Arsenal's 10-game winning run came to an end by Sunderland prior to the global break, however will the English top division frontrunners bounce back against north London rivals Tottenham this Sunday?

"{I feel like Arsenal are miles ahead of Tottenham at the moment but Spurs manager Thomas Frank will have a plan for this game," remarked football expert 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 typically still manage to win."

The analyst is forecasting results for all 380 Premier League fixtures this season, against artificial intelligence, fans and a range of special visitors.

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

The singer's latest album, Knees Up, is available on the weekend.

Soccer and Parenting Life

Murs is a talented soccer player as well as a successful singer and has been a featured player of several Soccer Aid games over time - but he is not intending a serious comeback as a player.

"{I recently played in a charity game the other evening for a mate of mine," he explained. "The side was trailing 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 injured my knee 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.

"Additionally I am 41 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 daughter or boy chooses to play instead."

The singer and his wife Amelia Tank have a young family, Madison and their son, and he is ready to emulate his dad by becoming their manager.

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

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

Top Division Forecasts

Saturday, 22 November

• Turf Moor, 12:30 GMT

Chelsea may have to be patient for Cole Palmer's return from fitness issues but their attack is now more potent with Pedro and Delap both back fit.

I still think this fixture will be quite close, however. The Clarets are disciplined and their sole home losses so far have been against Liverpool and the Gunners.

It smells of a 1-1 draw 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.

Sutton's forecast: 1-2

Olly's pick: The Blues will be superior. 1-3

AI's prediction: 0-2

• Vitality Stadium, 15:00 GMT

Bournemouth have lost their previous couple matches - albeit both of them were away - but they got absolutely spanked by Villa last time out which surprised me.

In contrast, the Hammers secured back-to-back victories before the international break and, although both of those fixtures were at their stadium, they appear strong again.

The Hammers' only on the road win this campaign came at Nottingham Forest in the summer, when their boss Nuno was still Forest manager.

Therefore, what on earth do I predict here - can the Hammers continuing their run under their manager, or Bournemouth bouncing back?

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

Sutton's prediction: 2-0

Olly's prediction: Bournemouth are performing strongly but West Ham have improved under their boss. 2-2

AI's pick: 1-1

• Amex Stadium, 15:00 GMT

The Bees were considered one of the frontrunners for relegation before the season began, but they have impressed a few people under Keith Andrews and are in good form with three wins in their last four matches.

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

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

They have not had great success on the travel this season, and Brighton are always strong at home. The visitors will attempt to attack on the break but I feel Fabian Hurzeler's side carry much more of a threat.

Sutton's forecast: 2-1

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

AI's outcome: 2-1

• Craven Cottage, 15:00 GMT

This is a huge game for the Cottagers, who have suffered defeat in five of their last six games.

They have got lots of talent in their squad but it nonetheless feels like they could be sucked into a drop zone fight.

As for Sunderland, well they are the unexpected success of the top flight campaign so far.

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

The sensible thing to do to back the Black Cats here, because they are obviously capable of disrupting the hosts up too and, the previous occasion they were in west London, they beat Chelsea at the end of last month.

However I am not choose that. Instead, I really need to carry on going against the away team with my predictions. I am claiming a lot of credit for their good outcomes because they clearly enjoy to prove me wrong.

Considering Fulham's home form, the only side they have lost to is the league leaders. Their manager's side will be absolutely desperate for a positive outcome, so I am going to predict they will pick up three much-needed points.

The expert's forecast: 1-0

The guest's prediction: I know the visitors are doing well and additionally that the hosts are on a bad streak... but Fulham have still been respectable at Craven Cottage this season. 2-0

The algorithm's prediction: 2-0

• Anfield, 15:00 GMT

It is a tough one to call. Liverpool have suffered seven of their last ten matches in every tournament, but could they be among the sides who benefit from the {international break|
