Original Summary

All eyes will be on Anfield on Sunday to see how Premier League leaders Manchester City react after being found guilty of breaking the majority of the 115 financial rules they have been accused of breaching. "It's a mammoth game," said BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton. "Everyone is looking at this game to see if City's players appear deflated and how much it will affect them. "We don't know what the implications are for this season, either. They are top of the league at the moment but will they get a massive points deduction that changes that?" Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against AI, BBC Sport readers and a variety of guests. For week six, he takes on Starsailor frontman James Walsh, who supports Liverpool. Starsailor have released a 25th anniversary edition of their debut album, Love is Here, this week and are playing it in full, with a string ensemble, on their UK and European tour this month.

Adam Docker / Starsailor's debut album, Love Is Here, has sold more than 1m copies worldwide since it reached number two in the UK album charts in 2001, and has amassed more than 56m streams on Spotify When Love is Here was released, Liverpool had just completed an unprecedented treble of FA Cup, League Cup and Uefa Cup. They are not holders of any trophies at the moment, but James is optimistic about winning some silverware under new manager Andoni Iraola. "You have to be realistic whenever a new manager comes in, especially with the big signings we made last year, Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz, not hitting the ground running," he told BBC Sport. "I think just give him a chance to implement his way of playing football and give Isak and Wirtz a chance to prove themselves this season. "I don't see us winning the title but I'd be more than happy with the FA Cup or even the Carabao Cup, and having a good run in Europe. "It's a bit greedy but of course you do like to see your team win something every season. Three more trophies like in 2001 would be pretty good!" Chris Sutton and James Walsh were speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. The AI predictions were generated using Microsoft Copilot Chat - we simply asked the tool to 'predict this weekend's Premier League scores'. Premier League predictions Saturday, 10 October Emirates Stadium, 12:30 BST Brighton were brilliant when they beat Arsenal before the international break - the Seagulls really harried and hassled the champions and went toe-to-toe with them. I don't think Leeds will go about things the same way, but they will still provide a stern test. Daniel Farke's side are really solid but also carry a big threat too, and they are a very different proposition to the side Arsenal thumped 5-0 at Emirates Stadium at the start of last season. So, this game will tell us a lot about where Arsenal are and how they have recovered from that Brighton defeat. I'd still back the Gunners to find a way to win, especially because they are at home, but it will be a lot closer than last time. Leeds don't concede goals as freely any more. Sutton's prediction: 2-0 James' prediction: Arsenal have just had a bit of a wobble and you wonder if it was just an anomaly, because Brighton have had quite a few scalps, or if it is going to be a slightly more difficult season for them this year. I guess we will start to find out here but I've been impressed by how resilient Leeds have been, to stay unbeaten, so I have made this my outlier prediction to give them some credit for their start. They will probably get thumped now but someone has to give them a chance. 1-1 AI's prediction: 3-1 Villa Park, 15:00 Brentford were one of the teams who definitely didn't want the international break, while I feel like it might have done Aston Villa the world of good. They have made very different starts to the new season - Brentford are still unbeaten and, while I kept on predicting Villa would win, the only time I was right was when they beat Tottenham last time out. Despite the difference in their form, I am going to stick with Villa here, even though the Bees have been seriously impressive so far. Johan Manzambi is fit again and seems to have found his best form while playing for Switzerland. He could make the difference here too. Sutton's prediction: 2-1 James' prediction: Villa have lost some key players but I still expect them to get it together at some stage and maybe this is the game, against a Brentford team in really good form. 2-1 AI's prediction: 2-2 Stamford Bridge, 15:00 Bournemouth have not won yet under Marco Rose, and they are also without key midfielder Alex Scott for a while as a result of his injury on international duty. I feel like the Cherries have been a bit unlucky with their results under Rose so far, because they have conceded some costly late goals, but Scott's absence is a huge blow for them. Chelsea are already turning into a team that are a nightmare to predict - defensively they have got huge issues, but they have got such a talented attack. Some people thought they would be up there challenging for the title but they look far too inconsistent to do that. Anything could happen in this game and I was tempted to say Bournemouth will get something out of it. But Cole Palmer will be rested and refreshed after his injury so I am going to base my prediction on how I expect Chelsea's frontline to click. Sutton's prediction: 3-1 James' prediction: I don't see Bournemouth getting anything here. 2-0 AI's prediction: 2-0 Portman Road, 15:00 Ipswich lost last time out, aga
