Premier League predictions: Chris Sutton vs YouTuber Angry Ging – and artificial intelligence

That’s third versus fourth, which is big for both teams’ seasons.

It is important for Michael Carrick to get back on the right track after suffering his first defeat as United coach, against Newcastle, who finished the match with ten men.

Things have improved dramatically for Aston Villa, and Unai Emery was clearly right when he was so negative about his side’s title hopes.

It’s hard to make an argument for Villa because they look really flat. They started the season poorly, and it looks like they will end it poorly as well.

Villa won 2-1 when they met before Christmas. Let’s go to reverse that result.

Sutton predictions: 2-1

Angry Jin predictions: What a game this will be, a huge game in the race for the top four. It’s at Old Trafford too, so United will win. It won’t be Cisco who makes the difference this time, it will be Ceni Lamins and Bruno Fernandes. 2-0

Angry Genji about United’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League: To be honest, even under Ruben Amorim, I thought we would get into the top four. Seeing us achieve the heights we have now under Carrick makes me more confident. The standards are high, the players are high, the morale is high. We are not outcasts, but whoever plays with us must be at his best in order to defeat us.

Genji fumes over whether Carrick should stay in charge after the end of the season: You can see what Carrick is doing, he is playing to the players’ strengths, not just trying to do his own stubborn things. I put my hand up, I was ‘Robin’ because I thought we were delaying the process – we paid around £10m for him from Sporting and Sir Jim. [Ratcliffe] He came out and said he needed to be there for three years, so I thought ‘Okay, we’ll back him.’

But almost immediately Carrick comes along and things improve. I look at myself now and think, “Why was I even accepting this?” We have to give Carrick the job permanently. The results are there, and the morale is there. He’s 100% the right guy.
