Arsenal's ten-match winning run came to an end by Sunderland before the global break, but can the Premier League frontrunners recover 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 game," stated football specialist Chris Sutton.

"Frank 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 term, versus AI, fans and a range of guests.

In the twelfth round, he takes on singer Olly Murs, who is a United supporter.

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

Murs is a skilled footballer as well as a accomplished artist and has been a featured player of several Soccer Aid games over time - but he is not planning a serious comeback as a player.

"{I recently played in a benefit match the other night for a mate of mine," he said. "My side was trailing 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 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 career 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 preparing for the time that my child or son decides to play instead."

The singer and his spouse Amelia Tank have a young family, Madison and Albert, and he is ready to emulate his dad by taking on the role of their coach.

"I won't push football on our kids 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 coaching badges - and I will likely be coaching their Saturday soccer side," he said.

"I observed my nephews 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 inherited it. He managed our side for several years and had a wonderful time with it. That could be the future for me as well, and I am excited to it!"

Premier League Forecasts

Weekend, 22 November

• Turf Moor, 12:30 GMT

Chelsea might have to be patient for their star's return from injury but their attack is already more potent with Pedro and Delap both back fit.

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

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

The expert's prediction: 1-2

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

AI's prediction: 0-2

• Vitality Stadium, 15:00 GMT

The Cherries have been defeated in their previous couple games - albeit both of them were away - but they got absolutely spanked by Aston Villa last time out which shocked me.

On the other hand, the Hammers secured two in a row before the hiatus and, although both of those fixtures were at their stadium, they appear strong again.

The Hammers' sole away victory this season came at Forest in the summer, when their boss Nuno Espirito Santo was previously Forest manager.

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

I am going to choose Bournemouth, because I think what occurred against Villa was a anomaly.

The pundit's forecast: 2-0

Olly's outlook: The home team are performing strongly but West Ham have picked up under their boss. 2-2

The algorithm's prediction: 1-1

• Amex Stadium, 15:00 GMT

Brentford were considered one of the frontrunners for relegation before the campaign started, but they have impressed a several people under their manager and are in fine fettle with three wins in their last four matches.

My son told me to get Bees striker Thiago in my Fantasy Football team a few weeks ago and, guess what, I didn't listen.

Thiago will probably find the net again on the weekend but I am still not going to select him or back Brentford at Brighton's ground.

The Bees have not had great success on the road this season, and Brighton are always strong at home. Brentford will attempt to hit them on the counter-attack but I feel the home manager's team pose much more of a threat.

Sutton's forecast: 2-1

The singer's prediction: It could be one of those games where you expect there is going to be a lot of scores but it actually proves to be rather close. 1-1

The computer's prediction: 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 plenty of quality in their team but it still seems like they could be dragged into a relegation fight.

As for the Black Cats, well they are the surprise package of the top flight campaign so far.

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

The sensible thing to do to back the Black Cats here, because they are clearly able of disrupting Fulham up too and, the last time they were in this part of London, they beat the Blues at the end of last month.

But I am not going to do that. Rather, I truly need to carry on going against Sunderland with my predictions. I am claiming a lot of responsibility for their positive results because they evidently love to defy my predictions.

Considering the home side's at Craven Cottage record, the only side they have been defeated by is Arsenal. Marco Silva's team will be extremely eager for a good result, so I am going to predict they will secure three much-needed points.

The expert's prediction: 1-0

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

AI's outlook: 2-0

• Anfield, 15:00 GMT

It is a tough fixture to call. Liverpool have suffered seven of their past 10 matches in every tournament, but could they be among the teams who profit from the {international break|
