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.
Tottenham host Brentford on Saturday at 15:00 BST.
Sutton’s prediction: 2-1
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou made changes for their Carabao Cup game against Coventry and, while they won and the end justified the means, you have got to say it looked pretty dicey for them when they trailed 1-0 after 88 minutes.
A lot has been made about Postecoglou talking about always winning a trophy in his second season, but I have heard what he said and it has been taken out of context. Now, no matter what he says about it, people are going to use it as a stick to beat him with.
This is a tricky game for Spurs and no-one is surprised anymore by the organisation we saw from Brentford against Manchester City last week, or how devastating they were when they got a chance early on.
But the Bees are without Yoane Wissa after his injury at Etihad Stadium, and he is a big miss for them.
My worry for Spurs at the moment is that, this season, they have not been as clinical or creative with the final pass when they get in the final third of the pitch as they have been previously under Ange.
They will have to be better at that here, but they are at home and I am backing them to get over the line.
James’s prediction: 2-1
Brentford are a decent team but I still think Tottenham will find this much easier than they did against Arsenal last weekend. 2-1.
