Leeds will take on Blackburn away from home at Ewood Park in the Championship on Wednesday evening.
Prutton believes that the Whites will pick up all three points from the encounter.
“It’s a similar situation to Newcastle for Leeds, getting beat in the FA Cup having made lots of changes,” former Leeds midfielder Prutton wrote on Skysports.com.
“Maybe it was a way for Garry Monk to show the powers that be that they need some more strength in depth as we head to Deadline Day.
“Monk took full responsibility after the loss, but I’m sure he would have told his players in no uncertain terms what is expected of them, and that it wasn’t anywhere near good enough. But I still see Leeds winning this.”
A footnote added: “PRUTTON PREDICTS: 1-2.”
Leeds will head into the match against Blackburn on the back of a 1-0 defeat to National League outfit Sutton United away from home at the Borough Sports Ground in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
