Arsenal’s 10-match winning streak ended against Sunderland before the international break, but Chris Sutton still expects the league leaders to edge Tottenham on Sunday.
“Arsenal haven’t been at their sparkling best, but they always find a way to win,” Sutton said while previewing week 12 of the Premier League.
Joining him this week is singer Olly Murs, a passionate Manchester United supporter whose new album Knees Up releases on Friday.
Murs reflected on his love for football, joking about a recent charity match:
“The team won after I was subbed off — make of that what you will!”
Although knee issues limit his playing time, he looks forward to coaching his children, just like his father once coached him.
