"I don't know, but I do cognize Spurs leader Ange Postecoglou will spell connected nan attack."

Sutton is making predictions for each Premier League crippled this play against a assortment of guests.

For this weekend's matches, he takes connected Andy Bell and Steve Queralt from Ride, who support Arsenal and Tottenham.

Ride's caller album, Interplay, is retired now.

Ride are (from left) Steve Queralt, Andy Bell, Loz Colbert and Mark Gardener. They formed successful 1988 and divided successful 1996, but reunited successful 2014

Bassist Steve grew up a Spurs instrumentality - on a fare of chips and Glenn Hoddle's genius - but guitarist Andy is simply a much caller person to Arsenal's cause.

Andy told BBC Sport: "I was a neutral arsenic a kid - I grew up successful Oxford and did spell and spot Oxford United a mates of times, but I ne'er really stuck pinch it because it was ever euphony for me.

"Then I ended up leaving nan UK wholly for a fewer years and erstwhile I came back, astir 2007, I started surviving successful London for nan first clip and settled successful northbound London.

"So, a batch of my friends were going to spot Arsenal and I started going too.

"The first lucifer I really went to was rather a legendary 1 - erstwhile Andrey Arshavin's extremity beat Barcelona successful 2011 - which was a large portion of it for me. I americium told it is 1 of nan all-time awesome Arsenal goals, and I was fortunate capable to beryllium location for it.

"Since then, I conscionable sewage sucked into it really. That was a fewer years earlier nan Ride reunion happened truthful location was a infinitesimal erstwhile we sewage backmost together erstwhile Steve and I were for illustration 'oh yeah, we are now rivals!'.

"I cognize I'm a latecomer but I do consciousness I get distant pinch that somewhat because, erstwhile I started going regularly, it was not precisely nan glory years. It was much erstwhile Arsene Wenger was connected his agelong goodbye, truthful not specified a nosy clip to beryllium an Arsenal fan.

"Things are overmuch amended now, though, and I've conscionable really enjoyed these past 2 seasons and nan advancement we person made.

"Last play was truthful overmuch nosy because no-one expected america to situation for nan title. At nan commencement of this 1 it felt a small spot funny because I deliberation Mikel Arteta was trying immoderate different ways of playing, alternatively than going each out, each of nan time, because of really exhausting it was towards nan extremity past time. It feels for illustration we are successful a amended spot now."

Ride circuit nan United States and Canada adjacent month, and nan UK successful September.

As a Spurs season-ticket holder, Steve has besides had much to grin astir successful nan past fewer months since Postecoglou took complaint - moreover though their hopes of a top-four decorativeness are successful nan balance.

"It has been for illustration a activity of caller aerial compared to nan times wherever we had to strengthen Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte," he explained.

"For maine they were really acheronian years wherever nan shot was dreadful and location was a toxic atmosphere.

"This play has been truthful different. Ange is specified a straight-talking feline and we started disconnected brilliantly, playing really bully football.

"When we are good, we are really good. Yes, our shape is unreliable and we look a spot wobbly astatine nan infinitesimal but this his first season, and hopefully it is conscionable nan start.

"Fourth spot is still imaginable but our conclusion by Newcastle past clip retired was a large rustle - goodness knows what happened to america there.

"It was nan aforesaid point astatine Fulham successful March erstwhile we mislaid heavy arsenic well. Both of those games were bizarre because we had nary imagination, nary productivity and hardly managed a changeable astatine extremity - it was conscionable dreadful.

"Those results person benignant of sealed our destiny to decorativeness 5th - but if you had offered maine that astatine nan commencement of nan season, pinch a caller manager, I would person taken it."

Chris Sutton, Andy Bell and Steve Queralt were speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.

A correct consequence (picking a win, tie aliases defeat) is worthy 10 points. The nonstop people earns 40 points.

SUTTON'S PREDICTIONS

All games footwear disconnected astatine 15:00 BST unless different stated.

SATURDAY, 27 APRIL

West Ham v Liverpool (12:30 BST)

Earlier this month, erstwhile Liverpool mislaid to Crystal Palace connected nan aforesaid time Arsenal were beaten by Aston Villa, it was Grand National play and I made an affinity astir really some of them had deed nan third-last obstruction hard, but could some still recover.

Well, Arsenal person responded really good to get their noses successful front, but Liverpool stumbled severely again against Everton and, to proceed nan horse-racing theme, their only dream now is to dream that nan Gunners and Manchester City some autumn astatine nan last.

I don't spot that happening but Liverpool person conscionable sewage to look aft themselves now and effort to hit West Ham.

Who knows what benignant of Hammers capacity we are going to get aft each nan sound astir the talks they person had pinch Sporting Lisbon leader Ruben Amorim this week.

I cognize clubs person to make plans, but for that to travel retired nan measurement it did that was really disrespectful to West Ham leader David Moyes erstwhile nan nine person not made an announcement astir his future.

So, really do I telephone this erstwhile we don't cognize what nan temper successful their campy will beryllium like? It's besides difficult to backmost Liverpool, because Mohamed Salah is retired of shape and Darwin Nunez's finishing has been truthful terrible.

I person a emotion nan Reds will separator it but, for illustration I say, they are retired of nan title title now anyway.

I'm sad astir that, because I don't want Jurgen Klopp's clip arsenic Liverpool head to extremity for illustration this.

Klopp is simply a fierce competitor and he came successful pinch that 'heavy-metal' marque of football... but it seems his spell astatine Anfield is going to decorativeness pinch him conscionable tinkering astir connected nan piano, pinch thing to play for.

Sutton's prediction: 1-2

Steve's prediction: Liverpool are going to beryllium wounded aft Wednesday, but I still deliberation they will win. 1-2

Andy's prediction: I agree, and I americium basing this connected West Ham's caller shape too. 0-2

Fulham v Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace person recovered a spot of shape and nan goals are flying successful too. I person ever been a instrumentality of large centre-forwards and Jean-Philippe Mateta is connected occurrence for them astatine nan moment, pinch 7 successful his past 7 matches.

In contrast, Fulham person mislaid 3 of their past 4 games but, if this is nan benignant of crippled I expect it to be, I person a emotion they will halt nan Palace charge.

I don't spot Marco Silva's broadside keeping retired nan Eagles front-line of Mateta, Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze, but they should person plentifulness of chances excessively - I deliberation some sets of fans are going to bask this one.

Sutton's prediction: 2-2

Andy's prediction: It's a conflict of mid-table, 13th versus 14th, and I'm going pinch Palace to triumph it. 1-2

Steve's prediction: They are 2 rather well-matched teams, truthful a tie for me. 2-2

Man Utd v Burnley

Manchester United ne'er look to make things easy for themselves, arsenic they showed again successful midweek.

The 1 clip I foretell them to triumph a game, against bottommost broadside Sheffield United, they ended up going down doubly earlier turning it around.

Burnley person fixed themselves a chance of staying up and, if you look astatine their caller performances, they person been beautiful consistent.

The Clarets' results person improved excessively - they person only mislaid 1 of their past 7 games, and would person picked up much than 10 points if not for immoderate costly goalkeeper errors.

So, they will beryllium up for this one, and they already gave United a adjacent crippled astatine Turf Moor earlier successful nan season, erstwhile they mislaid retired to a superb Bruno Fernandes volley.

I don't ever work together pinch Fernandes' antics, but he is specified an important subordinate for Erik 10 Hag's side. After rescuing them against nan Blades connected Wednesday, he will astir apt thief them get complete nan statement successful this crippled too.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

Steve's prediction: United are truthful unpredictable - but they are astatine location and I really deliberation Burnley are done for, successful position of relegation, truthful it could beryllium rather comfortable for them. 2-0

Andy's prediction: That's interesting. I should caveat each of this by saying I person nary thought astir shot really, I conscionable for illustration going to to watch Arsenal. Having said that, I cognize United person been up and down truthful I americium going to backmost Burnley to travel up their large triumph from past week and clasp them disconnected here. 0-0

Newcastle v Sheff Utd

Sheffield United will beryllium relegated if they suffer this crippled but it is going to hap sooner aliases later moreover if they debar defeat.

The Blades person lacked value successful each areas but they person known they are going down for a while now, and nan important point for them is really they regroup for adjacent season.

Newcastle put 8 goals past them astatine Bramall Lane successful September and I americium beautiful judge they will trim done them beautiful easy this clip too. I americium going to springiness Sheffield United a goal, but that is each they will get.

Sutton's prediction: 3-1

Steve's prediction: A comparatively regular location win. Sheffield United mightiness put up a decent conflict but Newcastle will beryllium excessively beardown for them. 3-0

Andy's prediction: That's precisely what I person put too. 3-0

Wolves v Luton

Wolves are successful atrocious shape truthful this mightiness look for illustration a bully fixture for Luton, who are hopeless for points. I americium not truthful judge it will activity retired that way.

I watched nan Hatters' suffer 5-1 astatine location to Brentford past week and while they play expansive shot which intends they transportation an attacking threat, it intends they are highly susceptible astatine nan back.

Luton's attack is to beryllium brave, and I understand that, but nan Bees could person scored 8 aliases 9 and Wolves are bully capable to expose those frailties too.

I said successful February that Luton leader Rob Edwards will beryllium head of nan play if he keeps them successful nan Premier League, and I guidelines by that - but he is up against it now.

Sutton's prediction: 3-1

Andy's prediction: I americium backing Wolves. I cognize they are not connected a bully tally but whenever I've seen them this season, they person played really well. 1-0

Steve's prediction: It's now aliases ne'er for Luton and this is simply a existent chance for them to make immoderate crushed up. They are going to spell hellhole for leather to get an distant win. 1-2

Everton v Brentford (17:30)

I ever felt Everton's play depended a batch connected Dominic Calvert-Lewin but it felt for illustration he was successful nan wilderness for months earlier he put successful specified a superb capacity against Liverpool connected Wednesday.

He was specified a fistful each crippled and showed what a bully a subordinate he is. I was near reasoning wherever person you been for truthful long?

You person to wonderment really overmuch Everton person sewage near successful nan vessel aft their efforts to triumph nan Merseyside derby but a batch of nan unit is disconnected them now.

It is nan aforesaid for Brentford aft their tally of results - some of these teams are almost safe because Luton would request a occurrence to drawback them.

I americium not judge what is going connected pinch Bees striker Ivan Toney, because he was connected nan chair for a mates of games earlier missing nan triumph complete Luton pinch a hep injury, but they don't look to request him astatine nan moment.

This is simply a difficult 1 to telephone because a triumph would efficaciously cement endurance for whoever gets it, but a tie is besides a decent consequence for some teams - and that mightiness mean this is rather a cagey affair.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Andy's prediction: They person some been winning games and again they are adjacent to each different successful nan array truthful I americium going for a barnstorming Brentford win. 2-3

Steve's prediction: I person a spot of a soft spot for Brentford because I unrecorded rather adjacent to their ground. So, I'm backing them, conscionable based connected that really. 0-2

Aston Villa v Chelsea (20:00)

I conscionable don't understand really Chelsea tin spell from pushing Manchester City adjacent successful 3 games this play to nan inept level of capacity we saw from them against Arsenal connected Tuesday.

I deliberation they should instrumentality pinch their head Mauricio Pochettino sloppy of what happens successful their remaining games, but different walloping present will evidently harm his cause.

Chelsea won astatine Villa Park successful nan FA Cup successful February, and I americium really expecting a consequence from them - but Aston Villa will still beryllium excessively bully for them.

Tottenham tin move level pinch Unai Emery's broadside successful 4th spot if they triumph their games successful manus but I'd overmuch alternatively beryllium successful Villa's position. They person each nan momentum astatine nan moment, and look afloat of assurance too.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

Andy's prediction: I've gone for a tie here. 2-2

Steve's prediction: Villa are benignant of steamrolling their measurement to 4th spot now, and I besides could not wish thing but nan worst for Chelsea. 3-0

SUNDAY, 28 APRIL

Bournemouth v Brighton (14:00)

Brighton's play has fizzled retired and it cannot person helped that location is uncertainty complete their head Roberto de Zerbi, who has been linked pinch truthful galore different clubs.

The Seagulls still had immoderate bully passages of play against Manchester City connected Thursday nighttime but it was obscurity adjacent capable - City schooled them from commencement to finish.

Bournemouth are supra them successful nan array now, thing which seemed improbable earlier successful nan run - erstwhile Brighton hit nan Cherries astatine Amex Stadium astatine nan extremity of September, it sent them 3rd while Andoni Iraola's broadside were still waiting for their first win.

The measurement Iraola has turned things astir has amazed everyone, myself included, and I americium surely not going to backmost against them here. I americium predicting a south-coast cracker, and a Bournemouth victory.

Sutton's prediction: 4-3

Andy's prediction: No goals here! 0-0

Steve's prediction: Again, neither squad really person overmuch to play for anymore, truthful I americium going to spell for it to beryllium a bully sunny day by nan oversea and Bournemouth to win. 2-1

Tottenham v Arsenal (14:00)

Arsenal bounced backmost superbly from their conclusion by Aston Villa pinch wins complete Wolves and Chelsea and I americium expecting much of nan aforesaid here.

They should triumph this because of nan measurement they are playing and besides because I conscionable don't deliberation Tottenham person been astatine their champion successful their past fewer games, moreover nan ones they person won.

It will still beryllium really keenly contested, but nan Gunners person a awesome equilibrium successful onslaught and defence and that mightiness springiness them nan edge.

If Arsenal do travel retired connected top, it would beryllium an tremendous triumph for them successful nan title title and support nan power connected Manchester City.

I person nary uncertainty Mikel Arteta's broadside will triumph their last 3 games excessively - Bournemouth (home), Manchester United (away) and Everton (home) - but it will not beryllium capable if City support winning too.

Sutton's prediction: 1-2

Andy's prediction: I americium going for a people adjacent to my heart, based connected erstwhile I've watched these games previously. 2-5

Steve's prediction: You could reason that, surely 2 weeks ago, Arsenal were nan champion squad successful nan league. It pains maine to opportunity it but they look sharp, they look beardown and they people tons of goals. Also, tons of players people nan goals for them - they don't trust connected immoderate 1 player. So, it is going to beryllium a very reliable day for Tottenham and Arsenal will decidedly people - truthful I americium going for america to triumph 4-1.

Andy connected nan title race: City are favourites, but thing is possible. With america beating Chelsea connected Tuesday, it is each unfastened again.

Steve: It will beryllium each complete connected Sunday! But pinch some caput and heart, I deliberation City are going to triumph it. I can't spot them losing immoderate much games now, particularly pinch nan Champions League retired of nan way.

Nottingham Forest v Man City (16:30)

Manchester City were truthful awesome against Brighton connected Thursday. There would person been immoderate Arsenal fans who switched nan TV on, hoping to spot their title rivals gaffe up - but they had wrapped nan crippled up by half-time.

When you spot City execute for illustration that, you deliberation who tin get adjacent them... but I person a emotion this crippled is going to beryllium a batch person for nan defending champions.

Nottingham Forest person shown america plentifulness of times earlier that they tin beryllium stubborn astatine location - including erstwhile Chris Wood got them a point precocious connected against City location past play - and I don't deliberation they will beryllium swatted speech truthful easily.

The crowd is going to beryllium raucous, contesting each determination that goes against Forest aft nan outcry from nan nine complete nan officiating successful last week's conclusion by Everton.

The officials did get 1 of nan 3 incidents successful mobility wrong, because Ashley Young's situation connected Callum Hudson-Odoi was a penalty.

But what worried maine was seeing Forest defender Neco Williams travel retired afterwards, saying nan aforesaid things hap each week, and really nan apical six teams would not get those calls against them.

What are Forest head Nuno Espirito Santo and his players focusing on? If they are going into games reasoning astir who is nan referee aliases who is connected video adjunct referee work past they are taking their oculus disconnected nan point that really matters, which is their capacity levels connected nan pitch.

On Sunday they are playing against a squad wherever they really can't spend to suffer their focus. They are tin of giving City a bully crippled but keeping their attraction is nan key.

Sutton's prediction: 1-2

Steve's prediction: It's going to beryllium a locomotion successful nan parkland for City. 0-2

Andy's prediction: I can't rather condemn Forest to not getting a goal. 1-2

How did Sutton do past time?

Sutton sewage 4 correct results, pinch nary nonstop scores, from nan six Premier League games connected Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, giving him 40 points.

His guest, Jericho Ridge prima Zack Morris, sewage 3 correct results, pinch nary nonstop scores, for a full of 30 points.

Those games were rearranged from FA Cup quarter-final play successful March, erstwhile nan guests were Anna Friedberg and Emily Linden from alt-rock set Friedberg.

Anna and Emily besides made their predictions for these fixtures, and picked up 20 much points to spell pinch nan 10 they picked up initially.

That was capable to assistance them disconnected nan bottommost of nan impermanent leaderboard, though they still mislaid retired 80-30 to Sutton overall.

How did you get on?

Only 12% of you thought Everton would hit Liverpool but, for illustration Chris, you were correct astir Palace beating Newcastle. Only just, though - 35% backed nan Magpies, but 38% went pinch nan Eagles.
