Mark Lawrenson's Premier League predictions
- Published
BBC Sport football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.
Lawro takes on Steve Cram this week
His opponent for this weekend's matches was BBC athletics commentator and former 1500m world champion Steve Cram.
Sunderland supporter Cram was spot on with his prediction of a 1-1 draw between Bolton Wanderers and Swansea City on Saturday while Lawro was right with his prediction of a 2-0 win for Blackburn Rovers against Norwich City and for Wolves to lose 2-0 at home to Manchester City.
Predictions | Score | Lawro | Steve Cram |
|---|---|---|---|
Arsenal v Chelsea | 0-0 | 1-1 | 2-1 |
Aston Villa v Sunderland | 0-0 | 2-1 | 0-1 |
Blackburn v Norwich | 2-0 | 2-0 | 1-2 |
Bolton v Swansea | 1-1 | 2-1 | 1-1 |
Fulham v Wigan | 2-1 | 1-1 | 2-2 |
Liverpool v West Brom | 0-1 | 2-0 | 2-0 |
Man Utd v Everton | 4-4 | 2-0 | 3-0 |
Newcastle v Stoke | 3-0 | 2-0 | 2-0 |
QPR v Tottenham | 1-0 | 1-1 | 3-2 |
Wolves v Man City | 0-2 | 0-2 | 0-3 |
A correct result is worth ONE point, while a correct score earns THREE points.
Last weekend, Lawro took on Top Gear presenter James May and looked at games in the FA Cup, Premier League and Championship.
Lawro got three results right, with no perfect scores, and his score of three meant he finished in a dead heat with May [3].
