Sutton's predictions v Ella and Jake from Jamie Johnson FC

Breaking news from the world of sport: Sutton's predictions v Ella and Jake from Jamie Johnson FC Published 30 April 2026 Manchester City have beaten Everton at Goodison Park in each of the past eight seasons, but can they repeat that result on their first visit to Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday? "This is a huge test for City's title bid, and probably the toughest of their remaining fixtures," said Sport football expert Chris Sutton. Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against AI, Sport readers and a variety of guests.

For week 35, he takes on two stars of CBBC football drama Jamie Johnson FC (JJFC), which is set in the world of an elite academy at fictional Premier League club Hawx United. Jake Quickenden's character, Richie, leads a storyline that explores conversations around male role models and boys' mental health. His co-star Ella plays Charlie, who is affected by his behaviour.

Match Details

"The show has always tackled serious and topical issues off the pitch," Jake told Sport. "With this storyline, we examine the modern pressures that boys face and the exploitative nature of some online communities. "We see that kind of behaviour from Richie who, as Hawx first-team captain, is a role model for some of the club's younger players.

"Richie is very false. He is all smiles for the cameras but, when they aren't running, he is actually a very manipulative and narcissistic, horrible human being. He affects Ella's character, Charlie, because of the way he influences some of the boys who are her team-mates.

"They begin to look at the girls as if they are not worthy, because that is Richie's agenda - to make the guys think they are much better, and that the girls don't belong in football. "It's important to reflect that this kind of thing is happening in real life, but what is also important is the way the other characters react when they realise what Richie is doing, and how they deal with it together. " Series four of Jamie Johnson features cameo appearances by Sam Allardyce, Ollie Watkins and Mary Earps.
