Sutton vs Stone: Premier League Week 13 Predictions (AI Edition)

Week 13 of the Premier League brings fresh predictions as Chris Sutton faces off against rapper Kofi Stone and an AI forecast. Fans will see three angles on the same weekend: human intuition, a guest perspective, and machine-based odds for the 380 league games this season.

How the predictions work: Predicting whether a team will win, lose or draw earns 10 points for the correct result, while getting the exact score yields 40 points.

Meet the competitors

Kofi Stone is an Aston Villa supporter whose football journey began in Birmingham after his uncle handed him a Villa shirt. He recalls idolising players such as Darius Vassell, Thomas Hitzlsperger, Juan Pablo Angel and Gabriel Agbonlahor, and he jokes about how his loyalties shifted before coming back to Villa.

For this challenge, Stone shares insider insight from a fan’s perspective and adds his own take on where results might swing in Week 13.

Chris Sutton, the seasoned pundit, faces the weekend with an aim to outguess both his guest and the AI model. The AI forecasts were produced by asking Microsoft Copilot Chat to predict the weekend’s scores, blending human judgment with machine analysis.
