Nine matches into the Premier League campaign, and Norwich City stick out as relegation candidates. They will be hoping for a better day when they host Leeds United on Sunday. Leeds United go into this game placed 17th with seven points while Norwich are rock bottom on two points. Not much has worked for Norwich City so far; they have just one win in their 11 matches this season. That win was in the League Cup; they are still looking for a first league win of the campaign, and have only scored twice in the nine league matches. The two goals both came from Teemu Pukki and one of them was a penalty. Ahead of this game, they suffered a 7-0 thrashing at the hands of Chelsea and have now failed to score in their last five matches. That defeat took the number of goals they’ve conceded in the league to 23 in nine games, making them the poorest in both attack and defence so far.

Leeds United aren’t far much better; they have one win in the league this season and two in total across the 12 matches they’ve played. In the league standings, they are just three places and five points above Norwich so there isn’t much difference between the two sides. They are coming from a 2-0 loss at Arsenal, which eliminated them from the League Cup. It was another case of their poor defence; this season they have just three clean sheets in 12 matches and have failed to score in four of the 12 matches. However, they have conceded more than a goal in just one of their last five matches and they should be able to do well against the worst attack in the league. Both teams have scored in Leeds United’s six of nine matches this season.
