The Gunners' 10-game victorious streak was ended by Sunderland before the international hiatus, however will the Premier League leaders recover against north London rivals Tottenham this Sunday?

"{I believe like Arsenal are miles ahead of Tottenham currently but Spurs boss Thomas Frank will have a strategy for this match," remarked football expert Chris Sutton.

"Frank will attempt to nullify Arsenal, who have not always been at their scintillating best this campaign - but Mikel Arteta's side typically still find a way to win."

Sutton is forecasting results for all 380 Premier League games this season, against artificial intelligence, fans and a range of guests.

In week 12, he faces singer Olly Murs, who is a Manchester United fan.

The singer's new record, the new release, is out on Friday.

Soccer and Family Experiences

Olly is a skilled footballer as well as a accomplished singer and has been a star of multiple charity football matches down the years - but he is not intending a serious return as a player.

"{I recently played in a benefit game the other evening for a friend of mine," he explained. "The side was losing 3-1 when I was substituted in the second half, and they went on to win 4-3, so you can interpret that what you will!

"I continue to love football, but I injured my knee a few years ago and it still isn't where I want it to be. I wish I could play more but the uncertainty of the game means it's too risky for me in my profession to do it properly again.

"Plus I am 41 now, and we are not all Cristiano Ronaldo, are we!? No, I am very happy not playing football and I am gearing up for the time that my child or son decides to play instead."

Murs and his wife his partner have two children, their daughter and Albert, and he is prepared to emulate his dad by taking on the role of their coach.

"I won't force football on our kids but I've already told Amelia that if they do get the passion for it then I will have to go and get my coaching badges - and I will likely be managing their weekend football side," he said.

"I observed my relatives play a lot, and I really got into it, and I obviously was involved with a soccer team for a period too.

"My dad coached with us when I was a child, which is likely where I get it from. He managed our side for two or three years and had great fun with it. That might be the future for me as well, and I am excited to it!"

Premier League Predictions

Saturday, 22 November

• Turf Moor, 12:30 GMT

The Blues might have to wait a bit longer for Cole Palmer's return from injury but their offense is now more potent with Pedro and Liam Delap both returned to fitness.

I still think this fixture will be fairly close, however. The Clarets are well organised and their only at Turf Moor losses so far have been against the Reds and Arsenal.

This smells of a 1-1 tie to me, but I am in fact going to choose the London side to edge it for what would be their third consecutive league win in a row.

Sutton's forecast: 1-2

Olly's prediction: The Blues will be too strong. 1-3

AI's outlook: 0-2

• Vitality Stadium, 15:00 GMT

Bournemouth have lost their past two games - albeit both of them were away - but they got absolutely spanked by Aston Villa last time out which shocked me.

In contrast, the Hammers won back-to-back victories before the international break and, although both of those games were at home, they appear competitive again.

West Ham's only away win this season came at Forest in August, when their manager Nuno was still that team's manager.

So, what on earth do I predict here - can West Ham extending their streak under their manager, or the home side bouncing back?

I will choose the Cherries, because I think what happened against Villa was a blip.

Sutton's prediction: 2-0

Olly's outlook: Bournemouth are performing strongly but the visitors have improved under their boss. 2-2

The algorithm's pick: 1-1

• Amex Stadium, 15:00 GMT

Brentford were considered one of the frontrunners for the drop before the season began, but they have impressed a few observers under their manager and are in good form with three in their past four matches.

My son advised me to get Bees forward Thiago in my Fantasy Football squad a few weeks back and, unfortunately, I ignored the advice.

Thiago will probably score again on the weekend but I am still not going to select him or back the away side at Brighton's ground.

They have not had much fortune on the travel this term, and Brighton are consistently decent at home. The visitors will try to attack on the counter-attack but I feel the home manager's team pose much more of a threat.

The analyst's prediction: 2-1

The singer's prediction: This could be one of those games where you expect there is going to be a many goals but it actually proves to be rather tight. 1-1

AI's outcome: 2-1

• Craven Cottage, 15:00 GMT

It is a huge fixture for the Cottagers, who have suffered defeat in five of their last six matches.

Fulham have have plenty of quality in their team but it still seems like they could be dragged into a drop zone fight.

Regarding the Black Cats, well they are the surprise package of the Premier League season so far.

The away side's display in the 2-2 draw with the Gunners last time out was superb. We have not seen anyone else rough up the Gunners like that this season, and Sunderland were more than a match for them.

The sensible thing would be to support the visitors here, because they are obviously able of roughing Fulham up too and, the previous occasion they were in this part of London, they beat the Blues at the close of last month.

But I am not do that. Rather, I really need to continue opposing the away team with my predictions. I am claiming a lot of credit for their positive outcomes because they evidently enjoy to prove me wrong.

Considering the home side's at Craven Cottage form, the sole team they have been defeated by is the league leaders. Marco Silva's team will be extremely eager for a good outcome, so I am going to say they will pick up three points.

Sutton's forecast: 1-0

The guest's prediction: I know Sunderland are doing well and also that Fulham are on a bad streak... but they have still been decent at Craven Cottage this season. 2-0

The algorithm's prediction: 2-0

• Anfield, 15:00 GMT

It is a tough one to predict. The Reds have suffered seven of their past 10 games in all competitions, but might they be among the teams who profit from the {international break|
