We asked AI for its Premier League predictions ahead of week two of the new domestic season, with some interesting results.
The Premier League returned with a bang last week, as two of the three promoted sides earned shock victories.
Leeds United overcame Everton 1-0 at Elland Road thanks to a dubious penalty for handball.
And Sunderland thrashed West Ham 3-0 at the Stadium of Light in an emphatic victory.
Champions Liverpool left it late to beat Bournemouth, while a much-improved Manchester United were edged out 1-0 by Arsenal.
But looking ahead to week two of the season, there are just as many juicy encounters.
London rivals West Ham and Chelsea face off, while Manchester City host perennial bogey team Tottenham.
But perhaps the pick of the games is Newcastle Vs Liverpool. The transfer saga over Newcastle striker Alexander Isak and Liverpool beating the Magpies to Hugo Ekitike has added an extra layer of spice to an already compelling matchup.
Liverpool are the favourites for that one, with UK betting sites pricing them around 21/20, and Newcastle at 5/2.
But ahead of the action, we have asked AI for its predictions for each of the weekend’s 10 Premier League fixtures.
