Chris Sutton Predicts Newcastle vs West Ham
Former footballer Chris Sutton is back with his predictions for this weekend’s Premier League matches. This time, he goes head-to-head with Gladiators star Bionic. The match in focus is Newcastle vs West Ham, and Sutton believes the Magpies will come out on top with a 2-1 victory.
Newcastle’s Season So Far
Newcastle’s hopes of winning a trophy were dashed when they were knocked out of the FA Cup before the international break. With their only focus now being on their Premier League campaign, manager Eddie Howe will be looking to finish the season strongly. The Magpies are currently four points behind West Ham in the league table, with a game in hand, so a win in this match could be crucial for them.

West Ham’s Form and European Hopes
On the other hand, West Ham have been more consistent this season and are still in the running for a European spot. They are set to face Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League quarter-finals, which gives them added motivation to perform well in the league. Manager David Moyes has faced criticism from fans recently, but a strong finish to the season could silence his detractors.
The Prediction
Despite Newcastle’s defensive struggles this season, Sutton believes they have enough attacking threat to edge past West Ham in this match. Bionic, on the other hand, predicts a 2-1 win for the Hammers, citing their consistency and Newcastle’s inconsistency as the deciding factors. It will be interesting to see which prediction comes true on matchday.
Conclusion
Both Newcastle and West Ham have a lot to play for in this match, with European spots and league positions up for grabs. The outcome could have a significant impact on both teams’ seasons, so expect an exciting and closely contested encounter.

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches again this season, against a variety of guests.
For this weekend’s games, he takes on Gladiators star Bionic.
Sutton’s prediction: 2-1
Newcastle’s hopes of a trophy ended when they were knocked out of the FA Cup before the international break so it feels like a big end to the season for their manager Eddie Howe, starting now.
The same applies to West Ham boss David Moyes too, because there has been plenty of speculation about his future too, as well as criticism from fans.
But the Hammers are still in Europe, with a Europa League quarter-final against Bayer Leverkusen to look forward to, while Newcastle’s campaign has unravelled a bit in the past few weeks.
League position is all Newcastle have to play for now and I don’t think Howe can afford to let this campaign peter out. They are four points behind seventh-place West Ham with a game in hand, so a win here would be massive for them.
And, while Howe’s side have not been as strong defensively this season, I still always feel they have a goal in them. That’s why I reckon they will edge this.
Bionic’s prediction: 1-2
Newcastle have been very up and down all season. Their schedule affected them at the start and they have had a number of injuries as well. West Ham have been more consistent and I think they will take the win here.
