Leeds United are set to take on Norwich City on Tuesday evening. The Canaries currently sit four points behind Newcastle United in the Championship.
Leeds United manager Garry Monk has told BBC Radio Yorkshire that he believes Norwich City will win the Championship this season.
Newcastle United are currently the odds-on favourites to win the second tier, and sit on top of the standings as things stand.
However, Monk feels that Norwich are going to catch the Magpies, as he rates their squad very highly.
At the moment Norwich are in fourth place in the Championship table, and they sit four points behind Newcastle.
The Canaries are also Leeds’ next opponent, on Tuesday night, and Monk is expecting his side to be given a tough test.
“For me, Norwich are my favourites to win the league,” Monk said.
“I know Newcastle are up there as well, but for me Norwich have kept a lot of their squad which were with them in the Premier League and they have added some good players in the summer.
“They are a squad which has been together in a higher league, so you expect it [the match on Tuesday night] to be tough.”
Norwich’s and Leeds’ match on Tuesday evening comes in the EFL Cup, before the two sides meet again in the league on the 5th November.
The Canaries go into the midweek game, after experiencing their first slight wobble of the campaign.
Norwich have failed to win either of their last two matches, and they lost 1-0 to Preston North End in their most recent fixture.
Leeds, meanwhile, go into the cup match in good form – having won 1-0 in their latest outing against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
