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?

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 pressure is growing on Manchester United boss Michael Carrick, but can his side sign off for the three-week international break by beating Fulham on Sunday? For teams who have had a bad start to the season, United being one of them, it could be a horrible few weeks, said BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton. Any negativity is going to just fester, really. There will be speculation about his future, along with all the talk about whether this is a good time to replace your manager. United are not the only team to have made a bad start, but there is a lot to ponder on for them at the moment. It makes this weekend even more important.

New Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca has made a table-topping start, but will his 100% Premier League record survive Sunday's short trip to Old Trafford? Marcus Rashford is fit and has looked a threat when I've seen him play, said BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton. Because of that, I can see Manchester United scoring. But United have conceded twice against Hull, Ipswich and Everton, so why wouldn't they ship goals against City too? Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against AI, BBC Sport readers and a variety of guests. For week four, he takes on Dorking Wanderers manager Marc White. White's story as founder, player and manager of his own club was the subject of a docuseries,, external which racked up more than half a billion views by the end of 2025.

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.

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.

The score is Machines 1-0 Humans - at least when it comes to predicting football results, anyway. AI - in this case Microsoft chatbot CoPilot - finished top of the BBC predictions league at the first attempt last season, but will it stay there? BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton, his guests and the BBC readers will be hoping to strike back, and land a blow for the human race. It was a final-day defeat for me, that is how close I came to the title, Sutton said. But I keep reading how AI models are going rogue and attacking each other. So, was I hacked too? It sounds like cheating to me - if so, then last season should really go down as a victory for me.

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.

Forget the scrap for survival between Tottenham and West Ham, the real battle on the final day of the Premier League season is humans versus machines. The outcome of the BBC predictions title race has gone to the wire, and BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton is the only one who can stop AI - Microsoft chatbot Copilot - from taking the glory. With one round of fixtures to go, they are level on outright wins - which is the decisive metric. Sutton is in second place because he has managed fewer tied victories, so he needs another outright win on Sunday to finish top of the table. The BBC readers and the guests have put up a pretty pathetic fight, said Sutton. It is just down to me now.
