Premier League predictions: Chris Sutton v Embrace bassist Steve Firth – and AI

From what I’ve read about new Tottenham manager Igor Tudor, he is a guy who goes in at clubs and, in the short term, gets a turn out of his team.

Spurs really need that to happen now, because they desperately need a win or two to get out of reach of relegation.

So, this game is big for them for that reason, and also because they can put another dent in Arsenal‘s title hopes too.

Spurs and their fans have not had a lot to shout about this season, but if they can get something here then this could be a defining moment in their campaign, and affect Arsenal as well. They would love that.

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

Maybe it is getting to be ‘squeaky bum time’ for them, but it didn’t affect them when they went away to Leeds a couple of weeks ago and won convincingly.

You can imagine how Spurs will be champing at the bit, and I am expecting them to make a fast start and have a real go at them – but Arsenal have to deal with that, and find a way of bouncing back.

I think the Gunners can do that, and their quality will make the difference in the end. I worry about Spurs in forward areas and it will be interesting to see how Tudor lines them up in defence too.

Ultimately, if Arsenal turn up and play how we know they can, then they will win – and I am expecting them to make a real statement.

Sutton’s prediction: 0-3

Steve’s prediction: Two bottlers here! I’d like Arsenal to win the league, but I don’t think they will. Man City are just used to doing it from here – they just get their heads down in the run-in, and they know what to do. 2-3

AI’s prediction: 1-2
