Newcastle United lost to Arsenal in the Premier League on Monday.
The former Chelsea striker made the prediction following Newcastle’s 2-0 defeat to Arsenal away from home at the Emirates Stadium in North London in the Premier League on Monday evening.
The result means that Rafael Benitez’s side are now 14th in the league table with 35 points from 32 matches, seven points clear of the relegation zone.
Sutton does not believe that Newcastle will get relegated from the Premier League at the end of the season.
The former Celtic striker, though, was not impressed with the performance of West Bromwich Albion-owned Newcastle United striker Salomon Rondon.
Rondon, who joined Newcastle on loan from Championship club West Brom in the summer of 2018, started the match and played for the entire 90 minutes.
According to WhoScored, against Arsenal, the 29-year-old striker took two shots, had a pass accuracy of 68%, won six headers, and played one key pass.
Sutton told BBC Sport: “Newcastle are too good to go down. They’re a well-organised outfit, a structure about them, they have a way of playing now. The gap is too big between them and Cardiff.”
The BBC Sport pundit added: “Sokratis has handled Rondon pretty well. Rondon will be slightly disappointed with his hold-up play tonight.”
