Leeds United vs Norwich City Prediction: An easy win for the hosts

Leeds United

WWDDW

Leeds United continued their exceptional form in the league with a 3-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday in their last game. Manor Solomon opened the scoring just three minutes into the game before Largie Ramazani and Ao Tanaka added to the lead in the second half. The Whites are now unbeaten in their last 10 games in all competitions and have won 13 of their last 12 games at home. They sit first in the Championship with 56 points in 27 games, scoring 51 goals and conceding 19. They are one point ahead of second-placed Sheffield United in the race for the title. However, they will be without Pascal Struijk and Patrick Bamford due to injuries.

Norwich City

WDWWL

Norwich City suffered a 2-0 loss to Sheffield United in their last game, with two goals from 23-year-old Harrison Burrows doing the damage. The loss was their first after they had enjoyed a 4-game unbeaten run with three wins and a draw. However, they are winless in nine of their last ten games on the road. The Canaries sit 11th on the table with 36 points in 27 games, scoring 43 goals and conceding 39. The team is very active in the winter transfer dealings, bringing Matej Jurasek from Slavia Prague in. However, Borja Sainz will continue his 6-match ban for spitting at Sunderland's Chris Mepham in December.
