Norwich City, Sheffield United and Leeds United are currently sitting in the Championship’s top three.

Millwall striker Steve Morison has interestingly claimed that Leeds are the type of team that ‘look amazing’ on TV, but when you play against them you realise that ‘it’s not too bad’.

Morison also shared that Sheffield United have been ‘the best team’ his side have played in the Championship this season, while current leaders Norwich were also ‘very good’.

The Whites, who didn’t play at the weekend, are currently sitting outside of the automatic places, with their promotion rivals leapfrogging them on Saturday after they picked up wins against Bolton and Reading, respectively.

Nonetheless, when speaking to the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast Show, Morison offered his honest thoughts on the Championship’s top three.

“Sheffield United are the best team we have played, I would say on the day,” Morison told talkSPORT on 19/02/2019. “They were much better than us. I know they scored their goals late on, but they were much, much better than us.

“Leeds, they are good but they kind of suited us. It’s difficult, isn’t it because when you play teams sometimes it’s different than when you watch them on TV against other teams. They can look amazing. Then you play them and you are like, ‘oh, actually, they suit us and it’s not too bad’. [But], they were good.

“Norwich away was very good, even though they scored three goals in the last 10 minutes.”

When Millwall played Leeds earlier on in the season, the duo recorded a 1-1 draw, with Jack Harrison netting a late goal to rescue a point for his team.

As for Sheffield United and Norwich City, they both managed to pick up three points against the London club, with United winning 3-2 at the Den and Daniel Farke’s side scoring two goals in stoppage-time to win their match 4-3.

Nonetheless, not many Championship supporters would argue that, at this moment in time, the current top three deserve to be in their rightful places because they have been the most consistent over the course of the season.

The advantage for Marcelo Bielsa’s side is that they have a game in hand on the top two and victory in that match would see them move straight to the top of the table.
