Sutton's predictions: Newcastle v Ipswich Town
It's great news that Newcastle boss Eddie Howe will be back in the dug-out for this game after his stay in hospital.I don't see his side having any trouble securing the three points here, based on what I saw from Ipswich against Arsenal last week. That game just wasn't a contest, even before Leif Davis was sent is a lot at stake for the Magpies in the race for Champions League qualification, while it is just a matter of time until Ipswich's relegation is might see some anger in Newcastle's performance after their heavy defeat by Aston Villa but, ultimately, this should be a comfortable win for prediction: 3-0Read the full predictions and have your say here

'The misery dividend' - why yo-yo clubs will continue
I have nothing constructive to add into the discourse following Ipswich's Easter Sunday defeat by Arsenal. On a lovely sunny Suffolk afternoon, Leif Davis is now public enemy number one for those of a red persuasion, Town shipped another four goals at Portman Road, and ultimately nothing new was learned. Bring on the summer I found more egregious to discuss was the contents of a tweet posted by football finance expert Kieran Maguire, external on social media on explained that when Leicester and Southampton were relegated in 2022-23 and promoted back the following season, £102m in parachute payments were saved. He added that should Burnley and Leeds be promoted back to the top flight this campaign (which looks more and more likely COULD ALREADY BE SORTED, PLEASE CHECK) a further £51m will also be "savings", and hopefully you can see this coming, do not get pumped into charitable causes (at least directly), nor do they help level the playing field to the rest of the pyramid or bolster the grassroots game. No, these savings are split between Premier League clubs like some kind of misery while the gathering debate among football pundits about the increasing anti-competitive disparity between the Premier League and EFL is helpful (if not somewhat belated), it seems to be just talk while those with the power to act – the Premier League and the member clubs - do nothing, or worse are incentivised to maintain Premier League clubs benefit from certain clubs yo-yoing up and down like some kind of horrible purgatory (something I fear for my team Ipswich) and it is this group that have the influence to make chance does the wider game have? After all, turkeys don't vote for Christmas (nor eggs for Easter etc.).Find more from Richard Woodward at the Blue Monday Podcast, external

Arsenal crush Ipswich to delay Liverpool's title party
Arsenal cantered to a 4-0 victory over Ipswich Town to end Liverpool's hopes of winning the Premier League title on Sunday, with Leandro Trossard scoring twice and the hosts' Leif Davis sent off for a dangerous tackle on Bukayo Saka. Arsenal moved on to 66 points in second spot but Liverpool, who face relegation-threatened Leicester City later, still only need to win two of their remaining games to secure the crown. Keen to force Liverpool to wait to lift the trophy, the Gunners tore into their hosts from the kickoff and they took the lead in the 14th minute. After a surging run by Martin Odegaard, the ball eventually found its way to Trossard, who stroked the ball home despite losing his footing as he took the shot. Arsenal's razor-sharp second illustrated the gulf in class between the two teams as Saka went on a penetrating run down the right before squaring to Mikel Merino, and his deft flick teed up for Martinelli for a simple close-range finish.
