Premier League predictions: Chris Sutton vs Empress bassist Steve Firth – and the AI

From what I’ve read about new Tottenham coach Igor Tudor, he is a guy who goes to clubs and, in the short term, gets a chance to join his team.

Spurs really need that to happen now, as they desperately need a win or two to stay clear of relegation.

So, this match is big for them for that reason, and also because it could put another damper on Arsenal’s title hopes as well.

Tottenham and their fans haven’t had much to shout about this season, but if they can get something going here, this could be a defining moment in their season, and impact Arsenal as well. They love it.

It was an incredible flop by Mikel Arteta’s side against Wolves, drawing 2-2 after being 2-0 up, and I certainly didn’t see it coming.

It may be a ‘difficult time’ for them, but it didn’t affect them as they went away to Leeds two weeks ago and won convincingly.

You can imagine how Spurs will excel at this stage, and I expect them to get off to a fast start and put in a real performance – but Arsenal have to deal with that, and find a way to bounce back.

I think the Gunners can do that, and their quality will make the difference in the end. I’m worried about Spurs in the forward areas and it will be interesting to see how Tudor coordinates them in defense as well.

Ultimately, if Arsenal turn up and play the way we know them, they will win – and I expect them to make a real statement.

Sutton predictions: 0-3

Steve’s predictions: Two bottles here! I would like Arsenal to win the league, but I don’t think they will. Manchester City are used to doing it from here – they keep their heads down, they know what they have to do. 2-3

Artificial Intelligence Predictions: 1-2
