Ben was born in London, grew up in Dubai and is now based mostly in the US however determined very early on who to assist.

“Primarily based on the place I lived till I used to be 5 or 6, technically I needs to be a Crystal Palace fan,” he informed BBC Sport.

“One among my uncles was on Everton’s books for some time too, however the remainder of my household have been all from the Chelsea space and supported them so I used to be kind of born into that – they’re the workforce I began watching.

“I carried on taking part in soccer after we moved to Dubai within the mid-Nineties and numerous my favorite Chelsea gamers are from that period – Gianfranco Zola was a hero of mine.

“I misplaced contact a bit after I moved to the US as a result of it was more durable to comply with soccer right here again then, however that has modified lots previously few years. It’s miles extra well-liked now.

“I might be utterly mistaken however I put that right down to when David Beckham joined LA Galaxy in 2007. It made an enormous distinction – individuals began taking it extra severely and following it correctly.”

That has made it simpler to look at Chelsea from afar, and sustain with all their managerial adjustments too – together with Thomas Tuchel’s sacking this week and the appointment of Graham Potter.

“It is robust to say now whether or not that was the correct name,” Ben added.

SUTTON’S PREDICTIONSSATURDAYFulham v Chelsea (12:30 BST)

Chelsea have been erratic this season anyway, however what sort of response will we see from them after Thomas Tuchel’s sacking? New supervisor Graham Potter just isn’t going to have time to make a lot distinction forward of this sport.

Chelsea have gotten higher gamers than Fulham, who have been effectively overwhelmed by Tottenham final weekend, however the Cottagers have picked up seven factors from 9 at dwelling to date and I’ve a sense they may get one thing right here too.

Sutton’s prediction: 1-1

Ben’s prediction: That is going to be shut. Fulham have been scoring a couple of targets and Chelsea have clearly been on a little bit of a curler coaster. 1-2

Bournemouth v Brighton

The place do Brighton go subsequent with Graham Potter leaving for Chelsea? We should wait and see.

Bournemouth have already got a caretaker supervisor in cost after Gary O’Neil changed Scott Parker final week, and he did his prospects of getting the job completely no hurt in any respect with that sensible comeback to beat Nottingham Forest.

I’ve to confess I did not see that coming. Parker seemingly did not assume among the Cherries gamers have been as much as Premier League stage, however clearly O’Neil does. That was an enormous consequence for them.

Potter’s exit helps Bournemouth right here too – his departure might have an effect on the Brighton gamers’ perception. There may have been numerous uncertainty on the membership about what occurs subsequent.

However even with out Potter, I might anticipate Brighton to arrange towards Bournemouth of their normal manner, and let’s not neglect that the Seagulls are a extremely good workforce.

Sutton’s prediction: 1-2

Ben’s prediction: We’re going to reside close to Brighton after we transfer again to the UK so I’ve to go together with them right here. They’ve been doing higher than I anticipated anyway. 0-2

Leicester v Aston Villa

We should always name this one ‘El Sackio’ as a result of the way forward for each managers is unsure.

I noticed Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers interviewed after they misplaced 5-2 to Brighton final weekend and, to me, he regarded like a person who does not actually need to be there anymore.

Steven Gerrard has been underneath strain too, however no less than he has one thing to construct on after getting a draw with Manchester Metropolis.

There are such a lot of connections between the 2 managers, from Liverpool – the place Gerrard performed underneath Rodgers on the finish of his profession – to Glasgow, the place they have been rivals as managers of Rangers and Celtic.

Add all that into the combo, and two groups who’re struggling this season, and there’s a lot to play for.

I am going for Villa to win it, primarily as a result of Leicester are so unhealthy on the again. One thing just isn’t proper there, and so they at all times seem like they will concede targets.

Sutton’s prediction: 1-2

Ben’s prediction: 1-2

Liverpool v Wolves

It is nowhere close to as unhealthy as Leicester’s state of affairs however one thing just isn’t proper with Liverpool’s defence both. Their excessive line was uncovered by Napoli on Wednesday, when the Reds saved getting opened up.

Each time I’ve predicted a Liverpool sport this season, I’ve anticipated Jurgen Klopp’s facet to bounce again after they’ve dropped factors or performed badly, and put it right down to a blip.

Nevertheless it looks as if that is greater than a blip, which is why I’m going for a shock right here.

Liverpool will rating, I am sure of that, however I additionally assume Wolves will be capable of trigger them issues.

Wolves’ normal difficulty is that they do not rating sufficient targets, and I am unsure Diego Costa is the reply there, however I can see them getting a couple of possibilities at Anfield.

I do know my visitor this week, Ben, is mates with Motley Crue – which is an excellent manner of describing Liverpool’s defence this season.

Sutton’s prediction: 1-2

Ben’s prediction: 2-0

Southampton v Brentford

This fixture is totally unimaginable to foretell! Final season Southampton gained 4-1 at St Mary’s then misplaced 3-0 at Brentford, which sort of underlines how up and down each groups are.

The warmth was on Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl in the beginning of this marketing campaign however, from what I’ve seen, they may win sufficient video games to remain up.

Brentford have gotten targets in them too, as they confirmed once more towards Leeds final week. Individuals did not anticipate that sort of attacking efficiency from the Bees towards Manchester United both, though I did.

I do not like going for a lot of attracts – it feels a bit gutless to not decide a winner – however I am unable to break up these two.

Sutton’s prediction: 2-2

Ben’s prediction: 1-2

Man Metropolis v Tottenham (17:30)

Tottenham are arguably the perfect counter-attacking workforce within the nation, and the way in which that Manchester Metropolis arrange fits them – as we noticed when Spurs gained at Etihad Stadium in February.

I am anticipating one other extraordinarily open sport on Saturday as a result of Metropolis by no means change the way in which they play, however with a distinct consequence as a result of I simply cannot see Erling Haaland being outshone by Harry Kane or Son Heung-min.

I feel Son will get off the mark this season – he’s in my Fantasy workforce, you see – however I additionally need to again Haaland to attain, and Metropolis will not find yourself empty-handed this time.

Sutton’s prediction: 3-3

Ben’s prediction: That is going to be an excellent match. 2-1

SUNDAYArsenal v Everton (14:00)

Arsenal deserved one thing from their defeat by Manchester United final weekend.

I’ve seen Gunners boss Mikel Arteta criticised for going for broke too early when he made his triple substitution at Outdated Trafford – however there was lower than 20 minutes left when he made that change, with United successful 2-1, and I do not see an issue with happening the assault like that.

This may not be simple for Arsenal as a result of Everton have gotten an excellent spirit about them, which has bought them some extent of their previous 4 video games, and so they have some harmful gamers on the break too. The query is, will that be sufficient to get the Toffees something right here?

Will probably be attention-grabbing to see how Arsenal juggle their squad with their Europa League marketing campaign beginning this week however they’ve loads of creativity of their ranks and, if Gabriel Jesus performs on Sunday, the Gunners ought to edge this.

Sutton’s prediction: 2-1

Ben’s prediction: Arsenal will win, it is only a query of what number of they may rating. 3-0

West Ham v Newcastle

I felt for West Ham after the debacle at Stamford Bridge. Maxwel Cornet’s disallowed purpose for the Hammers was one of many worst selections of all time.

Newcastle have been equally onerous finished by, nonetheless, and for Tyrick Mitchell’s personal purpose to be dominated out was most likely a fair worse name.

Each groups may have some extent to show this weekend, and this needs to be a cracking match.

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe’s attacking method means they may take the sport to West Ham and cargo our bodies into the opposition field – and that may go well with David Moyes’ facet, who like to interrupt with tempo.

I am going with the Hammers, and for Moyes to get a little bit of luck this time.

Sutton’s prediction: 2-1

Ben’s prediction: 0-0

Crystal Palace v Man Utd (16:30)

Everybody appears to be getting carried away with Manchester United, who in some individuals’s eyes have gone from being the worst workforce on this planet to the perfect facet within the nation, within the area of three weeks.

In actuality, they’re nonetheless someplace within the center. United have finished very effectively to win their previous 4 league video games, however they will have a blip sooner or later.

Crystal Palace, who beat United at Selhurst Park on the finish of final season, have gotten some proficient gamers and can fancy their probabilities of repeating that consequence.

However I just like the look of United’s defence and they’re going to nonetheless carry a menace, so I’m going to go together with them to increase their successful run – nearly.

Sutton’s prediction: 0-1

Ben’s prediction: I really feel like United are going to win it, however I’ve to offer Palace one thing right here. 1-1

MONDAYLeeds v Nottingham Forest (20:00)

I have been getting numerous stick from followers of each of those groups – with Leeds it was as a result of I stated in the beginning of the season that they’d go down and, from Nottingham Forest supporters, it was as a result of I’ve predicted they’d endure a few heavy defeats.

Leeds followers have been actually getting on my case in August after I was saying they’d lose video games – however perhaps that is not a foul factor from their viewpoint as a result of, each time I’ve predicted they’d get a optimistic consequence, they bought overwhelmed.

Let’s examine what occurs right here. I feel dwelling benefit will assist Leeds and their high-intensity model lots, and we’re nonetheless ready for Forest to knit collectively after signing so many gamers.

I could also be mistaken however I feel for Forest to lose at dwelling to Bournemouth final week, after main 2-0, might have been actually damaging for them, and their assist.

We should always discover out a bit about Forest’s resilience with their response at Elland Highway as a result of I’m anticipating Leeds to go at them fairly ferociously, however their subsequent sport, at dwelling to Fulham, already seems to be large.

Sutton’s prediction: 3-1

Ben’s prediction: 2-1
