BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton is taking on AI predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, with week 28 featuring indie band Good Neighbours as his guest predictor. Sutton revealed he's drawing inspiration from Albert Einstein, who once lived near his home, hoping the physicist's genius might rub off on his football forecasting abilities. The AI predictions are generated using Microsoft Copilot Chat.

Sutton's guest, Oli Fox of Good Neighbours, brings a unique perspective as a lifelong West Ham fan whose brother Morgan Fox played professionally for clubs including Wigan and Wales Under-21s. Oli admitted his professional football dreams were dashed early, acknowledging his brother's superior talent even as a child. The band's music has featured on EA FC video game soundtracks, creating an interesting connection to the sport.

For Friday's Wolves vs Aston Villa match, Sutton predicts a 1-0 Villa win, while Oli expects a 1-1 draw and AI forecasts a 2-1 Villa victory. Sutton believes Villa's recent form blip has cost them in the title race, though they should still have enough to overcome Wolves. The predictions continue through Saturday's fixtures, with Sutton backing Liverpool to beat West Ham 2-1, while Oli, showing his loyalty, predicts an upset with West Ham taking an early lead.
