Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against a variety of guests.

For week 14 he takes on James Ryan, bassist with rock band The Slow Readers Club.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

Everton did well for half an hour or so against Manchester United but they just can't score - they have not found the net in any of their past four games.

In contrast, Wolves have definitely got a goal in them but their problem is that they are just so open defensively.

Gary O'Neil's side have conceded 32 goals in 13 league games, which makes me think even Everton will score against them.

This is a huge game at the bottom of the table and my first thought was to go for another draw, but I am actually going to go with the Toffees to nick the three points.

They certainly need them, with a tough run of games coming up, starting with the Merseyside derby on Saturday.

Everton manager Sean Dyche is under pressure at the moment and a section of fans appear to have really turned against him, but I don't think you can blame the club's situation on him.

Of course he carries the can for their results but he has been totally hamstrung over what he can spend on his squad, which is why they are struggling.

Ryan's prediction: 2-1

Everton could have scored a couple of goals against United, so I am going with them to win here. I don't think they are as bad as their results suggest.
