Sutton’s Premier League & FA Cup semi-final predictions v golf superstar Lee Westwood.
Liverpool appear certain to win the Premier League and could seal the title this weekend. But picking the FA Cup winners is a much tougher task.
Crystal Palace play Aston Villa in the first semi-final, live Saturday (17:15 BST), before Nottingham Forest face Manchester City at Wembley on Sunday.
“It’s refreshing that the FA Cup is so wide open,” Chris Sutton. “City will be seen as favourites to go on and lift it, but we know they are not the same team they were in the past few seasons.”
As well as the FA Cup, Sutton is making predictions for every Premier League game this season against a variety of guests.
Westwood will be watching Sunday’s game from Mexico and is hoping Forest can wrap up victory before he starts his round.
“I am going to get to the course early and watch it there, then go and warm up because we are playing in the afternoon,” he “If it goes to extra time then I won’t see that… but we will have won by then, obviously!”
Forest won promotion to the Premier League in a play-off final at Wembley in 2022.
Sunday is their first visit to the old or new national stadium in a cup semi-final or final since the 1992 League Cup final, when they lost to Manchester United.
“I am really looking to it,” Westwood added. “For starters it is a massive occasion for the club FA Cup semi-final for the first time since 1991. Going to Wembley and facing a hugely successful team like City have been in the past few years.
“It will be tough. The fact we are in สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน this scenario is a testament. Where Forest have got to this season, and what a great year we have had.
“We are fourth after City’s win in midweek and people saying how we could miss out on the Champions League but you just have to think back to where we were 12 months ago. When we only just stayed up.
