Match preview

Jesse Marsch felt the presence of the Elland Road faithful added more pressure and stress to his players in Thursday’s 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa and after six straight losses Leeds make little appeal at odds-on hosting rock-bottom Norwich.

Leeds showed signs of promise in Marsch’s first game in charge at Leicester, where they lost 1-0 despite winning the shot count 19-7.

However, there were few positives to take from the limp display that followed against Villa, where they registered only four shots and forced just one save from visiting keeper Emiliano Martinez.

Injury problems persist but they are in a precarious position and have failed to score in six of their eight league games since the end of January.

But basement boys Norwich are also on a run of five consecutive losses and in a relegation six-pointer, tensions are going to be running high.

The Canaries are the lowest scorers in the Premier League with just 17 goals in 28 games, notching seven times away from home, and on what is sure to be a nervy occasion, take one or both of the struggling teams not to find the net.

Key stat

Leeds have conceded 16 Premier League goals since they last scored.
