Sutton believes one of his former clubs, Villa, will get a point against struggling West Ham United whilst he expects Wolves to lose yet again with Newcastle United taking all three points home from Molineux.
On Villa, the ex-forward said: “Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard hung his hat on Philippe Coutinho and left him out last week to start with Emiliano Buendia instead, but things did not happen for them in their defeat at Crystal Palace.”
“Villa had a disappointing opening display against Bournemouth, too. I know they beat Everton, but things are not quite clicking and it is a big game for them with home advantage.”
He went on to add that he believes the Hammers will eventually get going after three losses in a row but with a few injuries at centre-half, expects this one to play out as a draw.

In regards to Wolves, he quickly pointed towards their lack of cutting-edge in front of goal as a reason why he feels they will fall short once again.
“Wolves just don’t score,” he claimed.
“They create numerous opportunities and have some talented players, I don’t know how long we have said this about them but it is just that finishing touch.
“Because of that, I think they might come a cropper against Newcastle, who were absolutely brilliant against Manchester City in the 3-3 draw at St James’ Park last weekend.”
