"I was having a weird day and, probably like many people reading this, when I am feeling like that I quite often go and find football or cricket. I find watching it just airbrushes me, and just changes my way of thinking about the world. I saw Penrith were playing down the road and we weren't on stage until after 6pm, so I worked out I'd just have enough time to get back afterwards."
"Villa have good players who can shoot from the edge of the box, so are you seriously going to tell them not to shoot now, because of xG? Give me a break."
Unai Emery's Aston Villa travel to Brighton aiming for a fourth successive Premier League victory. Some question whether Villa's expected goals (xG) are inflated because many scores have come from long-range shots. Chris Sutton rejects that view, arguing Villa possess capable shooters from the edge of the box and should continue shooting. Sutton is predicting all 380 Premier League games this season against AI, BBC Sport readers and guests. For week 14 midweek fixtures Sutton faces musician, author and Fulham fan Felix White. Felix White's book recounts his 2024–25 FA Cup journey and describes an accidental visit to a Penrith match that changed his outlook.
