The Gunners' ten-match winning streak came to an end by Sunderland prior to the international hiatus, however can the Premier League frontrunners recover against local foes Tottenham this Sunday?

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

"The Spurs manager will attempt to neutralize Arsenal, who have not always been at their sparkling finest this campaign - but Mikel Arteta's team usually still find a way to win."

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

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

The singer's new album, Knees Up, is out on the weekend.

Soccer and Family Experiences

Olly is a skilled footballer as well as a successful artist and has been a star of several Soccer Aid matches down the years - but he is not intending a professional comeback as a player.

"{I recently played in a benefit match the other evening for a friend of mine," he explained. "The 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 want!

"I still love football, but I hurt my joint a few years ago and it even now hasn't fully recovered. I hope I could play more but the unpredictability of the game means it's too dangerous for me in my profession to do it seriously again.

"Plus I am forty-one now, and we are not all Cristiano Ronaldo, are we!? No, I am very content not playing football and I am preparing for the moment that my daughter or boy decides to play instead."

The singer and his wife Amelia Tank 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 coach.

"I won't push football on our children 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 manager qualifications - and I will likely be managing their Saturday football side," he added.

"I watched my nephews play a lot, and I truly got into it, and I obviously was involved with a football club for a while too.

"My father coached with us when I was a kid, which is probably where I get it from. He coached our team for two or three 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

Saturday, 22 November

• Turf Moor, 12:30 GMT

The Blues may have to be patient for Cole Palmer's comeback from injury but their attack is now more potent with Joao Pedro and Liam Delap both returned to fitness.

I still think this fixture will be fairly close, however. The Clarets are disciplined and their sole at Turf Moor defeats so far have been against Liverpool and Arsenal.

This suggests a 1-1 tie to me, but I am in fact going to choose the London side to win narrowly for what would be their third league win in a row.

The expert's prediction: 1-2

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

Artificial intelligence's outlook: 0-2

• Vitality Stadium, 15:00 GMT

Bournemouth have lost their previous couple games - although both of them were away - but they got thoroughly beaten by Villa last time out which surprised me.

On the other hand, West Ham won two in a row before the international break and, although both of those games were at home, they do look strong again.

West Ham's sole away win this campaign came at Forest in August, when their manager Nuno Espirito Santo was still Forest manager.

So, what exactly do I predict here - can West Ham continuing their streak under their manager, or Bournemouth responding?

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

Sutton's forecast: 2-0

The guest's outlook: Bournemouth are doing well but West Ham have picked up under their boss. 2-2

AI's prediction: 1-1

• Amex Stadium, 15:00 GMT

The Bees were considered one of the favourites for relegation before the season began, but they have surprised a several observers under their manager and are in good form with three in their past four games.

My son told me to get Brentford striker Thiago in my fantasy soccer team a few weeks back and, unfortunately, I ignored the advice.

Thiago will likely find the net again on the weekend but I am nonetheless not going to pick him or back the away side at Brighton's ground.

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

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

Olly's view: It could be a match where you expect there is going to be a lot of goals but it actually turns out to be quite tight. 1-1

AI's outcome: 2-1

• Craven Cottage, 15:00 GMT

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

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

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

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

The sensible thing would be to back the Black Cats here, because they are clearly capable of roughing Fulham up too and, the last time they were in this part of London, they beat Chelsea at the end of last month.

But I am not going to do that. Instead, I really need to continue going against the away team with my forecasts. I am taking a lot of responsibility for their good results because they evidently love to prove me wrong.

Looking at the home side's home record, the only side they have been defeated by is Arsenal. Marco Silva's side will be absolutely eager for a good outcome, so I am going to say they will pick up three points.

The expert's prediction: 1-0

Olly's prediction: I know the visitors are doing well and additionally that the hosts are on a bad streak... but Fulham have nonetheless been decent at home this season. 2-0

The algorithm's prediction: 2-0

• Anfield, 15:00 GMT

This is a hard one to call. Liverpool have lost seven of their past 10 games in every tournament, but might they be among the teams who benefit from the {international break|
