The Gunners' 10-game winning run came to an end by Sunderland prior to the global break, but can the Premier League frontrunners recover against north London rivals Tottenham this weekend?

"{I believe like Arsenal are light years ahead of Tottenham currently but Spurs boss Thomas Frank will have a plan for this game," remarked soccer expert Chris Sutton.

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

The analyst is forecasting results for all 380 Premier League fixtures this term, against artificial intelligence, fans and a variety of guests.

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

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

Soccer and Parenting Life

Olly is a talented footballer as well as a accomplished artist and has been a featured player of multiple Soccer Aid matches over time - but he is not intending a professional comeback as a footballer.

"{I recently played in a charity match the other evening for a mate of mine," he said. "My team was losing 3-1 when I was substituted in the second half, and they proceeded to win 4-3, so you can interpret that what you will!

"I continue to love football, but I injured my joint a few years ago and it even now isn't where I want it to be. I wish I could play more but the unpredictability of the sport means it's too risky for me in my profession to do it seriously again.

"Plus 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 child or boy decides to play instead."

Murs and his wife Amelia Tank have a young family, Madison and their son, and he is prepared to follow in his father's footsteps by taking on the role of their manager.

"I won't force football on our children but I've previously told Amelia 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 coaching their weekend football team," he added.

"I observed my relatives play a lot, and I really got into it, and I obviously was involved with a soccer team for a while 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 seasons and had great fun with it. That might be the next step for me as well, and I am excited to it!"

Premier League Forecasts

Weekend, 22 November

• Turf Moor, 12:30 GMT

Chelsea may have to wait a bit longer for their star's comeback from fitness issues but their offense is now more potent with Joao Pedro and Liam Delap both returned to fitness.

In my opinion this game will be fairly close, however. The Clarets are well organised and their only home losses so far have been against the Reds and Arsenal.

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

The expert's prediction: 1-2

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

Artificial intelligence's prediction: 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 Aston Villa last time out which shocked me.

In contrast, the Hammers won two in a row before the international break and, although both of those fixtures were at home, they appear strong again.

West Ham's sole on the road win this campaign came at Nottingham Forest in August, when their boss Nuno Espirito Santo was previously that team's manager.

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

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

Sutton's prediction: 2-0

The guest's prediction: The home team are doing well but the visitors have improved under their boss. 2-2

The algorithm's prediction: 1-1

• Amex Stadium, 15:00 GMT

Brentford were seen as one of the favourites for relegation before the season started, but they have impressed a several observers under Keith Andrews and are in good form with three in their last four matches.

My son told me to select Brentford striker Igor Thiago in my Fantasy Football squad a few weeks ago and, unfortunately, I ignored the advice.

The forward will probably find the net 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 road this season, and Brighton are always decent at their stadium. Brentford will attempt to hit them on the counter-attack but I feel Fabian Hurzeler's team pose much more of a danger.

The analyst's prediction: 2-1

The singer's view: This could be a match where you expect there is going to be a many goals but it in reality proves to be rather tight. 1-1

AI's outcome: 2-1

• Craven Cottage, 15:00 GMT

This is a massive fixture for Fulham, who have suffered defeat in five of their past six games.

They have have lots of talent in their team 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.

Their performance in the two-all draw with the Gunners last time out was superb. We've not witnessed any other team disrupt the North London side like that this season, and Sunderland were more than a match for them.

The logical choice would be to support the Black Cats here, because they are clearly able of disrupting Fulham up too and, the previous occasion they were in west London, they defeated the Blues at the close of October.

But I am not do that. Rather, I really need to continue opposing Sunderland with my predictions. I am taking a lot of credit for their positive outcomes because they evidently love to defy my predictions.

Looking at the home side's at Craven Cottage record, the only side they have lost to is Arsenal. Their manager's side will be extremely eager for a positive result, so I am going to predict they will secure three points.

The expert's prediction: 1-0

The guest's choice: I'm aware the visitors are doing well and also that Fulham are on a bad streak... but Fulham have nonetheless been decent at Craven Cottage this season. 2-0

The algorithm's outlook: 2-0

• Anfield, 15:00 GMT

It is a tough fixture to call. Liverpool have lost seven of their last ten games in every tournament, but could they be among the teams who benefit from the {international break|
