Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against a variety of guests.
For week five, he takes on singer-songwriter and West Ham fan James Smith whose debut album Common People is out now.
Liverpool host Bournemouth at 15:00 BST on Saturday.
Sutton’s prediction: 2-0
Arne Slot’s side responded well to their defeat against Nottingham Forest last Saturday to win at AC Milan in the Champions League but this is an interesting game and I don’t think the Reds will have things all their own way.
Slot has got to marry his side’s journey in Europe with their Premier League campaign and that is not easy to navigate. Too many of their players were below their best against Forest, especially Mohamed Salah.
Liverpool’s midfield were not quite there either, and they were really wasteful with their final ball, although at the same time you have to recognise that Forest were superb.
Bournemouth are an awkward team under Andoni Iraola and have deserved more than they have got from a couple of games already this season.
I don’t think this is going to be easy for Liverpool but I am not going to base this prediction on what I saw from them last week. Instead, because their response was good in Milan, I am going to say they can’t play as badly as they did against Forest.
Therefore, I think they will create chances and I am backing them to be a bit more ruthless, and take them.
Smith’s prediction: 3-1
Liverpool have got an amazing squad, and they play great football. Manchester City are going to win the league again but I am backing Liverpool to push them really close.
