Dean Smith bemoans Norwich City misfortune and fixture schedule ahead of Leeds United clash

Norwich City manager Dean Smith has slammed the Premier League for deciding to reschedule their game against Chelsea within three days of facing Leeds United.

The Canaries are set to face the European champions on Thursday night at Carrow Road, before travelling to Leeds United on Sunday - leaving less than 72 hours between the two matches.

This is the same for the Whites, however, who take on Aston Villa in midweek after the initial fixture was postponed in December due to a Covid-19 outbreak. Newcastle United, Southampton, Aston Villa, Wolves, Watford and Chelsea also face quick turnarounds.
