Sutton's predictions against Emma-Jean Thackray

(BBC)

Chris Sutton makes predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season against a variety of visitors.

This week he faces off against musician Emma-Jean Thackray, who is a Leeds fan.

Sutton’s prediction: 1-1

Nottingham Forest keep winning, but although Everton are on a run of three draws, they got them against Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City, in games where everyone expected them to be beaten – including me.

Everton have achieved these results through their resilience, but I thought Iliman Ndiaye’s equalizer against City was a great strike. It was a goal of pure beauty the way he took it and it feels like they are always a threat.

Forest also defended well – they had less than 30% possession in the 1-0 win over Tottenham but still found a way to win.

Their centre-back pairing of Nikola Milenkovic and Murillo have been the best in the Premier League this season, and their right-back Ola Aina is also in phenomenal form.

Anthony Elanga, who scored the winner against Spurs, also has a decent points streak and it will be difficult for Everton to stop them.

However, I think Sean Dyche’s side will surprise a few people here again and I expect them to get another draw.

Emma Jeans Prediction: 0-2

Jack Harrison hasn’t exactly endeared himself to Leeds fans with the way he left us for Everton, so the kid in me wants to see an own goal from him or something like that and a Forest win .
