Premier League predictions: Chris Sutton v boxer Francesca Hennessy

I mentioned earlier how Forest had ‘Dyched’ Brentford last week, and it really was a classic Dyche performance.

They add new words to the Oxford English Dictionary every year and ‘Dyched’ should make it in for 2026.

‘Dyched’ means “well structured but dull” by the way – you can use it when a team is unadventurous but gets the job done.

I can see the same thing happening to Crystal Palace too.

Forest will move level on points with them if they win this. I hope I am wrong but I do think Palace will end up in a relegation battle.

I do not like saying this about any manager but they should sack Oliver Glasner – he is going at the end of the season anyway, and it feels like a lot of their players want away too.

Glasner has done a brilliant job but the fact everyone knows he is going means they have to move on from him now, before things get worse. Being brutally honest, I do not see any upside to him staying on.

If he stays, they are going to end up getting sucked in by Leeds and West Ham, as well as Forest. Although, the way my predictions have been going this season, that probably means he will stay and steer them into Europe again.

Sutton’s prediction: 1-0

Francesca’s prediction: I like Palace a lot. I know they are on a bad run but I still think they will win. 1-2

AI’s prediction: 1-1
