🤖 AI vs Humans: Predicting the results of Premier League Matchday 31

Let us know your predictions in the comments!
Last week, we pitted our special guest - Only The Poets frontman Tommy Longhurst - against an AI to see who could most accurately predict the results of Premier League matchday 30.
Tommy correctly called six correct results over the course of the matchday, but was out of luck when it came to correct score predictions.
Meanwhile, the AI correctly predicted Arsenal's 2-1 win over Fulham and Newcastle's 2-1 win over Brentford, plus two correct results.
That leaves the scores (three points for a correct score and one point for a correct result) at 206-180 in the AI's favour after 30 rounds of games this season.
Let's see if this week's special guest, Liverpool fan and virtuoso pianist Brad Kella, can get the human race caught up.
Watch the video to find out what Brad and the AI went for in the three biggest matches of the weekend; Everton v Arsenal, Fulham v Liverpool and Manchester United v Manchester City.
'Journey's End' by Brad Kella is out now. His debut album 'Phoebe's Melody' is set for release on June 6th through Modern Sky UK.

Google AI is worse at Pokemon than I was when I was 5 – taking 800 hours to beat the Elite 4 and having a breakdown when its HP got low

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. If you're someone who thinks AI is almost ready to take over the world, I have some good or bad (depending on your stance on things) news for you: Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro took over 800 hours to beat the 29-year-old children's game Pokemon Blue. There's a Twitch account called Gemini_Plays_Pokemon, a pale imitation of the incredible Twitch Plays Pokemon account that started this trend. First things first: how long did it take the AI to actually complete the game? Well, it was a staggering 813 hours. I feel like you could hit buttons randomly and beat the game faster than that. After some tweaks by the creator of this Twitch channel, the AI managed to halve its time to a still outrageous 406.5 hours. That is actually dead on half the time, which is interesting mathematically but still far too long to beat a game you can win with an overleveled Venusaur. Additionally, as spotted by our friends at PC Gamer, Google DeepMind reported on the Twitch account, and something unusual happens whenever its Pokemon get low on health or power points (PP). Whenever one or both of these conditions are met, "model performance appears to correlate with a qualitatively observable degradation in the model's reasoning capability – for instance, completely forgetting to use the pathfinder tool in stretches of gameplay while this condition persists." This, combined with the AI mistakenly thinking it was playing FireRed and LeafGreen and would need to find the Tea to progress, are part of the reasons it took so long to finish. Honestly, AI just isn't very good at playing Pokemon. Someone else made Claude Plays Pokemon, and that AI spent hours trying to get out of Cerulean city because it kept jumping down a ledge to talk to an NPC it had already spoken to dozens of times. So, these AIs aren't able to beat a game that we could when we barely knew our times tables. Let's not worry about them taking our jobs any time soon. In the meantime, check out the best Pokemon games of all time.

🎥 Remembering when Arsenal sealed the PL title at Old Trafford

🎥 Remembering when Arsenal sealed the PL title at Old Trafford With the 2025/26 Premier League fixtures announced earlier this week, it's worth remembering that Manchester United vs Arsenal remains one of the standout games on the calendar. In fact, Mikel Arteta's side will open their account at Old Trafford on August 17, and while the trip comes early in the campaign, it's a ground where Arsenal have previously won the Premier League. Advertisement In May 2002, Frenchman Sylvain Wiltord scored the only goal in a 1-0 win over the Red Devils to seal the 2001/02 league title - a season in which Arsenal completed the domestic double, having won the FA Cup just days earlier. A mistake from United's Mikaël Silvestre allowed Wiltord to collect the ball in midfield. Arsenal's No.11 then picked out Freddie Ljungberg with an exquisite pass, before firing home the rebound after his teammate's initial effort was saved by United goalkeeper Fabien Barthez It was a decisive goal at a crucial moment for the Gunners, who secured the title that day before lifting the trophy a week later at Highbury following a win over Everton.

John Stones committed to Manchester City: ‘I want to stay here, I love it'

John Stones has committed his future to Manchester City after admitting he questioned whether there was a way back from some 'dark days' during an injury-ravaged season. The England international defender is into his tenth season at Manchester City but foot and hamstring injuries plagued him last season. Advertisement It limited him to only 13 starts in all competitions and the influx of new defenders in the last two transfer windows led to speculation as to whether he could be allowed to leave before his contract expires next summer. 'I'm here, I want to stay here, I love it,' Stones said. 'I'm here to help the team. I don't know what's been said or speculated, but I hope that kind of shuts it down.' Stones made several comebacks last season but each time his body broke down. The last time he made an appearance was in February when he started the second-leg of the Champions League play-off match against Real Madrid but only lasted eight minutes before going down again. 'There's been points where you think, you've been giving all this effort, you dedicate all your life, especially how I approach or go about my life, and football, I give everything, on and off the pitch to be here or be ready to play games and those are the dark days,' he said. 'I think everyone's been through them and think, 'Why is this happening?'. You wish it would go a different path, but like I said, it's self-doubt, there's a lot of things 'All of us have been through different upbringings and challenges through life and what did we do within those situations, was it fight or was it give up? I was a fighter from a young age, in difficult moments, you have to look at the bigger picture and realise what are your morals, what you believe in, and fight to make it worthwhile.' Stones turned 31 last month and is now one of the most senior players with 277 appearances for the club. He is an experienced international player but he found the difficulty of diagnosing and treating his injury problems mentally challenging. 'I don't know what the reason was and we've sat with the medical staff, sports science, to try and figure out why,' he said. 'Some things can't be explained, which is even more testing mentally when there's not really an answer. Advertisement 'I've been unlucky with some of the injuries that I've had, they were very rare last season, after speaking to specialists. Sometimes I think, why has it happened to me? But I've got to deal with that and move forward and try to adapt with how my body's adapting. 'I think we all self-doubt as players and feel things and we want to get back as quick as possible. 'Maybe that's a downfall sometimes that you try to push too soon. Definitely family, I think that's my biggest thing, being around them and having their support. You can feel very lonely at times when you're training by yourself and that's the difficult part of it, being in a team sport, not training with the team when you run out of the pitch in your rehab. 'So a lot of things that you've got to get used to and deal with and try and set yourself goals to come back and it's been a challenge. I am over that hurdle.' City have signed Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis, adding to a central defensive group that includes Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake. Some players and managers have complained about the expanded Club World Cup adding more games to an already packed calendar but Stones is viewing it as an opportunity to re-assert himself. 'I feel great, I'm back fit, ready to help the team when called upon. I think this season I've got to look more detailed into training, things that I can do off the pitch that I can sustain playing a lot more games. 'It's difficult when you're injured, you almost work longer and more, so from that aspect I know the guys mentally and physically have had such a long season. 'I suppose mentally for me it's been difficult dealing with the injuries and the process, but now I've put that behind me and used this as a mini introduction back into before the new season and another trophy for us to hopefully win and get some game time.'
