Sutton's predictions

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches again this season, against a variety of guests.

His opponents for this weekend's fixtures are YouTuber KSI and boxer Tommy Fury.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Both of these teams are looking to build on much-needed positive results this week, but it's hard to know what to expect from them.

Chelsea's win over Fulham on Monday was their first league win since August, but the question now is whether they can follow up that result and find some consistency.

Scoring goals has been the Blues' biggest problem recently, so it was important for them that Mykhailo Mudryk finally got off the mark against Fulham.

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino spoke about doing extra sessions with Mudryk when he was struggling to find the net, including using the 'crossbar challenge' to try to build his confidence. It seems to have worked, and now they must hope he is fit to face Burnley too.

The Clarets' victory at Luton on Tuesday had been coming, based on what I've seen of them, and they probably felt like they deserved it after such a tough start to the season.

Vincent Kompany's side have lost four out of four at Turf Moor so far, so even a point would be a step in the right direction for them. It smells like a draw to me.

KSI's prediction: 0-2

Tommy's prediction: 0-2
