Norwich City vs Leeds United Match Analysis and Prediction

Norwich’s desperate search for their first Premier League win this season continues this Sunday when they welcome fellow strugglers Leeds to Carrow Road. The fixture is schedule to kickoff at 17:00.

It has been a difficult start to life back to the top flight for Norwich who are said to be too strong for Championship but not good enough for the Premier League. Daniel Farke’s side are still in search of their first Premier League win in nine games and have just bagged two points in the run.

Although, it is still early Norwich already look like a side destined for a swift return to the Championship. The Canaries have not been able to secure back-to-back top flight football in their last promotions and considering their start it will be difficult to break that pattern this year.

The Canaries opened with six straight defeats before picking up two back-to-back draws with Burnley and Brighton but were brought crashing back to ground in the 7-0 thumping at Stamford Bridge last weekend. Therefore this fixture against Leeds will be crucial for Norwich who will want to kick-start their season with the three points.

Meanwhile Leeds have made a poor start to their second season in the top flight having just secured one win in their opening nine matches picking up four draws, while have suffered four defeats in the process. They currently sit in the 17th spot on seven points just three points clear of the relegation zone.

Therefore this fixture against Norwich will be crucial for Leeds too who will want to widen the gap between them and the relegation zone.

They head into the match of on the back of a 1-1 draw against a resurgent Wolves and Marcelo Bielsa will be hoping for his side to return to winning ways in this fixture against a lowly Norwich City side who have already lost three of their four home fixtures this season.
