BBC pundit, Chris Sutton has revealed he’s backing Chelsea to return from their Wednesday trip to Manchester with a win.

The Blues will take on Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday night, in hopes of getting three more points in the bag after Sunday’s victory against Brighton.

Sutton believes the game will not be easy for the two sides, although he’s now backing Chelsea to win it 2-1.

The ex-Chelsea man told BBC Sport: “Manchester United were woeful at St James’ Park on Saturday and it looked like some of their players couldn’t be bothered.

“Before the game, Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was saying how Newcastle United had an extra day to prepare after their Champions League game in midweek, which I don’t think was a great message to put out, but he ended up being let down badly by some of his players.

“They weren’t prepared to run, while Newcastle ran all over them and should have won by more than 1-0.

“I am sure we will see more effort here, in front of their own fans, but I think we have to remember where Manchester United are at – they are seventh, but none of their eight league wins this season have come against sides in the top half of the table.

“So, I think this game is definitely winnable for Chelsea, even though they remain very inconsistent. They looked a bit better organised in their win over Brighton and I can see them causing Ten Hag’s problems at the back.

“Sutton’s prediction: 1-2.”
