Arsenal's 10-game winning streak was ended by Sunderland before the global break, however can the Premier League leaders recover against north London rivals Spurs this weekend?

"{I believe like Arsenal are light years ahead of Tottenham at the moment but Spurs boss Thomas Frank will have a strategy for this game," stated football expert Chris Sutton.

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

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

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

The singer's new record, the new release, is out on Friday.

Olly is a talented footballer as well as a accomplished artist and has been a featured player of several Soccer Aid games down the years - but he is not intending a professional return as a player.

"{I recently played in a charity match the other evening for a mate of mine," he said. "My team was trailing 3-1 when I came off in the second half, and they went on to win 4-3, so you can read into that what you will!

"I continue to 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 unpredictability of the game means it's too risky for me in my career to do it properly again.

"Additionally I am forty-one 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 moment that my daughter or son chooses to play instead."

Murs and his spouse his partner have a young family, their daughter and Albert, and he is ready to emulate his dad by becoming their coach.

"I won't force football on our kids but I've previously told my wife 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 managing their Saturday soccer side," he added.

"I watched my relatives play a lot, and I truly got into it, and I clearly was involved with a soccer team for a period too.

"My dad coached with us when I was a child, which is probably where I inherited it. He coached our side for several seasons and had a wonderful time 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 may have to be patient for their star's comeback from fitness issues but their offense is now more potent with Pedro and Liam Delap both returned to fitness.

In my opinion this game will be quite tight, however. Burnley are well organised and their sole at Turf Moor losses so far have been against Liverpool and Arsenal.

It suggests a one-all tie to me, but I am actually going to choose the London side to edge it for what would be their third league win in a row.

The expert's prediction: 1-2

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

Artificial intelligence's prediction: 0-2

• Vitality Stadium, 15:00 GMT

The Cherries have lost their past two games - although both of them were away - but they got thoroughly beaten by Villa last time out which surprised me.

On the other hand, the Hammers secured two in a row before the hiatus and, although both of those games were at home, they appear competitive again.

West Ham's sole away win this campaign came at Forest in the summer, when their manager Nuno was previously that team's coach.

Therefore, what on earth do I predict here - can West Ham continuing their run under Nuno, or the home side bouncing back?

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

The pundit's forecast: 2-0

Olly's outlook: Bournemouth are doing well but West Ham have picked up under their boss. 2-2

AI'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 observers under their manager and are in fine fettle with three in their past four games.

A family member advised me to get Bees striker Thiago in my fantasy soccer squad a few weeks back and, unfortunately, I didn't listen.

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

The Bees have not had great success on the travel this season, and the Seagulls are always decent at their stadium. Brentford will try to hit them on the counter-attack but I feel the home manager's team 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 in reality proves to be rather close. 1-1

AI's outcome: 2-1

• Craven Cottage, 15:00 GMT

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

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

Regarding the Black Cats, indeed they are the surprise package of the Premier League campaign so far.

Their performance in the two-all tie with the Gunners last time out was superb. We've not seen any other team rough up the Gunners like that this term, and they were more than a match for them.

The logical choice to do to support the visitors here, because they are obviously able of roughing the hosts up too and, the last time they were in west London, they beat Chelsea at the end of last month.

But I am not going to choose that. Rather, I truly need to carry on opposing the away team with my forecasts. I am taking a lot of credit for their positive results because they clearly enjoy to prove me wrong.

Considering Fulham's at Craven Cottage form, the only team they have been defeated by is the league leaders. Their manager's side will be extremely desperate for a positive result, so I am going to predict they will secure three points.

Sutton's prediction: 1-0

Olly's prediction: I'm aware Sunderland are performing strongly and additionally that Fulham are on a poor streak... but Fulham have still been respectable at home this season. 2-0

AI's prediction: 2-0

• Anfield, 15:00 GMT

This is a tough fixture to call. The Reds have suffered seven of their last ten matches in all competitions, but might they be among the teams who profit from the {international break|
