Arsenal's ten-match winning run came to an end by the Black Cats before the international break, however can the English top division leaders bounce back against north London rivals Spurs this Sunday?

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

"The Spurs manager will attempt to nullify Arsenal, who have not always been at their scintillating best this season - but Mikel Arteta's side usually still manage to win."

The analyst is forecasting results for all 380 Premier League fixtures this term, versus artificial intelligence, fans and a variety of guests.

In week 12, he faces performer Olly Murs, who is a United fan.

Murs' latest record, the new release, is available on the weekend.

Soccer and Family Experiences

Olly is a talented footballer as well as a successful artist and has been a featured player of multiple Soccer Aid matches down the years - but he is not planning a serious return as a footballer.

"{I actually played in a benefit game the other evening for a mate of mine," he explained. "My side was trailing 3-1 when I was substituted in the 60th minute, and they went on to win 4-3, so you can read into that what you will!

"I still love football, but I hurt my joint a few years ago and it still isn't where I want it to be. I hope I could play more but the unpredictability of the sport means it's too risky for me in my profession to do it properly again.

"Plus 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 gearing up for the time that my child or son decides to play instead."

Murs and his spouse Amelia Tank have two children, their daughter and their son, and he is ready to follow in his father's footsteps by becoming their manager.

"I will not force 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 manager qualifications - and I will likely be coaching their weekend football side," he added.

"I watched my nephews play a lot, and I really got into it, and I clearly owned a soccer team for a period too.

"My father coached with us when I was a kid, which is likely where I get it from. He managed 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

Saturday, 22 November

• Turf Moor, 12:30 GMT

The Blues might have to be patient for their star's return from fitness issues but their attack 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 well organised and their sole home defeats so far have been against Liverpool and Arsenal.

This 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 Premier League win in a row.

The expert's prediction: 1-2

Olly's prediction: The Blues will be superior. 1-3

Artificial intelligence's outlook: 0-2

• Vitality Stadium, 15:00 GMT

Bournemouth have been defeated in their previous couple matches - although both of them were away - but they got thoroughly beaten by Aston Villa last time out which shocked me.

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

The Hammers' only on the road victory this season came at Nottingham Forest in the summer, when their boss Nuno was still that team's coach.

So, what on earth do I predict here - will it be West Ham extending their streak under Nuno, or Bournemouth responding?

I am going to choose Bournemouth, because I believe what happened against Villa was a blip.

The pundit's prediction: 2-0

Olly's prediction: Bournemouth are performing strongly but the visitors have picked up under their boss. 2-2

AI's pick: 1-1

• Amex Stadium, 15:00 GMT

Brentford were considered one of the favourites for relegation before the season began, but they have impressed a few observers under their manager and are in good form with three wins in their past four matches.

A family member told me to select Brentford forward Thiago in my Fantasy Football squad a few weeks ago and, unfortunately, I ignored the advice.

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

The Bees have not had much success on the travel this season, and Brighton are always decent at home. The visitors will attempt to hit them on the counter-attack but I feel Fabian Hurzeler's side carry much more of a danger.

The analyst's prediction: 2-1

Olly's prediction: This could be one of those games where you expect there is going to be a many scores but it in reality turns out to be rather close. 1-1

AI's prediction: 2-1

• Craven Cottage, 15:00 GMT

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

Fulham have have plenty of quality in their squad but it still feels like they could be dragged into a relegation fight.

As for Sunderland, indeed they are the surprise package of the Premier League season so far.

The away side's display in the two-all tie with the Gunners last time out was superb. We have not witnessed anyone else rough up the Gunners like that this season, and they were more than a match for them.

The sensible thing to do to support the visitors here, because they are clearly able of roughing Fulham up too and, the previous occasion they were in west London, they beat the Blues at the close of last month.

But I am not choose that. Rather, I really need to carry on going against Sunderland with my predictions. I am taking a lot of credit for their good results because they clearly love to prove me wrong.

Looking at the home side's at Craven Cottage form, the only team they have been defeated by is the league leaders. Marco Silva's side will be extremely desperate for a good result, so I am going to say they will secure three points.

Sutton's prediction: 1-0

The guest's prediction: I'm aware Sunderland are performing strongly and also that Fulham are on a bad run... but Fulham have nonetheless been respectable at home this campaign. 2-0

AI's outlook: 2-0

• Anfield, 15:00 GMT

This is a tough one to call. Liverpool have lost seven of their past 10 games in every tournament, but might they be one of the sides who benefit from the {international break|
