Chris Sutton predicts Leeds United clash v Leicester City in Premier League
Chris Sutton has backed Leeds United to pick up a much-needed three points in their Premier League clash with Leicester City on Tuesday 25 April.
Writing in the print edition of the Daily Mail today [25 April, pg 68], the BBC pundit predicted the Whites will win 2-1 at Elland Road to ease the pressure.
Leeds are currently one point above the relegation zone after three consecutive defeats which has really started to take its toll on the fans being forced to watch.
Sutton wrote: “This is one of the toughest contests to call.
“Though Leeds have looked abysmal in their last three games, I can see this being the game when Javi Gracia gets an all-important win over a relegation rival.”
Desperate.
Javi Gracia will be more than desperate to leave Elland Road with all three points tonight and relieve some of the huge pressure on him and his squad.
Leeds have been nothing short of embarrassing over the past fortnight, with the lack of fight and any common sense real worrying traits to have in a relegation fight.
If the Whites had backed up that win over Nottingham Forest with four points in their next three, they could have been all but safe now, but instead, they capitulated.
Leicester got an all-important win over Wolves at the weekend to take them one point behind us and should welcome back James Maddison and Harvey Barnes, the exact opposite of what we wanted to hear.
Hopefully, there can be an early goal or something to really get the crowd going at Elland Road, this could turn out to be our biggest game of the season.
