Sutton's predictions: Bournemouth v Wolves
Wolves ran Liverpool close at Anfield last weekend and Matheus Cunha showed his quality with his wonderful goal that gave them hope in that game.That performance should give Vitor Pereira's struggling side real belief and I am expecting them to put up a fight here too, but I just can't back against Bournemouth.The way the Cherries attack, with the amount of shots they get on target, makes them hard to stop and I can't see anything other than a home win.Andoni Iraola's side are right in the mix for the Champions League places now, and that race is very interesting.Liverpool and Arsenal will finish first or second but, after that, there are a few teams in with a chance, especially because fifth place could be enough this season.I'm going for Manchester City to finish in my top five, along with Nottingham Forest. On current form, Bournemouth will make it too, which would be an incredible achievement.Sutton's prediction: 2-1Read the full predictions and have your say here

Victoria Beckham says she ‘could not be prouder' of David Beckham's knighthood
The former England captain, who played for his country 115 times, was honoured for his services to sport and charity. He married Lady Beckham, also known as Posh Spice, in 1999 and the pair share four children together, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper. A post shared by Victoria Beckham (@victoriabeckham) In a post shared on Saturday on Instagram, Lady Beckham said: 'You've always been my knight in shining armour, but now it's official. Sir @davidbeckham!!! 'What an honour, I couldn't be prouder of you. Your dedication to the things that matter most — your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family — has never wavered. 'The way you've touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday. 'But above all else, I'm so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much xxxx.' The football star, who was formerly appointed an officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2003, responded to the post by expressing his love for his family, mentioning each of his children and adding 'I love you all'. Sir David first made his Premier League debut for United in 1995 and was part of the team that earned a dramatic Champions League final victory in 1999 when they beat Bayern Munich with two late goals. In total he scored 85 goals and collected honours including six Premier League titles and two FA Cups as a footballer, before retiring from the sport in 2013. Alongside his footballing career, the sports star is also a supporter of a number of charity causes including being a founding member of the charity Malaria No More UK's leadership council. Sir David was also named as an ambassador last year for the King's Foundation, an educational charity established by the King in 1990 and has been a Goodwill Ambassador for the humanitarian aid organisation Unicef since 2005. In a statement to the PA News Agency, Sir David said: 'Growing up in east London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour. 'To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career and literally a boyhood dream come true. 'Off the pitch I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to represent Britain around the world and work with incredible organisations that are supporting communities in need and inspiring the next generation. 'I'm so lucky to be able to do the work that I do and I'm grateful to be recognised for work that gives me so much fulfilment. 'It will take a little while for the news to sink in but I'm immensely proud and it's such an emotional moment for me to share with my family.' The businessman is also the co-founder of Studio99, the production company behind the hit Netflix series, Beckham, and is a part-owner of MLS side Inter Miami. He is also known for his fashion and was named most stylish man of the year by GQ magazine in 1998, has modelled for the likes of H&M, Armani and Boss, and was appointed ambassadorial president of the British Fashion Council (BFC) in 2018 where he assisted in its search for young British talent from all backgrounds. Sir David is not the only fashion star in the family, with his wife Lady Beckham launching an eponymous fashion label in 2008 followed by a beauty brand in 2019.

Erik ten Hag identifies shock Premier League target to replace Liverpool-bound Florian Wirtz at Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen have made enquiries about Bournemouth forward Justin Kluivert after selling Florian Wirtz to Liverpool. Mail Sport reported this week that the Reds have struck an agreement for Wirtz that could rise to an English record £116million including bonuses, such as winning the Premier League and Champions League. With Wirtz set to become the third-most expensive signing in football history, Leverkusen have wasted no time in using the windfall to line up his replacement. Ten Hag and Kluivert briefly crossed paths at Ajax during the former Manchester United manager's first six months with the Eredivisie side. An Amsterdam native, Kluivert worked his way through Ajax's youth setup before making his first-team debut in January 2017. A year later, Ten Hag joined and saw out four-and-a-half years with the Dutch side. But Kluivert left in June 2018 after 56 appearances for the club - six months into Ten Hag's reign. Kluivert then spent three seasons at Roma, with the last being a season-long loan at Leipzig. After two more loan spells - at Nice and Valencia - the 26-year-old has finally settled at Bournemouth, where he recently enjoyed the most prolific campaign of his career. Kluivert registered 18 goal contributions in 34 Premier League games across the 2024-25 season.
