Match Preview
Leeds have started their season with a more successful run, only dropping points in their draw against Swansea in midweek, but manager Bielsa does not think Norwich will be an easy team to beat.
“Norwich are a team that play better than the points they have,” Bielsa told reporters ahead of the game.
“They won their first game and their enthusiasm will be very high.”
Norwich manager Daniel Farke has spoken about his respect for the Leeds squad following their impressive start to the season.
"Leeds have the quality and many players that are able to take chances and score," Farke said at a pre-match conference.
"The team look well organised and pretty good. It is too early to judge after four games, football is about the long-term performances so we will judge it after six or seven months. But so far big compliments to them and we have lots of respect."
