Sutton's predictions: Newcastle v Luton
- Published
BBC pundit Chris Sutton is taking on Ski Sunday presenter Ed Leigh for this weekend's Premier League predictions.
Sutton's prediction: 3-1
Both of these sides had impressive wins in midweek. Luton also beat Newcastle at Kenilworth Road before Christmas, and their confidence will have grown since then.
The Magpies will want revenge for that defeat and I have a feeling they will get it. Alexander Isak's injury is a blow but I think they have enough goals in their team even if he is not fit for this game.
Beating Aston Villa ended a four-game losing run in the league for Eddie Howe's side and it does suggest they are back on track after all the speculation that they would have to sell players in January. Now they need to put a run of results together if they want to qualify for European football, because the race is really on there.
Ed's prediction: A big call this. Newcastle have just ended a four-game losing streak in the league and they are at home so I do think they are going to win. Luton will have their tails up but they do leak a few goals so I'm going with a high score here. 3-2
