Chris Sutton’s Premier League Predictions: Manchester United vs. Chelsea

Chris Sutton offers predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, often alongside various guests. For week 10, he faces off against Brad Kella, the winner of The Piano TV series. Sutton’s prediction: 1-1 Ruud van Nistelrooy, Manchester United’s interim boss, enjoyed a favorable outcome against Leicester City in the Carabao Cup during midweek. Chelsea’s players are anticipated to be well-rested, as their squad that lost to Newcastle United in the same competition on Wednesday was entirely different from the side that defeated the Magpies in the league on Sunday. However, Sutton noted that Newcastle did create chances against Chelsea last weekend, and he observed Chelsea’s brave performance against Liverpool recently at Anfield. He considers Chelsea to be the superior team in this encounter and believes they will win. Yet, he suggests that if they play with an open style again at Old Trafford, it could suit Manchester United and enable them to get something from the match. Brad’s prediction: 0-3 Brad Kella asserts that Chelsea will secure a victory and predicts a Cole Palmer hat-trick. He characterizes Pep Guardiola’s decision to sell Palmer as a significant mistake, stating that the player “is just unbelievable.”
