Luton Town v Newcastle: Sutton's predictions
- Published
Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches again this season, against a variety of guests.
For this weekend's games, he takes on Felix White, guitarist with 86TVs and a Fulham fan.
Sutton's prediction: 1-2
First and foremost, it's a relief that Luton captain Tom Lockyer is in a stable condition after his collapse during the Bournemouth game.
Luton have been really competitive at Kenilworth Road but they've still only won one out of eight league matches there this season, and picked up five points in total.
Mind you, Newcastle's away form is hardly convincing either. It is actually identical to Luton's home record in terms of wins and points, so there is plenty of room for improvement.
Eddie Howe's side have got to address that if they want to challenge for the top four and I think they will address it here, although it is going to be close.
Felix's prediction: 3-2
I think what happened at Luton last week with Tom Lockyer will inspire them this time. They have been great in every single game at home this season, without getting much reward.
So, for that reason, I think fortune will balance out and the emotive feeling in that ground is going to change something. It will be another smasher of a game and, this time, Luton will win.
