Chris Sutton and Brad Kella Offer Premier League Predictions for Nottingham Forest vs. West Ham

Football pundit Chris Sutton is presenting his forecasts for all 380 Premier League matches this season, featuring a variety of guests. For the tenth week of the competition, he is joined by Brad Kella, the winner of The Piano TV series. Sutton’s prediction for the match is a 2-1 victory for Nottingham Forest. He acknowledged West Ham’s recent positive result against Manchester United, which he believes would have boosted their morale, but still felt they were “fortunate” to win that game. Sutton elaborated, “I’m not talking about their late penalty that gave them victory, more the fact United should have been out of sight by half-time. So, am I convinced the Hammers have turned things round under Julen Lopetegui? No, not at all.” In contrast, Sutton expressed strong approval for Nottingham Forest’s current performance, stating they are “flying” and appreciating the “nice balance to their team” this season. He revealed his personal connection to the club, having been born in Nottingham and supported Forest as a child, and declared his intention to resume his support given their current style of play. Sutton playfully invited being labeled a “fair weather fan,” citing his general fondness for “forests” and “woods,” specifically mentioning Chris Wood, and also being “a big fan of Sherwood on iPlayer.” He lauded Chris Wood, the ‘Wood-chopper,’ as “one of the most underrated strikers of the Premier League era,” and backed him to score again, anticipating another win for Forest. Brad Kella, offering his own forecast, predicted a 1-0 win for Forest, stating simply that “Forest are doing well and they should win this.” Readers can access the complete predictions and contribute their own opinions.
