Arsenal's 10-game winning streak was ended by Sunderland prior to the global break, however will the English top division leaders bounce back against north London rivals Spurs this Sunday?

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

"Frank will try 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 games this term, versus artificial intelligence, fans and a range of special visitors.

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

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

Football and Family Life

Olly is a talented footballer as well as a successful artist and has been a featured player of several charity football games down the years - but he is not planning a professional comeback as a player.

"{I recently played in a benefit game the other night for a mate of mine," he explained. "My side was trailing 3-1 when I came off in the 60th minute, and they went on to win 4-3, so you can interpret that what you want!

"I still love football, but I hurt my knee a few years ago and it still hasn't fully recovered. I wish I could play more but the unpredictability of the sport means it's too dangerous for me in my career to do it properly again.

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

The singer and his wife his partner have a young family, Madison and their son, and he is ready to follow in his father's footsteps by taking on the role of their manager.

"I will not force football on our kids but I've previously told my wife that if they do get the bug for it then I will have to go and get my coaching badges - and I will likely be managing their weekend soccer side," he added.

"I observed my nephews play a lot, and I truly got into it, and I obviously owned a soccer team for a period too.

"My father coached with us when I was a kid, which is probably where I get it from. He managed our side for several years and had a wonderful time with it. That could be the next step for me as well, and I am excited to it!"

Top Division Predictions

Saturday, 22 November

• Turf Moor, 12:30 GMT

Chelsea may have to be patient for their star's comeback from injury but their attack is now more potent with Pedro and Delap both returned to fitness.

I still think this game will be quite tight, however. The Clarets are disciplined and their only at Turf Moor defeats so far have been against the Reds and Arsenal.

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

The expert's prediction: 1-2

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

AI's outlook: 0-2

• Vitality Stadium, 15:00 GMT

The Cherries have been defeated in their past two games - albeit both of them were on the road - but they got thoroughly beaten by 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 home, they appear competitive again.

West Ham's only away win this campaign came at Forest in the summer, when their boss Nuno Espirito Santo was still Forest manager.

Therefore, what on earth do I predict here - will it be West Ham extending their run under their manager, or the home side responding?

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

Sutton's prediction: 2-0

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

AI's prediction: 1-1

• Amex Stadium, 15:00 GMT

Brentford were considered one of the favourites for the drop before the campaign began, but they have impressed a few people under their manager and are in good form with three wins in their last four matches.

My son told me to select Brentford forward Igor Thiago in my Fantasy Football squad a few weeks ago and, unfortunately, I didn't listen.

Thiago will likely score again on Saturday but I am still not going to select him or back the away side at Amex Stadium.

They have not had great success on the road this season, and the Seagulls are always strong at home. Brentford will attempt to hit them on the counter-attack but I feel Fabian Hurzeler's side pose much more of a threat.

The analyst's prediction: 2-1

The singer's prediction: It could be a match where you expect there is going to be a many goals but it actually proves to be quite tight. 1-1

The computer's prediction: 2-1

• Craven Cottage, 15:00 GMT

This is a huge game for Fulham, who have lost five of their past six games.

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

Regarding the Black Cats, indeed they are the unexpected success of the Premier League campaign so far.

Their display in the 2-2 tie with the Gunners last time out was superb. We've not seen any other team disrupt the North London side like that this season, and Sunderland were fully competitive for them.

The sensible thing would be to back the visitors here, because they are obviously capable of roughing the hosts up too and, the previous occasion they were in west London, they beat Chelsea at the close of last month.

However I am not do that. Instead, I truly need to continue going against the away team with my predictions. I am claiming a lot of credit for their positive results because they clearly enjoy to defy my predictions.

Looking at the home side's home form, the only side they have lost to is the league leaders. Marco Silva's side will be extremely desperate for a positive result, so I am going to say they will secure three points.

The expert's forecast: 1-0

The guest's choice: I'm aware the visitors are performing strongly and also that Fulham are on a poor streak... but they have nonetheless been respectable at home this campaign. 2-0

The algorithm's outlook: 2-0

• Anfield, 15:00 GMT

It is a tough one to predict. Liverpool have suffered seven of their last ten matches in all competitions, but might they be among the teams who profit from the {international break|
