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 was former England rugby union captain Lawrence Dallaglio.
Chelsea fan Dallaglio will have been disappointed after tipping his team to beat Newcastle only to see the Blues suffer a 3-2 defeat in a thrilling encounter at St James' Park on Saturday.
Predictions | Score | Lawro | Dallaglio |
|---|---|---|---|
SATURDAY | |||
QPR v Norwich | 0-0 | 2-0 | 1-0 |
Arsenal v Stoke | 1-0 | 3-0 | 2-1 |
Everton v Aston Villa | 3-3 | 2-1 | 3-0 |
Newcastle v Chelsea | 3-2 | 1-1 | 1-3 |
Reading v Sunderland | 2-1 | 1-1 | 2-2 |
West Ham v Swansea | 1-0 | 2-0 | 2-0 |
Wigan v Southampton | 2-2 | 2-1 | 2-1 |
Fulham v Man Utd | 0-1 | 1-2 | 1-2 |
SUNDAY | |||
West Brom v Tottenham | 0-1 | 1-1 | 1-1 |
Man City v Liverpool | 2-2 | 1-1 | 3-1 |
A correct result is worth ONE point, while a correct score earns THREE points.
For the midweek round of Premier League fixtures, Lawro took on Total Nonstop Action wrestling star Magnus.
Lawro got four results right, with no perfect scores, and his score of four was narrowly beaten by Magnus (five results, with no perfect scores).
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 had come off (also at the bottom of the page).
