Aston Villa Aims for Tenth Consecutive Win Against Manchester United

Aston Villa is on a remarkable winning streak, having secured nine consecutive victories across all competitions. The team now faces Manchester United on Sunday, with hopes of reaching double figures.

BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton noted, "Villa has come from behind in three of those matches and hasn't kept a clean sheet in their last four games. However, their attacking prowess has been impressive, and Morgan Rogers is in outstanding form. They never seem to give up."

Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, competing against AI, BBC Sport readers, and various guests.

This week, he will be joined by Zambian musician and rapper Sampa the Great, who recently released her new single, "Can't Hold Us," featured in the EAFC 26 video game.

Meanwhile, the Africa Cup of Nations kicks off on Sunday, and Sampa is eager to see how Zambia, the 2012 champions, performs in Morocco. "I’m crossing my fingers because I still cherish that victory. It was an unforgettable moment," she shared with BBC Sport. "I’m excited and hopeful for our chances this time. We've recently restructured and appointed a new coach, Moses Sichone, so I believe that can give us an extra push."

"It’s not just Zambia I’ll be watching; I’m a huge Afcon fan, and I have a friendly rivalry with my friends, especially when their teams get eliminated! Afcon is a significant event for us, and when it arrives, everything else seems to pause as we focus on the tournament. It’s a thrilling time when the whole continent comes together to celebrate."

Chris Sutton and Sampa the Great spoke to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. The AI predictions were generated using Microsoft Copilot Chat, which was tasked with predicting this weekend's Premier League scores.
