BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton continues his Premier League predictions series, this week facing off against Embrace bassist Steve Firth. The band member, a lifelong Leeds United fan, brings his football knowledge to the prediction table as Sutton makes calls for all 380 Premier League games this season against AI, readers, and various guests.

Firth, who has supported Leeds since the 1970s and attended most games in the 1990s, shares his passion for the club's legendary midfielders like Gordon Strachan, Gary McAllister, and David Batty. While he regrets never seeing Eric Cantona play for Leeds, Firth praises recent star Kalvin Phillips before his Manchester City move. The Yorkshire club's recent form turnaround has convinced Firth they'll finish safely in mid-table after escaping relegation danger.

For Saturday's fixtures, Sutton predicts Aston Villa will edge Leeds 2-1 at Elland Road, while Firth expects a 1-1 draw given the Whites' improved form. The expert also forecasts Brentford beating Brighton 1-0 and Chelsea defeating Burnley 2-0. Both Sutton and Firth agree on Chelsea's 2-0 win over the Clarets, with Firth noting his wife's delight at Mansfield's FA Cup victory over Burnley last week.
