Premier League predictions: Chris Sutton v DJ & producer Sherelle

I am at this game for Radio 5 Live and am looking forward to it. It is so hard to call, because of where both teams are at.

Everton will work hard, of course, but they are also very capable of winning this if they are as ‘in your face’ as they can be, and upset City’s rhythm.

If Pep Guardiola’s side play like they did against Nottingham Forest a few weeks ago, and don’t really get going, then they are going to get turned over.

On the other hand, City really caught fire after almost going 3-0 down against Palace last week. If they play like that, they will win – but you are never quite sure what you are going to get from them in each half at the moment, let alone game to game.

So, it is hard to know how the game will pan out. Everton will not be overly expansive or bothered about possession and will pick their moments when they throw Abdoulaye Doucoure forward.

They will be direct and Beto will run in behind, and I definitely see them scoring, but I am still going with City to edge this, somehow. They have to, really, because they are under pressure to make the top five.

I held the record for the fastest goal scored at Goodison in its 132-year history until Doucoure scored after 10.18 seconds against Leicester in February, beating my effort for Blackburn after 12.94 seconds in 1995.

That’s still the fastest goal scored there by an away player, though, so hopefully no-one manages a quicker one before the end of the season – especially when I am there to talk about it as co-commentator.

Sutton’s prediction: 1-2

Sherelle’s prediction: Everton are quite annoying in that they are difficult to break down. I actually think they will score first, but City are on a relatively good run and they have shown recently they can respond if they go behind. 1-3
