BBC Sport football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest pundit each week this season.
His opponent for the latest round of Premier League matches is rugby union star David Strettle,, external who helped England beat Scotland in their Six Nations opener on Saturday.
Strettle was a talented footballer in his youth, and had trials with Manchester City, Liverpool, Everton and Crewe. He is tipping wins for City and Everton, against Fulham and Wigan respectively, but thinks the Reds will get turned over at home by Tottenham.
You can see all of his predictions on Football Focus on BBC One (and this website) at 1215 GMT on Saturday.
Predictions | Score | Lawro | David Strettle |
|---|---|---|---|
Arsenal v Blackburn | 7-1 | 2-0 | 1-1 |
Chelsea v Man Utd | 3-3 | 1-1 | 0-2 |
Liverpool v Tottenham | 0-0 | 1-1 | 0-3 |
Man City v Fulham | 3-0 | 3-0 | 3-1 |
Newcastle v Aston Villa | 2-1 | 2-0 | 2-0 |
Norwich v Bolton | 2-0 | 1-1 | 0-1 |
QPR v Wolves | 1-2 | 2-0 | 0-1 |
Stoke v Sunderland | 0-1 | 2-1 | 2-1 |
West Brom v Swansea | 1-2 | 2-1 | 0-2 |
Wigan v Everton | 1-1 | 1-1 | 0-2 |
A correct result is worth ONE point, while a correct score earns THREE points.
In the last round of Premier League fixtures, Lawro got three results right, with no perfect scores, meaning he lost out to pro wrestler Kurt Angle [4].
