BBC Sport expert Mark Lawrenson

BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.

Lawro's opponent for the latest round of Premier League fixtures is comedian and QPR fan Seann Walsh.

Comedian Seann Walsh makes his Premier League predictions

Walsh is a season-ticket holder at Loftus Road, but missed the drama of Bobby Zamora's 90th-minute winner that saw QPR beat Derby in the play-off final last May to clinch promotion to the Premier League because he had left Wembley early.

"I had to go at half-time to do a show in Shrewsbury," Walsh told BBC Sport. "When I left I was literally crying. I was walking in the wrong direction down Wembley Way.

"I was on a train when I heard we had been promoted. I had bumped into Jimmy Carr and I was sat behind a Derby fan.

"I found out Bobby Zamora had scored and that we were up and I celebrated. Then I was asked to keep it down because we were on the quiet coach. That was my Zamora moment."
