Sutton’s predictions v The Cut star Orlando Bloom and AI

The premier league’s pick of the matches is Liverpool vs. Arsenal on Sunday (16:30 BST), which will be the winner of the other fixtures.

BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against AI, BBC Sport readers and a variety of guests.

He has won the season’s first two weekends, but he has stressed to BBC Sport this week that he doesn’t want readers and viewers to feel as though they have already lost. I don’t want AI to become disillusioned.

” I’ve had an incredible start to the season and made it look easy but this could be the week where the wheels come off. “

He squares off against Manchester United supporter class=”ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3″>Orlando Bloom for week three.

Bloom’s new film The Cut is in UK and Irish cinemas from 5 September.

Do you concur with their evaluations? You can make your own predictions below.

The tables and scoreboards at the bottom of this page feature the most widely used scoreline for each game.

Bloom claims that because of his neighbors, he was born in Kent, that he was raised as a United fan.

” This Irish family we lived next door to, the McEvoys, were all big United fans so we watched all their games together, “Bloom told BBC Sport.

I miss living in the United States now. I still love watching games when I can but what I think I love most is the way football brings people together.

I attended Oasis in Manchester in July, and a big game is exactly the same, like church worship, and I adore that feeling.

In the film, Bloom plays a retired boxer who undergoes a gruelling training and weight-loss routine to return to the ring for one last shot at the title.

The movie is really about an athlete’s psychology, which I find fascinating in every sport because of its “leave it all on the field” mentality, he continued.

“That’s how I like to live a little bit myself – I thrive off a challenge, physical or mental… which is why I am taking Chris on at predictions”.

Orlando Bloom spoke with Chris Bevan of BBC Sport.

Chelsea looked lacklustre in their opener against Crystal Palace but then thrashed West Ham 5-1. How can you honestly evaluate anyone who has played West Ham, in your opinion?

My gut feeling is Chelsea will have got a great deal of confidence from the manner in which they beat the Hammers last week.

Under Marco Silva, I like Fulham, but their style of play has potential to trouble Chelsea.

But I still think the Blues will come out on top in this West London derby.

Sutton’s prediction: 2-1

Orlando’s prediction: Chelsea are the favourites for this. 1-2-1

I haven’t got a clue with this one, nothing would surprise me. Although I don’t believe there will be many goals in this game, Manchester United must surely make a statement to respond?

It’s a bad week for United. In the first half, Grimsby played them off the park, and they ultimately suffered humiliation. I know Ruben Amorim made eight changes but he threw the big guns on in the end and you don’t know what sort of impact that loss will have across the club.

Amorim is probably under a lot of pressure now, in my opinion.

Burnley will be stubborn and resolute, and they do carry an attacking threat. Manchester United: Will they find a way? Something’s telling me to pick United to win but I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Burnley embarrassed them.

Sutton’s prediction: 1-0

Orlando’s prediction: This might be closer than people think. 1- 1-0

Sunderland had that brilliant start against West Ham and they had a tight game with Burnley. Although I anticipated a draw, Burnley triumphed in the end.

Brentford played very well at Aston Villa and deserved their win in what was a massive result for Keith Andrews.

Brentford is a veteran, battle-tested Premier League side, as I’ve already said before. I think their win last week would’ve done them the world of good. On Saturday, they should prevail.

Sutton’s prediction: 0-1

No goals here, according to Orlando’s prediction. 0-0

This game will be fantastic. Bournemouth were excellent against Wolves last weekend and were unlucky to only win 1-0. Because of this, I always think they can score because they have always been an attacking threat.

But then Thomas Frank’s Tottenham have been so well balanced. They have so far been outstanding.

As for Richarlison, I was told by statman Dave not to get him in my Fantasy Team. He started out brilliantly, scoring two goals and adding one assist, and I didn’t put him in.

At home, I fancy Tottenham to nick it.

Sutton’s prediction: 2-1

Tottenham will win, according to Orlando’s prediction. 1-2-1

This is a big match for Wolves. Vitor Pereira needs a result.

Last season, Pereira did a good job with them, in my opinion. They have lost Matheus Cunha, of course. However, Manchester City and Bournemouth both had man down, and both were completely destroyed.

I do worry about Everton, especially in the centre-forward area. Thierno Barry might come to prominence, but 27 million won’t make you a top-notch striker these days and he still needs to develop.

That said, if there’s a motivated Jack Grealish then Everton have a really good chance. He excelled in the match against Brighton. It’s good to see him back playing football with a smile on his face.

Should be a draw.

Sutton’s prediction: 1-1

Orlando’s prediction: Jack Grealish’s signing is incredibly exciting. 0-2

Fantastic performance by Newcastle against Liverpool. But my worry for them is this: Sandro Tonali and Joelinton both went off injured last match and those two in midfield are an absolute force. I’m not sure what their removal will mean for the team.

Leeds lost 5-0 to Arsenal. They slammed against. Well beaten. But will Elland Road offer something different? They played with such great intensity in their opening game against Everton.

Really, this one needs an asterisk. If Tonali and Joelinton are fit, which I don’t think will be, then Newcastle should win. However, as a BBC predictions expert, I am now extremely vulnerable because I don’t have all the data!

With Anthony Gordon also suspended, I’m going for a draw, purely based on the fact that Newcastle won’t have any players.

Sutton’s prediction: 1-1

Orlando’s prediction: I anticipate Leeds receiving some benefits. 1 – 1 –

Which Manchester City side will we see? I mentioned last week on Football Focus and Final Score that I was concerned about James Trafford’s goalkeeping situation. I don’t think he should be playing ahead of Ederson, even if there is talk of Ederson leaving.

Brighton should have won their opening game against Fulham, but they didn’t, and they lost to Everton despite having a few chances.

This match could be anything. Because Brighton away is a challenging match, I believe we’ll learn a lot about Manchester City and whether they can challenge them.

Last season I backed City on so many occasions saying they’d bounce back. After they exactly the opposite and continued on a bad run, I had so many wrong predictions.

There’s a strong chance I’ll be wrong again, wouldn’t be the first time, but I’m going to revert back to last season’s technique and say City will pinch this.

Sutton’s prediction: 1-2

Orlando’s prediction: Brighton beat City last season and they can cause them more problems this time. 2-2-2

It’s been a good start to the season for Nottingham Forest despite all of their off-the-pitch turbulence. They did a great job against Brentford in their first game last week, coming from behind at Crystal Palace, and they did draw.

West Ham look flimsy and were knocked out of the League Cup in midweek. Potter is in great demand. Potter needs to wave his magic wand!

West Ham is a real source of my concern. I think the West Ham fans have had enough already and we’re not even in September yet. After their cup defeat, Jarrod Bowen attempted to confront some Hammers fans, but he was unsuccessful. He later apologised.

This one should be comfortably won by Forest.

Sutton’s prediction: 2-0

Orlando’s prediction: Forest will win at home. 2-0

My worry with Liverpool is exactly what Arne Slot talked about in pre-season. They are too vulnerable defensively.

They’ve already conceded four goals. In the previous two games, Ibrahima Konate has been everywhere and looks torn apart. He’s been a great player in the past for Liverpool but right now he looks like a triallist.

If you support Liverpool, I suppose the good news is that they are still achieving results. But if you want to win league titles you’ve got to be watertight and strong at the back, and I’m not so sure Liverpool are.

Newcastle bullied Liverpool. There’s no reason why Arsenal can’t bully them too. I have a sneaky suspicion that Arsenal will exploit them, especially with Eberechi Eze’s recent signing.

Sutton’s prediction: 1-2

Orlando’s prediction: This will have a few goals. 3-2

I’m really worried about my old club Aston Villa, their performance against Brentford last weekend was so insipid and so flat. They are completely uninterested.

We know the way Villa play. They will play out from the back, and it is very possession-focused. Crystal Palace will mix their game up but I’ve just got a feeling that Villa will finally turn up in this one.

Plus, I’m not sure how Crystal Palace will be affected by Eze’s departure. They coped in a one-off game with Nottingham Forest last week but long-term they’re going to suffer from that loss of creativity.

Even without Eze, I believe Palace are still a strong team, but I’m hoping Villa will put together a strong performance. If they don’t, then fans will start getting really concerned.

Sutton’s 3-1 prediction

Orlando’s prediction: This is going to be close. 1 – 1 –
