Agbonlahor makes ‘scary’ Leeds claim ahead of Norwich clash
It’s “scary times” for Leeds United and Sunday’s game against Norwich City is a must-win, according to Gabby Agbonlahor.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the ex-Aston Villa and England attacker backed Leeds to win “comfortably” and suggested Marcelo Bielsa will be eyeing a 4-0 victory.
The Whites have won just one of their opening nine Premier League games and hover just three points above the bottom three.
Meanwhile, Norwich have endured a horror start and have amassed just two points so far this term.
They were hammered 7-0 by European champions Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last weekend.
Speaking in his pre-game press conference, Bielsa claimed they will “multiply their efforts” against Leeds to atone for the heavy defeat.
“Leeds need a win,” Agbonlahor told Football Insider correspondent Connor Whitley.
“It’s scary times for Leeds. They’re down there at the bottom of the table on six points.
“It’s nowhere near as good as it was last season. I’m sure Bielsa is thinking, this is the game, let’s give them a good beating, 3-0 or 4-0, get the players who haven’t scored this season to get a goal and start pushing on.
“They don’t want to be the first team to lose to Norwich, especially with how poor Norwich have been. You don’t want to be that team.
“I’m sure Leeds will get the job done and beat Norwich comfortably.”
Leeds last played Norwich in February 2019 as Norwich ran out 3-1 winners as they romped to the Championship title.
The Whites won 3-0 at the last meeting at Carrow Road thanks to goals from Mateusz Klich, Ezgjan Alioski and Pablo Hernandez.
