson predicts Norwich v Leeds result

Leeds United are back in Premier League action on Sunday as they look to secure a second top-flight win this season.

Marcelo Bielsa’s charges have been struggling in the league this term, with four draws and four defeats from nine.

Leeds also suffered a further blow in midweek as Arsenal knocked them out of the Carabao Cup.

On Sunday, the Whites head to fellow relegation battlers Norwich City, currently at the foot of the Premier League table.

The Canaries played out goalless draws against Burnley and Brighton either side of the international break.

However, they were then hammered 7-0 by Chelsea last week.

Both sides will be desperate for all three points, and BBC pundit Mark Lawrenson reckons Leeds will run out 2-0 winners at Carrow Road.

“This is game number 10 of the Premier League season, taking us more than a quarter of the way through,” he wrote on .

“So if you are a manager or a coach you will now have a really good idea what you can expect from your team during the rest of the campaign.

“Let’s face it, things do not look very good for Norwich right now after their capitulation against Chelsea last weekend, and it is hard to see them improving much in the coming months.

“Leeds have been slow off the mark themselves, and given their form, this should be a home game for Norwich to target to win.

“I don’t see that happening though.”
