Sutton's predictions: Ipswich v Leicester

Chris Sutton's predictions v The Piano winner Brad Kella
  • Published

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against a variety of guests.

For week 10 he takes on The Piano TV series winner Brad Kella.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

I said last week that I was never going to predict another Ipswich win again this season, but I have changed my mind.

I have got to say that they were very unlucky to lose against Brentford last time out. They deserved more from that game.

I know Alan Shearer highlighted on Match of the Day how bad their stats are - they are ranked last in the Premier League for shots, expected goals and touches in opposition box, and second-last for shots on target, goals conceded and errors leading to goals, but they started so well in that game, going 2-0 up.

To then find themselves trailing 3-2 and down to 10 men is bad enough, but then they got themselves level late on, before being beaten in stoppage time when Bryan Mbeumo's cross crept in. That kind of defeat is going to be tough for them to take.

I am not absolutely convinced about Leicester either but, if Ipswich don't win this time, then I am not sure what it will do to their confidence.

Life in the top flight has been difficult enough for them so far, and I think they are going down anyway, but unless they get three points soon you start to wonder whether they will beat anyone.

Brad's prediction: 1-2

I like Leicester and they can win there, I think they’ve got to.
