Fletcher also praised Leeds United and Sheffield United, and the former Manchester United and West Bromwich Albion midfielder believes that the second automatic promotion spot will be a fight between the two Yorkshire clubs.
Fletcher said on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT last Friday morning (8:11am, March 8, 2019): “To be honest, the three teams up there are the three best teams in the league for me, the three best teams we have played.
“Norwich are fantastic keeping the ball, Leeds’s intensity, and Sheffield United, they literally just put you under pressure.
“So I think it is very tight between those two. I think Norwich will definitely go up, and I think it’s a fight between Leeds and Sheffield United for the second automatic promotion place.”
