Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United side are in a battle with Norwich City and Sheffield United for promotion.

Ian Harte of Leeds United celebrates scoring their second goal during the FA Barclaycard Premiership match between Arsenal and Leeds United at Highbury on May 4, 2003 in London.

Ian Harte has admitted on social media website Twitter that he doesn’t think Leeds United will be able to catch Norwich City this season.

Leeds are currently Norwich’s closest rivals for the Championship title, with six points separating the two sides.

But Harte does not see Norwich slipping up, which leaves Leeds battling it out for one promotion spot.

Leeds moved above Sheffield United to go back into the automatic spaces this week.

Marcelo Bielsa’s men won against Preston North End, but the Blades could only draw 1-1 at Birmingham City.

Norwich, meanwhile, scored late on to rescue a point against Reading at Carrow Road.

Leeds’ next match comes against Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend, while Sheffield United take on Millwall and Norwich visit Wigan Athletic.
