The Gunners' 10-game victorious streak was ended by the Black Cats prior to the global break, however will the Premier League leaders bounce back against local foes Spurs 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 try to nullify Arsenal, who have not always been at their sparkling 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 fixtures this term, against AI, fans and a range of guests.

For the twelfth round, he takes on performer Olly Murs, who is a Manchester United fan.

The singer's latest album, Knees Up, is out on Friday.

Olly is a skilled footballer as well as a accomplished artist and has been a featured player of multiple charity football games down the years - but he is not planning a serious comeback as a footballer.

"{I recently played in a benefit match the other evening for a mate of mine," he explained. "My side was losing 3-1 when I came off 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 even now hasn't fully recovered. I hope I could play more but the uncertainty of the sport 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 content not playing football and I am preparing for the time that my daughter or boy decides to play instead."

The singer and his wife his partner have two children, their daughter and Albert, and he is ready to emulate his dad by becoming their manager.

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

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

"My dad did it with us when I was a kid, which is likely where I inherited it. He coached our side for two or three seasons and had great fun with it. That could be the next step for me as well, and I am excited to it!"

Top Division Forecasts

Weekend, 22 November

• Turf Moor, 12:30 GMT

Chelsea might have to wait a bit longer for Cole Palmer's comeback from injury but their attack is already stronger with Pedro and Delap both returned to fitness.

In my opinion this fixture will be quite close, though. The Clarets are well organised and their sole home losses so far have been against the Reds and the Gunners.

This suggests a one-all draw to me, but I am in fact going to go with Chelsea to edge it for what would be their third Premier League win in a row.

The expert's forecast: 1-2

The singer's prediction: Chelsea will be too strong. 1-3

Artificial intelligence's prediction: 0-2

• Vitality Stadium, 15:00 GMT

The Cherries have lost their past two games - albeit both of them were on the road - but they got thoroughly beaten by Villa last time out which shocked me.

In contrast, West Ham secured two in a row before the international break and, although both of those games were at home, they do look strong again.

The Hammers' sole away win this season came at Forest in August, when their boss Nuno Espirito Santo was previously that team's manager.

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

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

The pundit's forecast: 2-0

The guest's outlook: Bournemouth are doing well but West Ham have improved under Nuno. 2-2

AI's prediction: 1-1

• Amex Stadium, 15:00 GMT

The Bees were seen as one of the frontrunners for the drop before the campaign started, but they have impressed a several people under their manager and are in good form with three in their last four matches.

My son told me to select Bees striker Igor Thiago in my fantasy soccer squad a few weeks back and, guess what, I didn't listen.

The forward will probably find the net again on Saturday but I am nonetheless not going to select him or back Brentford at Brighton's ground.

The Bees have not had much fortune on the road this term, and the Seagulls are consistently strong at their stadium. The visitors will try to attack on the counter-attack but I feel the home manager's side carry much more of a threat.

Sutton's prediction: 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 quite close. 1-1

The computer's outcome: 2-1

• Craven Cottage, 15:00 GMT

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

They have have lots of quality in their squad but it still seems like they could be sucked into a relegation fight.

As for Sunderland, well they are the surprise package of the top flight season so far.

The away side's display in the 2-2 tie with Arsenal last time out was excellent. We have not seen any other team disrupt the Gunners like that this term, and Sunderland were more than a match for them.

The logical choice to do to support the visitors here, because they are clearly capable of disrupting the hosts up too and, the previous occasion they were in west London, they defeated the Blues at the close of October.

However I am not going to do that. Instead, I truly need to carry on going against the away team with my predictions. I am taking a lot of responsibility for their good outcomes because they evidently enjoy to defy my predictions.

Considering the home side's home record, the sole side they have lost to is Arsenal. Their manager's side will be extremely desperate for a good result, so I am going to say they will pick up three much-needed points.

Sutton's prediction: 1-0

Olly's prediction: I know Sunderland are performing strongly and additionally that the hosts are on a poor streak... but Fulham have still been respectable at Craven Cottage this season. 2-0

AI's outlook: 2-0

• Anfield, 15:00 GMT

This is a hard fixture to predict. Liverpool have lost seven of their last ten games in every tournament, but could they be among the teams who benefit from the {international break|
