Leeds United play host to Norwich City in the Championship tomorrow.
David Prutton in action during his Leeds United days
Sky Sports pundit David Prutton wrote his regular prediction column for Sky Sports, and previewed the Whites’ huge clash with the Canaries tomorrow, predicting a tight affair at Elland Road.
Garry Monk has guided his side to an extremely successful season on the most part, but they have really struggled over this past month, winning just once in their last six Championship outings.
Norwich head into the game in slightly more confident mood, having won their last two games, and will by no means be a push over tomorrow, despite the fact that they have nothing to play for other than personal pride.
And Prutton predicted the outcome of the game, when writing his regular column for Sky Sports, highlighting how he expects the visitors to pose a stern test:
David Prutton in action for Leeds
“A big one for Leeds. They have to do their own thing and rely on other teams slipping up. Why have they slipped up recently? It’s been a long season for them and they have not made that many changes in the team. They are heavily reliant on the likes of Chris Wood, Kyle Bartley and Pontus Jansson. They have been brought together by a very good manager who has made them believe in themselves but maybe what we have seen over the last few weeks is perhaps where we thought Leeds would be. Norwich won’t be easy. Leeds, though, just have to win and I think they will.”
Prediction Leeds United 1-0 Norwich City
With Sheffield Wednesday traveling to Ipswich Town and Fulham playing host to Brentford tomorrow, Leeds’ hopes of forcing their way inside the top six could very well be over come 16:45 Saturday evening, irrespective of whether they win their game or not.
The still have to head into the game with the mindset of focusing on their own job before worrying about how other teams have faired, however, and at least make those above them work for their place inside the play-offs.
