In week three of the Premier League season, BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton and Leicester City fan Serge Pizzorno, the frontman of the band Kasabian, made predictions for several matches alongside AI forecasts generated by Microsoft Copilot Chat. The results were compared to see how accurate each predictor was. Sutton, who had already picked up his first win of the season in week two with seven correct results, including three exact scores, aimed to continue his strong performance this week.
For the match between Ipswich Town and Liverpool, Sutton predicted a 1-2 result, which matched Pizzorno’s forecast, while the AI predicted 1-3. In the Newcastle United vs. Bournemouth game, Sutton predicted a 2-1 scoreline, while Pizzorno predicted 2-0 and the AI also predicted 2-1. In the Brentford vs. Norwich City match, Sutton and the AI both predicted a 1-1 result, while Pizzorno predicted 1-0. For Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Leeds United, both Sutton and Pizzorno predicted a 2-1 result, while the AI predicted 2-0.
In the Crystal Palace vs. Fulham match, Sutton predicted a 1-1 result, which aligned with the AI, while Pizzorno predicted 2-0. For Manchester City vs. Coventry City, Sutton predicted a 3-0 result, while both Pizzorno and the AI predicted 4-0. In the Nottingham Forest vs. Tottenham Hotspur match, Sutton predicted a 1-1 result, while Pizzorno predicted 1-3 and the AI predicted 1-2. For Hull City vs. Aston Villa, Sutton predicted a 0-2 result, while Pizzorno predicted 1-0 and the AI predicted 1-2. In the Everton vs. Manchester United match, Sutton predicted a 1-1 result, while Pizzorno predicted 2-2 and the AI predicted 1-2. Finally, for the Arsenal vs. Chelsea match, Sutton predicted a 3-1 result, while Pizzorno predicted 2-1 and the AI predicted 2-2.
Comparing all predictors, BBC Sport readers achieved six correct results and two exact scores, while the AI got seven correct results and one exact score. Sutton noted that all predictors were correct about three matches: Manchester City’s win at Crystal Palace, Manchester United’s victory over Ipswich, and Arsenal’s success at Aston Villa. However, there were two matches where none of the predictors got the outcome right — Liverpool’s draw with Nottingham Forest and Hull’s win at Coventry.
