The Gunners' 10-game winning streak came to an end by the Black Cats before the global break, however will the Premier League frontrunners recover against local foes Spurs this weekend?

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

"The Spurs manager will try to nullify Arsenal, who have not always been at their scintillating finest this campaign - but Mikel Arteta's team typically still find a way to win."

Sutton is forecasting results for all 380 Premier League fixtures this term, versus AI, fans and a range of special visitors.

For week 12, he takes on singer Olly Murs, who is a United supporter.

Murs' new record, the new release, is available on Friday.

Football and Family Experiences

Olly is a skilled footballer as well as a successful artist and has been a star of several charity football matches over time - but he is not planning a serious comeback as a player.

"{I recently played in a benefit match the other night for a friend of mine," he explained. "My team was losing 3-1 when I was substituted in the 60th minute, and they went on to win 4-3, so you can interpret that what you will!

"I continue to love football, but I hurt my knee a few years ago and it even now hasn't fully recovered. I hope I could play more but the uncertainty of the sport means it's too risky for me in my profession to do it seriously again.

"Plus I am forty-one now, and we are not all Cristiano Ronaldo, are we!? No, I am very happy not playing football and I am preparing for the moment that my daughter or son decides to play instead."

Murs and his wife Amelia Tank have two children, Madison and their son, and he is ready to emulate his dad by taking on the role of their manager.

"I will not push football on our kids but I've already told my wife that if they happen to get the bug for it then I will have to go and get my coaching badges - and I will likely be coaching their Saturday football team," he said.

"I observed my relatives play a lot, and I really got into it, and I obviously owned a soccer team for a while too.

"My father did it with us when I was a kid, which is likely where I inherited it. He managed our team for several years and had a wonderful time with it. That could be the future for me as well, and I am looking forward to it!"

Top Division Predictions

Weekend, 22 November

• Turf Moor, 12:30 GMT

The Blues might have to wait a bit longer for their star's comeback from fitness issues but their offense is already more potent with Pedro and Delap both returned to fitness.

I still think this game will be quite tight, though. Burnley are disciplined and their only home losses so far have been against Liverpool and Arsenal.

It suggests a one-all tie to me, but I am actually going to choose the London side to win narrowly for what would be their third consecutive league win in a row.

Sutton's forecast: 1-2

Olly's prediction: Chelsea will be superior. 1-3

Artificial intelligence's outlook: 0-2

• Vitality Stadium, 15:00 GMT

The Cherries have been defeated in their previous couple matches - although both of them were away - but they got absolutely spanked by Villa last time out which surprised me.

In contrast, West Ham secured back-to-back victories before the hiatus and, although both of those fixtures were at their stadium, they appear competitive again.

West Ham's only away win this campaign came at Nottingham Forest in August, when West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo was previously that team's manager.

So, what exactly do I predict here - can West Ham extending their run under Nuno, or Bournemouth responding?

I am going to choose the Cherries, because I think what occurred against Villa was a blip.

The pundit's forecast: 2-0

Olly's prediction: The home team are doing well but West Ham have improved under their boss. 2-2

AI's pick: 1-1

• Amex Stadium, 15:00 GMT

Brentford were seen as one of the frontrunners for relegation before the season began, but they have surprised a several people under Keith Andrews and are in fine fettle with three in their last four matches.

My son told me to get Bees striker Igor Thiago in my Fantasy Football team a few weeks back and, unfortunately, I didn't listen.

The forward will probably find the net again on Saturday but I am nonetheless not going to pick him or support the away side at Amex Stadium.

They have not had much fortune on the travel this season, and Brighton are always decent at their stadium. Brentford will try to hit them on the counter-attack but I feel Fabian Hurzeler's team pose much more of a danger.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

The singer's view: It could be one of those games where you think there is going to be a lot of goals but it actually turns out to be quite close. 1-1

The computer's prediction: 2-1

• Craven Cottage, 15:00 GMT

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

They have got plenty of talent in their team but it nonetheless seems like they could be sucked into a relegation fight.

Regarding Sunderland, indeed they are the unexpected success of the top flight season so far.

Their performance in the 2-2 tie with Arsenal last time out was superb. We've not seen any other team rough up the North London side like that this season, and they were fully competitive for them.

The logical choice to do to support the Black Cats here, because they are obviously capable of disrupting Fulham up too and, the previous occasion they were in west London, they beat the Blues at the close of October.

But I am not choose that. Rather, I really need to carry on going against Sunderland with my forecasts. I am taking a lot of responsibility for their good outcomes because they clearly love to defy my predictions.

Looking at Fulham's at Craven Cottage form, the only side they have been defeated by is the league leaders. Their manager's team will be absolutely desperate for a positive outcome, so I am going to say they will pick up three points.

The expert's forecast: 1-0

The guest's choice: I'm aware the visitors are performing strongly and also that the hosts are on a bad streak... but Fulham have still been respectable at Craven Cottage this campaign. 2-0

The algorithm's outlook: 2-0

• Anfield, 15:00 GMT

This is a hard fixture to predict. Liverpool have suffered seven of their past 10 games in every tournament, but might they be one of the teams who profit from the {international break|
