Premier League and Capital One Cup predictions: Lawro vs Tim Key

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

His opponent for the next round of Premier League fixtures, and Sunday's Capital One Cup final, is actor, writer and comedian Tim Key, who starred with Steve Coogan as his DJ sidekick in 'Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa'.

As a boy, Key was a Liverpool fan and says his own playing style resembles one of his former heroes.

"I am not very mobile. Like a deeper-lying Jan Molby, but probably like Jan Molby sort of now, so almost static," Key told BBC Sport.

"So if the ball comes directly to me, not too quickly, I am able to control it and pass it very slowly to my left or right.

"When I was younger I captained my school football team to a cup final but I think that was a bit of a fluke because I was not very good before or after that, or probably during.

"And, in the final, I got taken off at half-time even though I was the captain. That was disappointing."

You can see all of Tim's predictions on Football Focus at 12:00 GMT on Saturday on BBC One and the BBC Sport website (in the UK).

Key is on tour now with his new show, which is a mixture of poetry and stand-up.

A correct result is worth ONE point. A correct score earns THREE points.

Last weekend, Lawro got five correct results, including one perfect score. His score of seven gave him a narrow victory over singer Katy B, who got six correct results, but no perfect scores.

We're 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 of Lawro's predictions were correct (at the bottom of the page).
