Arsenal's 10-game victorious streak came to an end by Sunderland prior to the global hiatus, however will the Premier League leaders recover against local foes Tottenham this Sunday?

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

"The Spurs manager will try to nullify Arsenal, who have not always been at their scintillating best this campaign - but Mikel Arteta's side usually still find a way to win."

The analyst is forecasting results for all 380 Premier League games this season, versus AI, readers and a variety of special visitors.

In week 12, he takes on performer Olly Murs, who is a United fan.

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

Soccer and Parenting Experiences

Murs is a skilled soccer player as well as a accomplished artist and has been a star of multiple Soccer Aid games down the years - but he is not planning a serious comeback as a player.

"{I actually played in a charity game the other night for a friend of mine," he said. "The side was trailing 3-1 when I was substituted in the second half, and they went on to win 4-3, so you can interpret that what you will!

"I still love football, but I injured my knee a few years ago and it still hasn't fully recovered. I wish I could play more but the uncertainty of the game means it's too dangerous for me in my profession to do it properly 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 daughter or son decides to play instead."

Murs and his wife his partner have two children, Madison and Albert, and he is prepared to follow in his father's footsteps by taking on the role of their coach.

"I won't force football on our children but I've previously told Amelia that if they happen to get the passion for it then I will have to go and get my manager qualifications - and I will probably be managing their Saturday soccer team," he said.

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

"My father coached with us when I was a child, which is likely where I inherited it. He coached our team for two or three seasons and had a wonderful time with it. That might be the future for me as well, and I am looking forward to it!"

Premier League Forecasts

Saturday, 22 November

• Turf Moor, 12:30 GMT

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

In my opinion this fixture will be quite tight, however. The Clarets are disciplined and their sole home losses so far have been against the Reds and Arsenal.

It suggests a 1-1 tie to me, but I am in fact going to choose Chelsea to edge it for what would be their third Premier League win in a row.

Sutton's prediction: 1-2

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

Artificial intelligence's outlook: 0-2

• Vitality Stadium, 15:00 GMT

Bournemouth have been defeated in their past two 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 games were at their stadium, they appear competitive again.

The Hammers' only away victory this season came at Nottingham Forest in August, when their manager Nuno was still that team's manager.

So, what on earth do I predict here - can the Hammers extending their streak under their manager, or Bournemouth responding?

I will choose Bournemouth, because I think what occurred against Aston Villa was a blip.

Sutton's prediction: 2-0

The guest'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 seen as one of the favourites for relegation before the season began, but they have surprised a several observers under Keith Andrews and are in good form with three in their past four games.

My son advised me to get Bees striker Igor Thiago in my fantasy soccer team a few weeks ago and, guess what, I ignored the advice.

Thiago will probably find the net again on Saturday but I am still not going to select him or support the away side at Amex Stadium.

The Bees have not had great success on the travel this season, and Brighton are always decent at their stadium. The visitors will try to hit them on the break but I feel Fabian Hurzeler's side carry much more of a danger.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

Olly's view: It could be one of those games where you think there is going to be a lot of scores but it in reality proves to be quite tight. 1-1

AI's prediction: 2-1

• Craven Cottage, 15:00 GMT

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

Fulham have got plenty of talent in their squad but it still feels like they could be dragged into a drop zone fight.

Regarding the Black Cats, indeed they are the surprise package of the Premier League season so far.

Their performance in the two-all tie with Arsenal last time out was excellent. We have not witnessed anyone else rough up the Gunners like that this term, and Sunderland were more than a match for them.

The sensible thing to do to support the Black Cats here, because they are clearly capable of disrupting the hosts up too and, the last time they were in west London, they defeated the Blues at the close of last month.

However I am not do that. Instead, I truly need to carry on opposing the away team with my forecasts. I am claiming a lot of responsibility for their positive results because they clearly enjoy to prove me wrong.

Looking at the home side's at Craven Cottage form, the only team they have lost to is the league leaders. Their manager's side will be absolutely desperate for a good outcome, so I am going to say they will pick up three much-needed points.

Sutton's prediction: 1-0

Olly's choice: I'm aware Sunderland are performing strongly and also that the hosts are on a bad streak... but Fulham have nonetheless been respectable at Craven Cottage this campaign. 2-0

AI'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 one of the teams who benefit from the {international break|
