Chris Sutton is providing predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, often in collaboration with various guests. For week 10, he is joined by Brad Kella, the winner of The Piano TV series. Sutton’s prediction for the match outcome is 2-1. Sutton stated that he had previously decided against predicting another Ipswich victory this season but has since changed his mind. He remarked that Ipswich was very unlucky to lose against Brentford in their last outing, believing they deserved a better result from that game. Sutton acknowledged that Alan Shearer had highlighted on Match of the Day the poor statistics for Ipswich, noting they are ranked last in the Premier League for shots, expected goals, and touches in the opposition box, and second-last for shots on target, goals conceded, and errors leading to goals. However, Sutton pointed out that Ipswich had started their previous game strongly, taking a 2-0 lead. He further described how Ipswich subsequently found themselves trailing 3-2 and reduced to 10 men. Despite equalizing late in the match, they were ultimately defeated in stoppage time when Bryan Mbeumo’s cross entered the net. Sutton commented that such a defeat would be difficult for them to accept. Sutton also expressed some uncertainty regarding Leicester, but emphasized that if Ipswich fails to win this match, he is unsure of the impact on their confidence. He observed that life in the top flight has been challenging for them thus far, and while he believes they are likely to be relegated, he questioned whether they would beat anyone unless they secure three points soon. Brad Kella’s prediction for the match is 1-2. Kella expressed his liking for Leicester, stating his belief that they can win the match and that they must do so.
