Sutton's predictions v Waffle the Wonder Dog and his owner, Simon
Manchester City have won their first seven Premier League games of the season but will their 100% record survive Saturday's trip to an improving Aston Villa side? Villa have beaten City in this fixture in each of the past three years under Unai Emery, said BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton. They will fancy it this time too - they are seven unbeaten in all competitions, and flying at the moment. Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against AI, BBC Sport readers and a variety of guests. For week eight, he takes on Waffle the Wonder Dog and his owner Simon, who is played by actor James Merry. Waffle's After School Club, featuring James and Waffle, is available on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer right now, with lots of fun after-school adventures for families to enjoy together. Do you agree with their predictions?
Sutton's predictions v boxer & Ipswich fan Fabio Wardley
The pressure is mounting on Manchester United boss Michael Carrick after his side's poor start, but will things improve when they face rivals Leeds on Saturday? I cannot remember the last time Leeds were seen as favourites going into this fixture but I don't fancy Manchester United's chances at all, said BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton. Leeds are just a much more rounded team. Their fans must be relishing this game. Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against AI, BBC Sport readers and a variety of guests. For week seven, he takes on former heavyweight boxing world champion Fabio Wardley, who supports Ipswich Town .

The key findings and recommendations from the Lucy Letby inquiry
To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. A report into how serial killer Lucy Letby was able to murder seven babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital has found that some deaths could have been prevented. Letby is serving 15 whole-life prison terms for murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven more. She was convicted in 2023 and has twice been denied permission to appeal against her convictions. Responding to the report, the hospital says it is sorry for the events that occurred in 2015 and 2016, and it's a different organisation today with new leadership, stronger governance and safety processes.

Sutton's predictions v Kasabian frontman Serge Pizzorno
Arsenal and Chelsea have both made 100% winning starts to the new season - but something has to give when they meet at Emirates Stadium on Sunday. I suspect Chelsea will give Arsenal lots of the ball and try to counter-attack quickly, said BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton. The Blues have got some brilliant creativity in Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers and Joao Pedro, but the fact they are vulnerable at the back could undermine them. Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against AI, BBC Sport readers and a variety of guests. For week three, he takes on Kasabian frontman Serge Pizzorno, who is a Leicester City fan. Kasabian's ninth album, Act III, is out on Friday, 4 September, and they tour the UK in December.
Sutton's predictions v Royal Blood drummer Ben Thatcher
Defending champions Arsenal made an impressive start to the season against newly promoted Coventry but face a tougher test against Aston Villa on Monday. But with the number of outgoings at Villa Park, will it be another eye-opener for Unai Emery's men after last week's heavy defeat by Brighton? BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton thinks so. There's only one winner with this, he said. Aston Villa had a slow start last season, they have lost big players and I just think Arsenal are going to run all over teams this season. I think they are going to get better and better which is ominous for everybody else. Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against AI, BBC Sport readers and a variety of guests.
Premier League predictions 2026-27: BBC Sport pundits pick their top four
Arsenal ended a 22-year wait to be Premier League champions last season, but can they successfully defend their crown? That is the next target for Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, whose side finished seven points clear of nearest rivals Manchester City last time out. So, who will challenge them in 2026-27? We asked 26 BBC TV and radio pundits to pick their top four, with explanations for their selections. We've also asked AI's opinion, and included what Opta's'supercomputer' came up with too. The AI prediction was generated using Microsoft Copilot Chat - we simply asked the tool to predict the Premier League table for the 2026-27 season. Opta's'supercomputer' is actually a complex algorithm that uses a model based on betting market odds and the sports analytics company's own'power rankings', which are calculated using past results. It has simulated the outcome of all 380 Premier League games 10,000 times and came to the same conclusion as AI, and three of the pundits. Disagree with our expert humans or think you know more than any machine? You can make your own top-four prediction, and forecast the rest of the Premier League table, at the bottom of this page.
Paul McCartney on playing guitar with Paul Mescal: 'He knew it better than I did!'
Paul McCartney on playing guitar with Paul Mescal: 'He knew it better than I did!' Hey, I know you! exclaims Paul McCartney, gripping my hand as we walk into his office in central London. And while I'm realistic enough to know he doesn't really hold treasured memories of our previous encounters, I'm impressed by his ability to defuse the tension of Meeting A Beatle. We gather in Soho at lunchtime. Instead of Wild Honey Pie or Savoy Truffle, McCartney has opted for a simple bagel (topping: a terrifying blend of Marmite and hummus), which he prepared in a kitchenette next to his assistant's desk. As he eats, he scans a printed list of film titles - mainly vintage comedies - looking for something to play at his family movie night.
Premier League predictions - how accurate were BBC Sport pundits?
Premier League predictions - how accurate were BBC Sport pundits? Last summer, 33 BBC TV and radio pundits made their predictions for the Premier League season, picking their champions and their top four. Twenty-one of them thought Liverpool would win it, and none of them got more than two clubs right. Although six pundits correctly picked Arsenal as champions, and everyone had the Gunners and Manchester City in their top four, Matthew Upson was the only one to have the top two in the order they actually finished. Martin Keown, Thomas Hitzlsperger, Sue Smith, Leon Osman and Jermaine Beckford were the other pundits who also backed Mikel Arteta's side.
