Norwich City Can Go 11 Points Clear with Win Over Leeds

James Kent
Leeds United may have spent most of the season on top, but they now lie 8 points behind Norwich. Any lingering hopes Leeds have of catching Norwich will be gone with defeat at Carrow Road. In contrast Norwich have the opportunity to cement their position as leaders and probable champions.

Leeds however may be more concerned about holding onto a place in the top two. After defeat against Millwall on Tuesday, Leeds are only three points ahead of the chasing pack. If both teams do go all out for the win it should be a fantastic match-up in front of a 25,000 plus crowd.

Leeds are set to be without defender Kisnorbo and possibly without top scorer Beckford. No such problems for Norwich although Lambert would have to decide if to recall Adam Drury. All things considered it's likely Norwich will name an unchanged side.

I fully expect Norwich to get the job done and defeat Leeds 3-1. I also wouldn't be at all surprised to see Millwall pip Leeds to second place before the end of the season.
