Stan Collymore makes Norwich City vs Leeds United prediction

Stan Collymore believes that Leeds United will return to winning ways when they take on struggling Norwich City at Carrow Road this afternoon.

The Whites are searching for their second Premier League win of the season which would take them above Burnley and out of the relegation zone.

Meanwhile, Norwich currently sit rock bottom without a victory from their opening nine matches and come into the clash off the back of a 7-0 thrashing at Chelsea.

However, Collymore has tipped Leeds to come away with all three points and pile more misery on the Norfolk side.

"I’m backing Leeds to finally plot some kind of an escape route from their recent malaise," the former Nottingham Forest striker said in the People.

Marcelo Bielsa will be without Patrick Bamford, Luke Ayling, Robin Koch through injury, whilst Junior Firpo could come back in after featuring for the Under 23s against Arsenal on Friday.

Kalvin Phillips' return to the Premier League team will provide the Whites with a boost, whilst Rodrigo will be looking to kick on following his equaliser in the 1-1 draw against Wolves last time out.

A victory for Leeds will take them onto 10 points, level with Watford and Aston Villa, whilst 20th-place Norwich could climb above Newcastle United with a win.

This is an important game at the bottom of the division which both sides will be vying to get all three points from.
