Arsenal's 10-game victorious run came to an end by Sunderland prior to the international break, however can the English top division leaders bounce back against local foes Tottenham this weekend?

"{I believe like Arsenal are miles ahead of Tottenham at the moment but Spurs boss Thomas Frank will have a plan for this match," stated soccer expert Chris Sutton.

"Frank will try to neutralize Arsenal, who have not always been at their sparkling finest this campaign - but Mikel Arteta's team typically still find a way to win."

The analyst is forecasting results for all 380 Premier League games this term, against artificial intelligence, fans and a variety of special visitors.

In the twelfth round, he faces performer Olly Murs, who is a United fan.

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

Football and Family Experiences

Olly is a skilled soccer player as well as a accomplished artist and has been a featured player of several charity football matches down the years - but he is not intending a professional comeback as a footballer.

"{I recently played in a charity match the other evening for a mate 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 read into that what you want!

"I still love football, but I hurt my knee a few years ago and it still 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 career 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 son chooses to play instead."

Murs and his wife Amelia Tank have two children, their daughter and their son, and he is prepared to emulate his dad by becoming their coach.

"I won't force football on our children but I've already told my wife that if they happen to get the bug for it then I will have to go and get my manager qualifications - and I will likely be coaching their Saturday soccer side," he said.

"I observed my nephews play a lot, and I truly got into it, and I obviously owned 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 coached our side for several years and had a wonderful time with it. That might 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 comeback from injury but their attack is now more potent with Pedro and Delap both returned to fitness.

In my opinion this game will be quite close, however. The Clarets are disciplined and their only at Turf Moor defeats so far have been against Liverpool and Arsenal.

It smells of a one-all tie to me, but I am in fact going to go with Chelsea to edge it for what would be their third consecutive league win in a row.

The expert's forecast: 1-2

The singer's pick: The Blues will be too strong. 1-3

AI's outlook: 0-2

• Vitality Stadium, 15:00 GMT

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

On the other hand, the Hammers won back-to-back victories before the hiatus and, although both of those games were at their stadium, they appear strong again.

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

Therefore, what on earth do I go with here - will it be West Ham extending their run under Nuno, or the home side responding?

I am going to choose the Cherries, because I believe what occurred against Villa was a blip.

Sutton's forecast: 2-0

The guest's outlook: Bournemouth are performing strongly but the visitors have improved under Nuno. 2-2

The algorithm's pick: 1-1

• Amex Stadium, 15:00 GMT

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

My son advised me to get Brentford striker Thiago in my Fantasy Football squad a few weeks back and, unfortunately, I ignored the advice.

The forward will probably score again on the weekend but I am nonetheless not going to select him or support the away side at Brighton's ground.

They have not had great success on the travel 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 danger.

Sutton's forecast: 2-1

The singer'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 turns out to be quite tight. 1-1

AI's prediction: 2-1

• Craven Cottage, 15:00 GMT

This is a massive game for the Cottagers, who have lost five of their last six matches.

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

Regarding the Black Cats, indeed they are the unexpected success of the Premier League campaign so far.

The away side's display in the two-all draw with the Gunners last time out was superb. We have not seen anyone else disrupt the Gunners like that this season, 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 last time they were in this part of London, they defeated Chelsea at the end of October.

But I am not going to choose that. Instead, I really need to carry on opposing the away team with my predictions. I am claiming a lot of responsibility for their positive results because they clearly enjoy to prove me wrong.

Considering the home side's at Craven Cottage form, the only team they have lost to is the league leaders. Marco Silva's team will be absolutely desperate for a positive outcome, so I am going to predict they will pick up three much-needed points.

The expert's forecast: 1-0

Olly's choice: I'm aware the visitors are doing well and additionally that Fulham are on a poor streak... but Fulham have still been decent at Craven Cottage this campaign. 2-0

AI's outlook: 2-0

• Anfield, 15:00 GMT

This is a tough one to predict. Liverpool have suffered seven of their past 10 games in every tournament, but could they be among the teams who profit from the {international break|
