Lawro takes on Phil Tufnell this week
His opponent for this weekend's Premier League matches is former England cricketer and current Question of Sport, external team captain Phil Tufnell.
'Tuffers' is an Arsenal fan and will have been disappointed to see his team lose 2-1 at QPR after he predicted a win for the Gunners.

|---|---|---|---|
Aston Villa v Chelsea | 2-4 | 0-2 | 1-1 |
Blackburn v Man Utd | 0-2 | 0-2 | 1-3 |
Everton v West Brom | 2-0 | 2-0 | 2-0 |
Fulham v Norwich | 2-1 | 2-1 | 2-0 |
Man City v Sunderland | 3-3 | 2-0 | 3-0 |
Newcastle v Liverpool | 2-0 | 1-1 | 2-1 |
QPR v Arsenal | 2-1 | 0-3 | 1-2 |
Tottenham v Swansea | 3-1 | 2-0 | 2-0 |
Wigan v Stoke | 2-0 | 1-1 | 1-0 |
Wolves v Bolton | 2-3 | 2-0 | 1-2 |
A correct result is worth ONE point, while a correct score earns THREE points.
