Sutton predicts Man Utd 1-3 Villa, Chelsea win at Sunderland in EPL matchday 10
Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton has released his Premier League matchday 10 predictions via BBC Sport, backing Aston Villa to hammer Manchester United 3-1 at Old Trafford on Sunday and Chelsea to edge Sunderland 2-1 at the Stadium of Light.
Sutton's full slate: Everton 2-0 Coventry (Friday), Fulham 2-1 Newcastle, Arsenal 2-0 Hull City, Man City 2-1 Nottingham Forest (all Saturday), then Brighton 2-1 Brentford, Palace 0-2 Liverpool, Ipswich 1-1 Bournemouth, Sunderland 1-2 Chelsea, and United 1-3 Villa on Sunday. Leeds vs Spurs ends 1-1 in his view.
For Nigerian fans who live and breathe the EPL — whether for fantasy leagues, betting slips, or pure passion — Sutton's track record as a pundit makes these worth noting. He correctly tipped City's title charge last season and nailed several big-game upsets.
The Villa prediction stands out: United's defensive frailties meet Emery's high-octane system. Chelsea's away form gets a Sunderland test. Arsenal should handle Hull at Emirates.
Which of Sutton's scorelines matches your instinct for this weekend — or are you backing United to prove the pundits wrong at Old Trafford?
