Chris Sutton’s Match Predictions: Leicester v Brighton

Chris Sutton, a football pundit, is providing forecasts for every one of the 380 Premier League fixtures throughout the current season, often alongside different guests. For the fifteenth week, his predictions are pitted against those of Dougie Payne, who is the bassist for the rock band Travis. Sutton’s prediction: 0-3. His commentary on the match included: “I am not fooled by what Leicester did against West Ham, as big a win as it was for them. The Hammers wasted so many chances, and the Foxes’ defensive issues have clearly not gone away. Well done to new Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy, but he has got a hell of a job on his hands to keep them up. I did not see Brighton’s defeat at Fulham coming, because the Seagulls have been so impressive. They will be angry after that performance, and looking to prove a point. Away win, no doubt about it.” Payne’s prediction: 2-2. His assessment was: “Leicester look like a different team under Van Nistelrooy – it is kind of like what has happened with Ruben Amorim at Manchester United, where the players all look like they have just got out of jail. Brighton have really impressed me this season, and I feel like there could be some goals here.” Further details on the predictions and an opportunity for reader engagement are available via the provided link.
