Sutton’s predictions: Aston Villa v Everton
-
Published
Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against a variety of guests.
For week four, he takes on Femi Koleoso and Ife Ogunjobi from jazz band Ezra Collective, the 2023 Mercury Music Prize winners.
Sutton’s prediction: 2-0
Everton boss Sean Dyche is under the pump after their capitulation against Bournemouth last time out. It feels like some of their fans have turned against Dyche now, which I think is ridiculous, but he does need a result and unfortunately for him Villa Park is not a place I see Everton getting anything.
The Toffees got hammered 4-0 there last season and, although they will put up a fight, they are not going to get a result on this occasion either.
How many goals Villa get might depend on whether Ollie Watkins is fit. He’s in my Fantasy team, which is bad news for him anyway, but he is an injury doubt after pulling out of the England squad.
Koleoso’s prediction: 2-0
Leon Bailey to score, and Villa to win.
Ogunjobi prediction: 2-0
