"The 145th FA Cup final takes place at Wembley on Saturday but will it be Manchester City or Chris Sutton's old club Chelsea who get their hands on the famous old trophy? Chelsea have not beaten City in any of their past 13 meetings but their last success against Pep Guardiola's side came on another huge occasion, the 2021 Champions League final."
""I was at that game and Pep did not get the better of Thomas Tuchel," said BBC Sport football expert Sutton. "He is not going to be schooled by Calum McFarlane though." As well as the FA Cup, Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against AI, BBC Sport readers and a variety of guests."
"For all of this weekend's games, he takes on two Manchester City fans - frontman and guitarist Tom Ogden and drummer Joe Donovan from indie band Blossoms - and a Chelsea supporter - rapper Songer. Blossoms' new single, Joke About Divorce, is out. It is their first new material since their 2024 UK number one album, Gary. Songer's latest single, Find My Face, is out now."
"Some Chelsea fans are planning to protest against their owners, BlueCo, at Wembley before Saturday's FA Cup final and Songer understands why they are so unhappy. The rapper, whose full name is James Songer, has supported Chelsea since he was a toddler and told BBC Sport: "I've been disillusioned with BlueCo from the very start. "It has been like watching a circus and it has been infuriating for the fans to be dragged into it. Our club should not be guinea pigs for their pet project.""

Predictions for the Premier League season are being made using selections from AI, BBC Sport readers, and guests, including two Manchester City fans from the band Blossoms and a Chelsea supporter, rapper Songer. Some Chelsea supporters plan to protest BlueCo at Wembley, expressing frustration with ownership and feeling the club has been treated like a test project. Songer says he has been disillusioned with BlueCo from the start and describes the situation as chaotic for fans.
