Arsenal's 10-game winning run was ended by Sunderland prior to the global break, however will the Premier League frontrunners recover against north London rivals Tottenham this weekend?

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

"The Spurs manager will try to neutralize Arsenal, who have not always been at their scintillating finest this season - but Mikel Arteta's side typically still manage to win."

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

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

Murs' latest album, Knees Up, is available on Friday.

Football and Family Experiences

Olly is a talented soccer player as well as a successful artist and has been a featured player of multiple Soccer Aid matches over time - but he is not planning a serious comeback as a footballer.

"{I recently played in a charity match the other night for a friend of mine," he said. "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 will!

"I still love football, but I injured my joint 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 sport means it's too dangerous for me in my profession to do it properly again.

"Additionally I am forty-one 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 time that my child or boy decides to play instead."

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

"I won't push 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 coaching badges - and I will likely be coaching their weekend football team," he said.

"I observed my nephews play a lot, and I truly got into it, and I clearly owned a football club for a while too.

"My father coached with us when I was a child, which is probably where I get it from. He coached our team for several seasons and had great fun with it. That might be the future for me as well, and I am looking forward to it!"

Top Division Predictions

Weekend, 22 November

• Turf Moor, 12:30 GMT

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

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

It suggests a 1-1 draw to me, but I am actually going to choose the London side to edge it for what would be their third consecutive league win in a row.

The expert's prediction: 1-2

Olly's prediction: 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 matches - although both of them were on the road - but they got absolutely spanked by Aston Villa last time out which shocked me.

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

The Hammers' sole away win this campaign came at Forest in the summer, when West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo was still that team's manager.

So, what exactly do I go with here - will it be the Hammers extending their streak under their manager, or the home side bouncing back?

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

Sutton's prediction: 2-0

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

The algorithm's pick: 1-1

• Amex Stadium, 15:00 GMT

Brentford were considered one of the frontrunners for the drop before the campaign started, but they have impressed a several observers under Keith Andrews and are in fine fettle with three in their past four matches.

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

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

They have not had great success on the road this season, and the Seagulls are always strong at their stadium. Brentford will attempt to attack on the counter-attack but I think Fabian Hurzeler's team carry much more of a danger.

Sutton's forecast: 2-1

The singer's prediction: This could be one of those games where you think there is going to be a lot of goals but it in reality turns out to be rather tight. 1-1

The computer's prediction: 2-1

• Craven Cottage, 15:00 GMT

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

They have got plenty of talent in their team but it still seems like they could be dragged into a relegation fight.

Regarding the Black Cats, well they are the unexpected success of the top flight season so far.

Their performance in the two-all tie with the Gunners last time out was superb. We have not seen any other team rough up the Gunners like that this season, and Sunderland were fully competitive for them.

The logical choice to do to support the visitors here, because they are obviously capable of roughing Fulham up too and, the last time they were in west London, they beat Chelsea at the end of October.

However I am not do that. Rather, I really need to continue going against the away team with my forecasts. I am taking a lot of credit for their positive results because they clearly enjoy to prove me wrong.

Considering the home side's home form, the only side they have lost to is Arsenal. Their manager's side will be absolutely eager for a good result, so I am going to predict they will secure three points.

Sutton's prediction: 1-0

Olly's choice: I'm aware the visitors are doing well and additionally that the hosts are on a poor run... but they have still been decent at home this season. 2-0

The algorithm's outlook: 2-0

• Anfield, 15:00 GMT

It is a tough one to predict. The Reds have lost seven of their past 10 games in all competitions, but might they be among the sides who benefit from the {international break|
