Chris 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.

First up this weekend is Chelsea's trip to the Hammers.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

This is a very difficult game to call because West Ham have not been playing particularly well and I am not convinced by Chelsea either. They were very fortunate to beat Bournemouth last time out.

I really do not have a clue how this one will go, so I suppose the sensible thing for me to go for is a draw.

Smith's prediction: 2-1

We always do well against Chelsea, especially at home. I don't think they have been amazing so far this season and, although we haven't either, I do reckon we will beat them.

I'd love to say there will be loads of goals but I don't mind what the score is, as long as we win.
