Chris Sutton’s Premier League Predictions: Leicester City vs. Wolves

Chris Sutton is providing forecasts for all 380 Premier League matches this season, engaging with a variety of guests. For week 17, his guest is Jon McClure, the singer from Reverend & the Makers. Sutton’s prediction is a 1-1 draw. Wolves have recently appointed Vitor Pereira as the successor to Gary O’Neil. However, they might be without their top attacking player, Matheus Cunha, due to suspension, which would be a significant loss. The team will likely be hoping for a similar boost in results that Leicester experienced after Ruud van Nistelrooy became their manager a few weeks ago, though Sutton believes the Foxes were “quite fortunate in some of those games.” Leicester has demonstrated “some spirit” under Van Nistelrooy, but they remain “heavily reliant on Jamie Vardy up front” and are “still leaking goals.” Wolves face “even bigger problems at the back,” so Pereira might attempt to “shut up shop.” Nevertheless, Sutton questions their capability to do so, noting “they are still the same players that conceded so many goals under O’Neil.” McClure’s prediction is also 1-1, stating that Wolves possess “enough quality to nab a draw here.”
