Luton v Bournemouth: Sutton's predictions
- Published
Chris Sutton is making predictions for every Premier League game this season against a variety of guests.
For this weekend's games, he takes on darts stars Luke Littler and Nathan Aspinall, who both support Manchester United.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1
Luton have had a couple of bad results which have hit their hopes of staying up hard, but the one that will really haunt them if they go down is their collapse from 3-0 up to lose 4-3 to Bournemouth on 13 March.
The Hatters keep on running teams close, but keep on being on the wrong side of close scorelines. How can they change that? Well, keeping a clean sheet feels vital to me given their situation, and they haven't managed one of those since their last league win, over Brighton on 30 January.
They have proved they have got a goal or two in them, now they need to improve at the back - but I don't think they will keep a clean sheet against Bournemouth.
The Cherries seem to have got the balance right between defence and attack and the run they are on has taken them towards the top half of the table.
Littler's prediction: Luton have got Ross Barkley going box to box. I am a big fan of his. 2-1
Aspinall's prediction: I don't actually think Luton are as bad as their results have been recently. I've gone for four away teams so far, so I am going for a home win here. 2-1
