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.
His opponent for the latest round of Premier League fixtures is British number one tennis player Andy Murray.
Murray is a fan of SPL side Hibernian but follows the English Premier League closely when he is travelling the world on the ATP Tour.

A correct result is worth ONE point, while a correct score earns THREE points.
Last weekend, Lawro took on X-Factor finalist James Arthur.
Lawro got five results right, including one perfect score, and his score of seven saw him draw with Arthur (also five correct results, with one perfect score).
This season, we will also be keeping a record of the total scores for Lawro and his guests (below), and showing a table of how the Premier League would look if all Lawro's predictions came off (also at the bottom of the page).
