Manchester City have won their first seven Premier League games of the season but will their 100% record survive Saturday's trip to an improving Aston Villa side? "Villa have beaten City in this fixture in each of the past three years under Unai Emery," said BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton. "They will fancy it this time too - they are seven unbeaten in all competitions, and flying at the moment." Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against AI, BBC Sport readers and a variety of guests.
For week eight, he takes on Waffle the Wonder Dog and his owner Simon, who is played by actor James Merry. Waffle's After School Club, featuring James and Waffle, is available on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer right now, with lots of fun after-school adventures for families to enjoy together.

Waffle is a talking dog whose adventures on his show often end in chaos for Simon and the rest of his family. Like most dogs, he loves football - or at least loves chasing one. "I am an enthusiastic baller," Waffle told BBC Sport.
"But technically my best position is right-back... on the sofa. "My favourite player is the England captain, Harry Kane-9, and I'm a Liverpool fan so my all-time hero is Kenny Dog-leash. "My fur is red and I am a poodle so of course I support the Reds, or Liverpoodle as I like to call them - they never walkies alone." In real life, actor James Merry is an Aston Villa fan, who has a long connection with the club.
