Chris Sutton is competing in a Premier League predictions contest against AI, BBC Sport readers, and guests, with the title race tied on outright wins. Sutton holds second place due to fewer tied victories, so he needs another outright win in the final round of fixtures to finish first. He predicts all 380 Premier League games and faces Microsoft chatbot Copilot, while also taking on singer-songwriter Sam Tompkins for week 38. Correct win, draw, or defeat predictions earn 10 points, and exact scorelines earn 40 points. Sam Tompkins described celebrating Arsenal’s title after a 22-year wait, including receiving a text at halftime and running through Paris at full time.
"Forget the scrap for survival between Tottenham and West Ham, the real battle on the final day of the Premier League season is humans versus machines. The outcome of the BBC predictions title race has gone to the wire, and BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton is the only one who can stop AI - Microsoft chatbot Copilot - from taking the glory. With one round of fixtures to go, they are level on outright wins - which is the decisive metric."
"Sutton is in second place because he has managed fewer tied victories, so he needs another outright win on Sunday to finish top of the table. "The BBC readers and the guests have put up a pretty pathetic fight," said Sutton. "It is just down to me now. I am a bit like Doctor Who, in that it is all down to me to save the human race." Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against AI, BBC Sport readers and a variety of guests."
"For week 38, he takes on singer-songwriter and Arsenal fan Sam Tompkins. Tompkins' new single, Beauty Queen, is out now. Do you agree with their scores? You can pick your own below. The most popular scoreline selected for each game is used in the scoreboards and tables at the bottom of this page. A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points."
"Sam was on holiday with his partner in Paris when Manchester City drew with Bournemouth on Tuesday to crown Arsenal as champions after a 22-year wait. "We had gone out for a really nice dinner and I'd been trying to look away from football for the evening," he told BBC Sport. "Then my mate texted me at half-time, saying '45 minutes'. At first I was like 'what does that mean?', before I realised that Bournemouth were winning. "After that I just watched the rest of the game with my missus - she was actually very happy to watch it with me to be fair - and then at full-time I ran through the streets of Paris screaming!""
