Arsenal's ten-match winning run was ended by the Black Cats prior to the international hiatus, however will the Premier League leaders recover against local foes Tottenham this Sunday?

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

"Frank will attempt to nullify Arsenal, who have not always been at their sparkling finest this campaign - but Mikel Arteta's team typically still manage to win."

The analyst is making predictions for all 380 Premier League fixtures this term, against artificial intelligence, readers and a range of guests.

For week 12, he faces performer Olly Murs, who is a Manchester United supporter.

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

Soccer and Parenting Experiences

Murs is a skilled footballer as well as a successful artist and has been a featured player of several Soccer Aid games down the years - but he is not planning a professional comeback as a player.

"{I actually played in a charity match the other night for a friend of mine," he said. "My team was losing 3-1 when I was substituted in the 60th minute, and they proceeded to win 4-3, so you can read into that what you will!

"I continue to love football, but I hurt 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 risky for me in my profession to do it seriously again.

"Additionally I am 41 now, and we are not all Cristiano Ronaldo, are we!? No, I am very happy not playing football and I am gearing up for the time that my child or son decides to play instead."

Murs and his spouse his partner have two children, Madison and their son, and he is prepared to emulate his dad by becoming their manager.

"I will not 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 manager qualifications - and I will probably be managing their weekend football side," he added.

"I watched my nephews play a lot, and I really got into it, and I clearly was involved with a football club 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 team for two or three years and had great fun with it. That might be the future for me as well, and I am looking forward to it!"

Premier League Predictions

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 stronger with Pedro and Delap both returned to fitness.

I still think this fixture will be fairly tight, though. Burnley are disciplined and their sole at Turf Moor losses so far have been against the Reds and Arsenal.

This smells of a 1-1 tie to me, but I am actually going to choose the London side to edge it for what would be their third Premier League win in a row.

Sutton's forecast: 1-2

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

AI's prediction: 0-2

• Vitality Stadium, 15:00 GMT

Bournemouth have been defeated in their past two games - although both of them were away - but they got thoroughly beaten by Villa last time out which shocked me.

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

The Hammers' sole away victory this season came at Nottingham Forest in August, when West Ham boss Nuno was still that team's coach.

Therefore, what on earth do I go with here - can the Hammers continuing their run under their manager, or the home side bouncing back?

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

Sutton's forecast: 2-0

Olly's outlook: The home team are performing strongly but West Ham have improved under Nuno. 2-2

The algorithm's pick: 1-1

• Amex Stadium, 15:00 GMT

The Bees were seen as one of the frontrunners for relegation before the campaign began, but they have impressed a few observers under their manager and are in fine fettle with three wins in their last four games.

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

The forward will likely find the net again on the weekend but I am still not going to pick him or back the away side at Brighton's ground.

They have not had great fortune on the travel this season, and the Seagulls are consistently decent at home. Brentford will try to attack on the break but I think Fabian Hurzeler's team carry much more of a danger.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

Olly's prediction: This 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 rather tight. 1-1

The computer's prediction: 2-1

• Craven Cottage, 15:00 GMT

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

They have have lots of quality in their squad but it still seems like they could be dragged into a relegation fight.

Regarding the Black Cats, indeed they are the unexpected success of the top flight season so far.

The away side's display in the 2-2 tie with the Gunners last time out was excellent. We've not witnessed any other team disrupt the Gunners like that this season, and they were fully competitive for them.

The sensible thing would be to support the visitors here, because they are clearly capable of roughing the hosts up too and, the previous occasion they were in this part of London, they beat Chelsea at the close of last month.

But I am not going to do that. Rather, I truly need to continue opposing the away team with my predictions. I am claiming a lot of credit for their positive outcomes because they clearly love to defy my predictions.

Considering the home side's home record, the sole team they have lost to is Arsenal. Marco Silva's team will be extremely eager for a good result, so I am going to predict they will pick up three points.

Sutton's forecast: 1-0

The guest's choice: I know Sunderland are doing well and additionally that the hosts are on a poor run... 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 hard one to predict. Liverpool have lost seven of their last ten games in all competitions, but might they be one of the teams who profit from the {international break|
