"I suspect Chelsea will give Arsenal lots of the ball and try to counter-attack quickly," said BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton. "The Blues have got some brilliant creativity in Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers and Joao Pedro, but the fact they are vulnerable at the back could undermine them." Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against AI, BBC Sport readers and a variety of guests. For week three, he takes on Kasabian frontman Serge Pizzorno, who is a Leicester City fan. Kasabian's ninth album, Act III, is out on Friday, 4 September, and they tour the UK in December. 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.

Since then, they have seen their side reach the Champions League quarter-finals, lift the FA Cup and Community Shield, win promotion from the Championship and suffer three relegations, including last season when they went down to League One. "Promotion!" said Serge. "It has to be. I love the play-offs, so a win at Wembley would do me." A new-look Leicester side took their first step towards bouncing back when they picked up their opening win of the season against Plymouth on Tuesday, but Serge added Russell Martin's youthful side will need time to fully find their feet in the third tier. "I hope they get it," he said. "Patience is so important in football, and young teams should play with no fear." Chris Sutton and Serge Pizzorno were speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. The AI predictions were generated using Microsoft Copilot Chat - we simply asked the tool to 'predict this weekend's Premier League scores'. What information do we collect from this quiz?Portman Road, 20:00 BST My daughter's old maths teacher, Mr Fields, is an Ipswich fan and he is very excited about how ambitious the club has been since getting promoted. I think all their supporters must be the same. Ipswich have spent almost £200m on a stack of new signings to try to stay in the Premier League and, watching them, it is clear they are not just planning to park the bus. They will be confident for this game after beating Sunderland at home on the opening weekend and I am expecting them to have a real go at Liverpool too. It will be interesting to see if new signing Bradley Barcola starts for the Reds, who seem to have a lot of attacking players who like to play off the left. Boss Andoni Iraola has plenty of attacking options, but I still have concerns about them defensively, while his players adjust to his front-foot pressing style. I am sure he will get it right eventually, but at the moment they are leaking goals and creaking at the back. My gut feeling is Ipswich will score, but Liverpool will still edge the win after two successive 2-2 draws. If their attack clicks, it will be hard to keep them out. What information do we collect from this quiz?St James' Park, 12:30 Newcastle have started the season superbly with four points, and it feels like they have changed the mood at St James' Park after a difficult summer. There's no doom and gloom about the place despite them losing several key players and, after predicting they would lose their first two games, I feel differently about their prospects now. Things can change very quickly of course and a home defeat by Bournemouth would see a lot of that optimism disappear. But, so far, I've been really impressed by Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa looks like he has got his confidence back. I like the way new manager Matthias Jaissle has set them up to hit teams on the counter-attack, and Nico Gonzalez looks like a sensible signing too. I called Newcastle 'a development club' before their first game, because of the type of players they have bought and sold this summer, but while their midfield is quite youthful, they have now got Nico in there to give them a bit of extra clout. Bournemouth haven't won yet, but only because they have let leads slip away late on, first against Manchester City and then at home to Everton. Cherries boss Marco Rose is another manager who likes to play on the front foot and they are certainly capable of getting something here, even though I have gone for a home win.
