The Gunners' ten-match victorious run came to an end by Sunderland prior to the global hiatus, however will the Premier League leaders recover against north London rivals Tottenham this weekend?

"{I believe like Arsenal are light years ahead of Tottenham at the moment but Spurs boss 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 finest this campaign - but Mikel Arteta's team typically still manage to win."

Sutton is forecasting results for all 380 Premier League fixtures this season, versus AI, fans and a range of special visitors.

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

Murs' new album, the new release, is out on the weekend.

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

"{I recently played in a charity match the other evening for a mate of mine," he said. "My side 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 continue to 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 unpredictability of the game means it's too dangerous 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 happy not playing football and I am gearing up for the moment that my daughter or boy chooses to play instead."

The singer and his wife his partner have a young family, their daughter and their son, and he is ready to emulate his dad by becoming their coach.

"I won't force football on our children but I've previously told my wife 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 Saturday football team," he said.

"I watched my nephews play a lot, and I really got into it, and I clearly was involved with a football club for a while too.

"My father coached with us when I was a child, which is likely where I get it from. He coached our side for several seasons and had a wonderful time with it. That could be the future for me as well, and I am looking forward to it!"

Premier League Forecasts

Weekend, 22 November

• Turf Moor, 12:30 GMT

Chelsea may have to wait a bit longer for Cole Palmer's return from fitness issues but their offense is already more potent with Joao Pedro and Liam Delap both back fit.

I still think this game will be fairly close, however. Burnley are disciplined and their only home losses so far have been against the Reds and the Gunners.

It smells of a one-all 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.

Sutton's forecast: 1-2

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

Artificial intelligence's outlook: 0-2

• Vitality Stadium, 15:00 GMT

Bournemouth have lost their past two matches - although both of them were on the road - but they got absolutely spanked by Villa last time out which surprised me.

In contrast, the Hammers secured back-to-back victories before the hiatus and, although both of those games were at home, they appear competitive again.

The Hammers' sole away win this campaign came at Nottingham Forest in the summer, when West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo was previously Forest manager.

Therefore, what on earth do I go with here - will it be West Ham continuing their streak under their manager, or Bournemouth responding?

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

Sutton's forecast: 2-0

Olly's prediction: Bournemouth are performing strongly but West Ham have improved under their boss. 2-2

AI's prediction: 1-1

• Amex Stadium, 15:00 GMT

The Bees were considered one of the frontrunners for the drop before the season began, but they have surprised a several observers under Keith Andrews and are in good form with three wins in their last four matches.

A family member told me to select Bees striker Thiago in my Fantasy Football team a few weeks ago and, guess what, I ignored the advice.

The forward will likely score again on the weekend but I am nonetheless not going to pick him or back Brentford at Amex Stadium.

They have not had much success on the travel this term, and Brighton are always decent at home. Brentford will try to hit them on the counter-attack but I feel Fabian Hurzeler's side carry much more of a threat.

The analyst's forecast: 2-1

The singer's prediction: This could be a match where you think there is going to be a many goals but it actually proves to be quite close. 1-1

AI's prediction: 2-1

• Craven Cottage, 15:00 GMT

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

They have got plenty of talent in their team but it nonetheless feels like they could be sucked into a relegation battle.

Regarding the Black Cats, indeed they are the surprise package of the top flight season so far.

The away side's performance in the 2-2 tie with Arsenal last time out was superb. We've not seen anyone else disrupt the North London side like that this term, and they were more than a match for them.

The sensible thing to do to support the Black Cats here, because they are obviously able of disrupting the hosts up too and, the previous occasion they were in this part of London, they beat the Blues at the end of October.

However I am not choose that. Rather, I really need to carry on opposing the away team with my forecasts. I am taking a lot of responsibility for their good results because they clearly love to prove me wrong.

Considering Fulham's home record, the only team they have been defeated by is Arsenal. Marco Silva's team will be extremely eager for a positive result, so I am going to say they will secure three points.

Sutton's prediction: 1-0

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

AI's prediction: 2-0

• Anfield, 15:00 GMT

It is a hard fixture to call. Liverpool have suffered seven of their last ten matches in all competitions, but could they be one of the sides who benefit from the {international break|
