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

Chris Sutton is providing predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, featuring various guests. For the eleventh week, he collaborates with Mylee and Tate from the CBBC football drama “Jamie Johnson FC” (JJFC), a series set within an elite academy at the fictional Premier League club Hawx United. Sutton’s prediction for the match is 2-1. He views this encounter as primarily a contest between two strikers. Sutton expressed admiration for Alexander Isak’s header for Newcastle against Arsenal last week, describing it as a quintessential centre-forward’s finish. However, he refers to this specific game as the “Chris Wood derby,” also known as the “‘Wood Chopper’ derby,” and supports Wood to provide Nottingham Forest with the crucial advantage they need against his former team. Sutton notes that Forest is a well-balanced squad, focused on preventing goals while also possessing players capable of launching effective counter-attacks. He believes their confidence is exceptionally high and anticipates their strong performance streak will continue. Mylee’s prediction is 2-2, stating, “Forest are doing really well but Newcastle are strong too.” Tate’s prediction is 3-1, with the comment, “Forest are flying and I am going to go for another Midlands win!” Further predictions from them and an opportunity for readers to share their own views are available via the provided link.
