Arsenal's 10-game winning run was ended by the Black Cats before the international break, however can the Premier League frontrunners recover against local foes Tottenham this weekend?

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

"The Spurs manager will attempt to neutralize Arsenal, who have not always been at their scintillating best this season - but Mikel Arteta's side usually still find a way to win."

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

In the twelfth round, he faces performer Olly Murs, who is a United supporter.

The singer's new record, the new release, is available on the weekend.

Football and Family Experiences

Olly is a talented soccer player as well as a successful singer and has been a star of multiple charity football games over time - but he is not intending a professional comeback as a player.

"{I actually played in a charity game the other evening for a friend of mine," he explained. "The team was trailing 3-1 when I was substituted in the 60th minute, and they proceeded to win 4-3, so you can read into that what you want!

"I still love football, but I hurt 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 unpredictability of the game 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 everyone is Cristiano Ronaldo, are we!? No, I am very content not playing football and I am preparing for the time that my child or son chooses to play instead."

Murs and his wife his partner have two children, Madison and Albert, and he is ready to follow in his father's footsteps by becoming their coach.

"I will not push football on our children but I've previously told my wife that if they happen to get the bug for it then I will have to go and get my manager qualifications - and I will likely be managing their weekend soccer team," he added.

"I observed my nephews play a lot, and I truly got into it, and I clearly was involved with a soccer team for a while too.

"My dad coached with us when I was a kid, which is likely where I get it from. He managed our side for several seasons and had a wonderful time 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 their star's return from fitness issues but their attack is already more potent with Pedro and Liam Delap both back fit.

In my opinion this game will be fairly close, though. Burnley are well organised and their sole at Turf Moor losses so far have been against the Reds and Arsenal.

This smells of a one-all tie to me, but I am in fact going to go with Chelsea to win narrowly for what would be their third consecutive Premier League win in a row.

The expert's prediction: 1-2

The singer's pick: Chelsea will be superior. 1-3

Artificial intelligence's outlook: 0-2

• Vitality Stadium, 15:00 GMT

The Cherries have lost their past two matches - although both of them were away - but they got thoroughly beaten by Aston Villa last time out which surprised me.

On the other hand, West Ham won back-to-back victories before the international break and, although both of those games were at their stadium, they appear competitive again.

The Hammers' only away win this season came at Forest in the summer, when their manager Nuno Espirito Santo was still Forest coach.

Therefore, what on earth do I go with here - will it be the Hammers continuing their run under their manager, or Bournemouth bouncing back?

I will go with the Cherries, because I believe what occurred against Aston Villa was a anomaly.

The pundit's prediction: 2-0

The guest'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 relegation before the season started, but they have surprised a several observers under their manager and are in fine fettle with three wins in their last four games.

A family member told me to select Brentford forward Igor Thiago in my Fantasy Football squad a few weeks back and, unfortunately, I didn't listen.

Thiago will probably score again on the weekend but I am nonetheless not going to pick him or support Brentford at Amex Stadium.

They have not had much success on the road this term, and Brighton are consistently decent at home. Brentford will try to attack on the break but I feel Fabian Hurzeler's side carry much more of a threat.

The analyst's forecast: 2-1

Olly's prediction: It could be a match where you expect there is going to be a lot of scores but it in reality turns out to be rather close. 1-1

The computer's prediction: 2-1

• Craven Cottage, 15:00 GMT

It is a massive fixture for the Cottagers, who have lost five of their last six games.

Fulham have got lots of talent in their squad but it still seems like they could be sucked into a relegation battle.

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

Their display in the 2-2 draw with Arsenal last time out was excellent. We've not seen any other team rough up the North London side like that this season, and Sunderland were more than a match for them.

The logical choice to do to back the visitors here, because they are clearly capable of roughing the hosts up too and, the previous occasion they were in this part of London, they defeated Chelsea at the close of last month.

But I am not going to do that. Instead, I truly need to carry on going against Sunderland with my forecasts. I am claiming a lot of responsibility for their good outcomes because they evidently enjoy to prove me wrong.

Looking at Fulham's at Craven Cottage form, the only team they have been defeated by is Arsenal. Their manager's side will be extremely eager for a good result, so I am going to predict they will secure three points.

The expert's prediction: 1-0

The guest's prediction: I know the visitors are doing well and additionally that the hosts are on a bad run... but they have nonetheless been respectable at home this campaign. 2-0

The algorithm's prediction: 2-0

• Anfield, 15:00 GMT

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