Chris Sutton’s Premier League Predictions – Matchday 14 Assessment
As we look at Chris Sutton’s Premier League predictions for Matchday 14 of the 2023-24 season, it has to be said that this is one of Sutton’s finer weeks. Is this a sign of the EPL settling down and the table is taking its end-of-season form? Let’s take a look:
- Perfect Score Predictions: Chris Sutton accurately predicted just three of the match scores in week 14. He saw that Everton would be victorious by a single goal over Forest as well as Chelsea netting 3 against Brighton’s 2. He was also right to say that West Ham and Place would share the spoils with a goal apiece.
- Correct Result Predictions: Sutton correctly predicted the outcome (win, draw, or loss) for an impressive 5 matches this week. While some of these results may have been on the easier side to predict whoever thought that, based on current form, Man Utd would bag 3 points from Newcastle?
- Wrong Predictions: Sutton came away from matchday 14 with just one incorrect prediction. Being fair to Sutton, form would suggest that Burnley were well on their way to thumping Sheffield United so no one can really blame him for a wrong call here.
This far into the season, Sutton seems to be getting into his swing. What will matchday 15 have in store? Join us again to find out.
