Sutton’s predictions: West Ham v Everton

Must read

[BBC]

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

For week 11 he takes on Mylee and Tate from CBBC football drama Jamie Johnson FC (JJFC).

Sutton’s prediction: 2-2

West Ham are in trouble. As I said on the Monday Night Club, they don’t really have an identity under Julen Lopetegui.

He has always been a pragmatic manager in my eyes but they want to be a more expansive side and he is stuck somewhere in between at the moment.

There is a lot of uncertainty around them at present, and I am certainly not convinced by them at home. They beat Manchester United there a couple of weeks ago, but they were lucky to win that one.

While the Hammers are still above Everton in the table, the Toffees’ had been in better form, but then they lost at struggling Southampton last week, which is a disappointing defeat whichever way you look at it.

The only team Everton have beaten away this season is Ipswich, so I would not feel confident backing them to bounce back with a win here.

I don’t want to pick another draw, but this has got one written all over it.

Mylee’s prediction: 2-0

I am definitely backing my team here!

Tate’s prediction: 1-2

I played for West Ham but they have had a few defeats recently so Everton might edge this.
