Sutton’s predictions: Brighton v Wolves

Must read

[BBC]

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

For week nine he takes on rapper Nemzzz, who supports Manchester United.

Sutton’s prediction: 2-1

I disagreed with Wolves boss Gary O’Neil because I thought it was correct not to disallow Manchester City’s last-gasp winner last weekend.

O’Neil was clutching at straws to compare it to the goal Max Kilman had ruled out against West Ham last season because, unlike Bernardo Silva for City, in that incident Tawanda Chirewa was offside and directly in the goalkeeper’s way.

I felt for O’Neil because Wolves played really well, although in the end I was only four goals out with my prediction of a 6-1 City win.

This is another tough game for them, against a Brighton side who got a really good win at Newcastle last week.

So can Wolves drag themselves up again after giving so much and coming close to getting a point against the champions?

I am really tempted to go for them to get a draw but, although they deserved to get more than one point from their first eight games, they have been inconsistent.

Wolves have definitely got a goal in them, but I am going with Brighton to take the points.

Nemzzz’s prediction: 1-1

Brighton are flying but I don’t think Wolves are as bad as the league table suggests.
