Sutton's predictions v Football Manager, the game

Is this the beginning of the rise of the machines? Last week saw AI triumph outright for the first time in our Premier League predictions battle, although BBC Sport's own expert human, Chris Sutton, points out he is still top of the overall league this season. This time, as well as AI, Sutton faces a different hi-tech challenger. His guest opponent for this weekend's fixtures is a computer game: Football Manager 26, the latest edition of the long-running management simulation series. The FM26 game engine has played out this weekend's matches and you can see its results, including goalscorers and red cards, below. Miles Jacobson, the studio director of Sports Interactive, the company behind Football Manager, also joined in.
