The Gunners' 10-game winning run came to an end by Sunderland prior to the international break, however will the English top division leaders bounce back against north London rivals Tottenham this Sunday?

"{I believe like Arsenal are miles ahead of Tottenham at the moment but Spurs manager Thomas Frank will have a strategy for this match," remarked football specialist Chris Sutton.

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

Sutton is forecasting results for all 380 Premier League fixtures this season, versus artificial intelligence, readers and a variety of guests.

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

The singer's new record, Knees Up, is available on Friday.

Soccer and Parenting Experiences

Olly is a skilled soccer player as well as a accomplished singer and has been a star of several charity football games over time - but he is not planning a serious comeback as a footballer.

"{I recently played in a charity game the other night for a mate of mine," he said. "My team was trailing 3-1 when I came off in the second half, and they went on to win 4-3, so you can read into that what you will!

"I still love football, but I injured my knee a few years ago and it still isn't where I want it to be. 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.

"Additionally I am 41 now, and we are not everyone is Cristiano Ronaldo, are we!? No, I am very happy not playing football and I am gearing up for the moment that my daughter or boy decides to play instead."

The singer and his wife Amelia Tank have two children, their daughter and their son, and he is ready to follow in his father's footsteps by becoming their manager.

"I will not force football on our children but I've already told my wife that if they do get the passion for it then I will have to go and get my manager qualifications - and I will likely be managing their Saturday football team," he said.

"I observed my relatives play a lot, and I truly got into it, and I obviously owned 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 coached our team for two or three seasons and had great fun with it. That might be the future for me as well, and I am excited to it!"

Premier League Forecasts

Weekend, 22 November

• Turf Moor, 12:30 GMT

The Blues may have to wait a bit longer for Cole Palmer's comeback from fitness issues but their attack is already stronger with Pedro and Liam Delap both back fit.

I still think this fixture will be fairly close, however. Burnley are disciplined and their only home losses so far have been against Liverpool and Arsenal.

It smells of a 1-1 tie to me, but I am actually going to go with Chelsea to edge it for what would be their third consecutive league win in a row.

The expert's forecast: 1-2

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

AI's prediction: 0-2

• Vitality Stadium, 15:00 GMT

Bournemouth have been defeated in their past two games - although both of them were away - but they got thoroughly beaten 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 do look strong again.

The Hammers' only on the road victory this campaign came at Forest in the summer, when West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo was previously that team's coach.

Therefore, what on earth do I go with here - can the Hammers extending their streak under their manager, or Bournemouth bouncing back?

I will choose Bournemouth, because I believe what occurred against Aston Villa was a blip.

Sutton's forecast: 2-0

Olly's outlook: Bournemouth are performing strongly but West Ham have picked up under Nuno. 2-2

The algorithm's prediction: 1-1

• Amex Stadium, 15:00 GMT

Brentford were seen as one of the frontrunners for relegation before the campaign began, but they have impressed a several observers under Keith Andrews and are in good form with three in their past four games.

My son advised me to select Brentford forward Thiago in my fantasy soccer team a few weeks ago and, guess what, I ignored the advice.

Thiago will likely find the net again on the weekend but I am nonetheless not going to select him or support the away side at Brighton's ground.

They have not had much success on the travel this term, and Brighton are always decent at home. Brentford will attempt to attack on the counter-attack but I think the home manager's side carry much more of a danger.

The analyst's prediction: 2-1

Olly's prediction: It could be a match where you think there is going to be a many goals but it actually turns out to be rather tight. 1-1

The computer's outcome: 2-1

• Craven Cottage, 15:00 GMT

It is a huge fixture for the Cottagers, who have lost five of their past six matches.

Fulham have have lots of quality in their squad but it nonetheless seems like they could be sucked into a drop zone battle.

Regarding the Black Cats, well they are the surprise package of the top flight season so far.

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

The logical choice would be to support the visitors here, because they are obviously able of disrupting the hosts up too and, the previous occasion they were in this part of London, they defeated Chelsea at the close of October.

But I am not going to choose that. Rather, I truly need to continue going against Sunderland with my predictions. I am claiming a lot of credit for their positive outcomes because they clearly enjoy to prove me wrong.

Looking at the home side's home record, the sole side they have been defeated by is Arsenal. Their manager's team will be extremely eager for a positive outcome, so I am going to say they will secure three points.

The expert's prediction: 1-0

Olly's prediction: I know the visitors are doing well and also that the hosts are on a bad run... but they have nonetheless been decent at home this season. 2-0

The algorithm's prediction: 2-0

• Anfield, 15:00 GMT

It is a tough one to call. Liverpool have lost seven of their past 10 matches in all competitions, but could they be one of the sides who profit from the {international break|
