Chris Sutton’s Premier League Predictions: Nottingham Forest vs. Ipswich

Chris Sutton is providing predictions for every one of the 380 Premier League matches throughout the current season, engaging with various guests. For the 13th week, he is joined by boxer Sunny Edwards, a known Chelsea supporter. Sutton’s specific prediction for the game is 2-1. Sutton noted that he is often perceived as petty regarding his predictions, sometimes using them to make a point. He therefore reminded Ipswich fans that he accurately predicted their 1-1 draw with Manchester United last week, a prediction that secured him victory in that particular round of games. He also stated his belief that many Ipswich fans were pleased for him, demonstrating that his allegiance to Norwich does not translate into holding grudges against them. Turning to the current week’s fixture, Sutton expressed his hope that Ipswich would be “absolutely pumped” by Nottingham Forest on Saturday. He clarified that his support for Forest stems solely from them being his boyhood team. However, he cautioned that if Forest’s performance mirrors their previous home game against Newcastle, he would return his replica shirt to the club shop and abandon his support once more. On a more serious note, Sutton stated his appreciation for the Ipswich team, acknowledging their good players and attractive style of football. He believed they deserved to defeat United and would have done so were it not for “a couple of superb saves by Andre Onana.” Nevertheless, Sutton anticipated Forest’s recovery at the City Ground following two consecutive defeats. He emphasized that Chris Wood “has to be back in the team” after being benched for last weekend’s loss against Arsenal, asserting that if Wood plays, Forest “will come out on top.” Edwards’ prediction for the match is 1-1. Edwards commented that Ipswich performed well against United and noted that their striker, Liam Delap, is “very sought after,” adding, “we are one of the teams who are supposed to be after him.” Readers are invited to review the complete predictions and share their opinions.
