The Gunners' ten-match victorious streak was ended by the Black Cats prior to the international hiatus, but will the Premier League frontrunners recover against north London rivals Spurs this Sunday?

"{I feel like Arsenal are miles ahead of Tottenham currently but Spurs boss Thomas Frank will have a strategy for this match," stated football expert Chris Sutton.

"Frank will attempt to neutralize Arsenal, who have not always been at their sparkling best this season - but Mikel Arteta's side usually still manage to win."

The analyst is forecasting results for all 380 Premier League games this season, against AI, fans and a range of special visitors.

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

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

Olly is a talented soccer player as well as a accomplished artist and has been a star of multiple charity football games over time - but he is not intending a serious comeback as a footballer.

"{I recently played in a benefit match the other evening for a mate of mine," he said. "My side was trailing 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 will!

"I still love football, but I injured my joint a few years ago and it even now isn't where I want it to be. I hope 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.

"Additionally I am 41 now, and we are not all Cristiano Ronaldo, are we!? No, I am very content not playing football and I am preparing for the time that my daughter or boy chooses to play instead."

The singer and his wife his partner have two children, Madison and Albert, and he is prepared to follow in his father's footsteps by becoming their coach.

"I will not force football on our kids but I've already told Amelia that if they happen to get the bug for it then I will have to go and get my coaching badges - and I will likely be coaching their weekend soccer side," he added.

"I watched my relatives play a lot, and I really got into it, and I obviously owned a football club for a while too.

"My dad did it with us when I was a child, which is probably where I get it from. He coached our team for two or three years and had great fun with it. That could be the next step for me as well, and I am looking forward to it!"

Premier League Forecasts

Saturday, 22 November

• Turf Moor, 12:30 GMT

The Blues may have to wait a bit longer for their star'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 game will be fairly tight, though. The Clarets are well organised and their only at Turf Moor defeats so far have been against Liverpool and Arsenal.

This smells of a 1-1 tie to me, but I am in fact going to go with the London side to edge it for what would be their third league win in a row.

The expert's forecast: 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 - albeit both of them were away - but they got absolutely spanked by 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 fixtures were at their stadium, they do look strong again.

The Hammers' sole on the road win this season came at Forest in August, when West Ham boss Nuno was still Forest coach.

So, what on earth do I predict here - can the Hammers continuing their streak under Nuno, or the home side bouncing back?

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

The pundit's forecast: 2-0

The guest's prediction: Bournemouth are doing well but the visitors have improved under their boss. 2-2

The algorithm's prediction: 1-1

• Amex Stadium, 15:00 GMT

Brentford were considered one of the favourites for relegation before the campaign began, but they have surprised a several people under their manager and are in good form with three wins in their past four matches.

A family member advised me to select Bees striker Thiago in my Fantasy Football team a few weeks ago and, unfortunately, I didn't listen.

The forward will likely score again on Saturday but I am still not going to select him or back Brentford at Brighton's ground.

They have not had much success on the road this season, and Brighton are always strong at home. The visitors will try to hit them on the break but I think the home manager's side carry much more of a danger.

The analyst's forecast: 2-1

Olly's view: It could be one of those games where you think there is going to be a many goals but it actually proves to be rather close. 1-1

The computer's prediction: 2-1

• Craven Cottage, 15:00 GMT

This is a huge fixture for the Cottagers, who have suffered defeat in five of their past six matches.

Fulham have have plenty of quality in their team but it nonetheless feels like they could be sucked into a relegation fight.

As for the Black Cats, well they are the surprise package of the Premier League season so far.

Their performance in the 2-2 draw with the Gunners last time out was superb. We've not witnessed any other team rough up the Gunners like that this season, and Sunderland were more than a match for them.

The sensible thing to do to back the Black Cats here, because they are clearly capable of disrupting Fulham up too and, the last time they were in west London, they beat Chelsea at the end of last month.

However 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 credit for their good results because they clearly enjoy to prove me wrong.

Looking at Fulham's at Craven Cottage record, the sole side they have lost to is the league leaders. Their manager's side will be extremely desperate for a positive result, so I am going to say they will pick up three points.

Sutton's prediction: 1-0

Olly's prediction: I'm aware Sunderland are performing strongly and also that Fulham are on a poor run... but they have nonetheless been respectable at Craven Cottage this campaign. 2-0

The algorithm's outlook: 2-0

• Anfield, 15:00 GMT

It is a hard one to predict. The Reds have lost seven of their last ten matches in every tournament, but could they be one of the teams who profit from the {international break|
