Sutton's predictions: Fulham v Bournemouth

Sutton's predictions v Emma-Jean Thackray

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against a variety of guests.

This week, he takes on musician Emma-Jean Thackray, who is a Leeds fan.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

What a result for Fulham last time out. Marco Silva's side only snatched their win over Chelsea right at the end at Stamford Bridge, but they fully deserved it.

Bournemouth are on a great run too, although they have cost me some predictions points by drawing their past two home games when I thought they would win.

So, who do I go for here? Both teams are on a run of six games without defeat, so it is a tough call.

The easiest thing to go for would be a draw, especially since Fulham have drawn their past three games at Craven Cottage, but I am going to be brave and choose a winner, and I am backing Silva's side.

I am a little surprised that Silva doesn't get linked with big jobs anymore when they become available.

Maybe that is because he was seen as under-achieving at Everton when he finished eighth in 2018-19. But if you look at what has happened to them since, when you look back, he was a success at Goodison Park.

Emma-Jean's prediction: 1-1

Fulham are doing well, and Bournemouth are flying. I feel like my crystal ball is telling me this will be a draw.
