Premier League predictions: Chris Sutton v darts star Stephen Bunting

Molineux, 15:00

Do I think Wolves will score? Yes.

Do I think Ipswich will score too? Probably, because everyone scores against Wolves.

I could come out of retirement and score against Wolves, that’s how bad their backline is.

In fact, I actually think I would score more than one and I am 51.

Wolves have got some talented players but, as I’ve said previously, you cannot concede the amount of goals they do and expect to stay in the Premier League.

As for Ipswich, I was speaking to a teacher friend of mine, Mr Fields, about them this week.

As a loyal fan of the Tractor Boys, he was thinking six points was possible from their past two games, at home to Crystal Palace and Bournemouth – and they got zero.

I had said Ipswich would get a point against Palace and lose to Bournemouth, but those results still made me think I have been a bit too generous with my predictions for them this season.

Putting my Norwich loyalties to one side, anyone seeing my scores would think I had a soft spot for Ipswich, when in fact they are showing their soft centre.

So, I am going with Wolves here. I know Ipswich’s best results so far have come on the road, but I don’t think that will help them here.

It won’t make any difference where they play if their goalkeeper, Arijanet Muric, keeps making terrible decisions.

Sutton’s prediction: 2-1

Stephen’s prediction: Both teams are desperate for a win but it could end up being a game where both teams are more afraid of losing. 1-1
