Chris Sutton's Premier League predictions face a stern test this week, with Leeds United fanatic and Embrace bassist Steve Firth and AI joining the fray. Sutton, the BBC Sport expert, has his work cut out against a musician who knows his football and a machine that doesn't blink.

The Contestants

Sutton, a former pro turned pundit, has been making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season. Firth, meanwhile, brings a fan's passion and a musician's instinct to the table. His love for Leeds United is well-documented, and his admiration for the club's history is clear.

Firth's knowledge of Leeds' history is encyclopedic. He reveres the club's 1990s midfield trio of Gordon Strachan, Gary McAllister, and David Batty. 'I always loved Gordon Strachan, Gary McAllister and David Batty - we had a superb midfield then,' he said.

The Challenge

With 380 games to predict, this is no walk in the park. Sutton's analytical approach has served him well, but Firth's gut instincts are deceptively sharp. 'I've been watching football for 40 years,' Firth said. 'I know when a team is due for a win or a loss.' AI, meanwhile, has no emotions to cloud its judgment, but can it read the intangibles that often decide games?

Predicting the remaining games won't be easy. The Premier League's unpredictability is its greatest asset, and Sutton knows it better than most. 'This league is a minefield,' he said. Firth, however, trusts his instincts. 'I might not have the stats, but I know when a team is playing with confidence or fear.'

Leeds United's Chances

Leeds United's season has been a rollercoaster, but Firth sees reason for optimism. 'We've had our moments this season,' he said. 'We've got a young, hungry squad,' he said. 'They might not have the big names, but they've got heart, and that counts for a lot in this league.'

Tottenham's New Manager

Igor Tudor's appointment as Tottenham manager is a significant development. Sutton isn't convinced. 'Tottenham's stadium has been an unhappy place all season. Tudor's problem, if he doesn't get off to a fast start, is that there is going to be negativity around him too. Spurs are in a relegation fight and their fans will be asking why have we employed someone to keep us up who doesn't have a lot of knowledge of the Premier League?' he said.

Predictions and Outcomes

Sutton's experience gives him the edge, but Firth's instincts are no joke. 'I know football,' he said. AI, meanwhile, has no fear, no doubt, and no off days. But can it handle the chaos of the Premier League?

The competition is fierce, but Sutton is confident. 'I've been doing this for years, and I know what I'm doing,' he said. 'Firth is a great football mind, but he's a fan at heart. And AI? It's a machine. It doesn't understand the beauty of a last-minute winner or the heartbreak of a missed penalty.'

Future Prospects

The Premier League never disappoints, and this season is no different. With so many teams still in the mix, the drama is far from over. Sutton, Firth, and AI will be watching closely, making their predictions, and analyzing the outcomes. And as the season reaches its climax, expect plenty of twists and turns along the way.

Sutton is ready for the challenge. 'I love this league,' he said. 'It's unpredictable, it's exciting, and it's never boring. And that's why I'll always be here, making my predictions and calling it how I see it.' Firth, meanwhile, is just happy to be part of the action. 'Football is my passion, and this is a dream come true,' he said. 'I might not win, but I'm going to enjoy every minute of it.'
