Chris Sutton makes bold 'this is where it changes' claim ahead of Leicester vs Leeds United

Chris Sutton believes Leeds United will finally get the three points their performances have deserved when they take on Leicester City at the Kind Power later this week. Just four points separates the two sides heading into the game, with Leeds having not won in the Premier League since their emphatic win over Chelsea in August.

Leicester on the other hand have won just once all season and have struggled at both ends of the pitch. They'll also be without talisman James Maddison for the game, who will serve a suspension.

Sutton admits he likes the Whites' playing style under Jesse Marsch and is expecting a change in fortune this time out.

Sutton told BBC Sport: "Leicester are without the hugely influential James Maddison, who is suspended after he was booked for his late dive against Crystal Palace. He will rue that dive, because it could cost his team here.

"Leeds have not got the results their play has deserved on a few occasions this season, including their defeat to Arsenal at the weekend when they played with great intensity. This is where all of that changes, because I am backing them to get a break or two at King Power Stadium.

"Leeds boss Jesse Marsch talks his team up in defeat like no other manager - if you listened to him, you would think they had won every game - but I like their playing style and it deserves greater rewards."

Sutton's prediction: 1-4
