Chris Sutton makes ‘impressive’ David Moyes admission in Everton prediction v Wolves

Everton prepare for a trip to Wolves on Saturday as David Moyes looks to continue his impressive form since taking the reigns at Goodison Park.

Since returning to Merseyside, the Scotsman is unbeaten in seven of his eight Premier League games, which has left Chris Sutton full of praise.
Although the Toffees have seen an upturn in form, they sit just one place above Wolves in the Premier League table so a victory would almost guarantee survival.
Sutton offers Moyes verdict in prediction

Everton have seen their form improve dramatically under Moyes, lifting them 15 points clear of the relegation zone.

However, Everton do sit 16th in the table, putting them just two places above the drop zone and one place above their opponents on Saturday.
Things are certainly looking up at Goodison Park and the boss will no doubt be eager to carry on with his good form leaving the relegation fight to Wolves and the sides below them both in the table.

Although Sutton may have expected Moyes to slip up in recent weeks, the pundit has caved, writing for BBC Sport: “I keep on expecting Everton to slip up under David Moyes but it has not happened yet.
“I think their fans are quite enjoying seeing me writing them off, and then being proved wrong when they get a positive result. Since losing his first game back in charge, against Aston Villa, Moyes has won four and drawn three in the Premier League, which is seriously impressive.

“Bearing that in mind, I am not going to predict an Everton defeat here, but this game smells of a draw to me even though Wolves will be without the suspended Matheus Cunha. Cunha lost the plot at the end of their FA Cup defeat by Bournemouth and is waiting to discover what his punishment will be.

“Wolves are five points ahead of Ipswich and Leicester, who are 18th and 19th, so they do have some breathing space above the bottom three. Five points feels like a massive advantage at the moment, but we will find out over the next few weeks exactly how much Cunha has cost them in their fight against relegation. Prediction: 1-1.”
Sutton may have finally accepted defeat on his views on Moyes, appreciating the impressive work he has done at Goodison Park, but he is still reluctant to back a victory for Everton.

However, the Blues have been thriving under their new management and despite being written off by many at the time of his arrival, have enjoyed proving those people wrong.

Therefore, this prediction could well spur Everton on even more as they continue to build the momentum in Merseyside.
