Premier League predictions: Lawro v NBA star Luol Deng

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

Lawro's opponent for this weekend's Premier League fixtures is British NBA star Luol Deng.

The 30-year-old Miami Heat forward grew up in south London and is an Arsenal fan.

Deng says he cannot bear to tip Tottenham to beat Chelsea and is backing the Gunners to bounce back from last week's defeat at West Brom when they play Norwich on Sunday.

"You already know what I am going to say about that game," he told BBC Sport. "The Gunners will win, and we are on our way back to the top of the table."

Our scoring system has changed this season and a correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is now worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points.

Last week, Lawro got four correct results from 10 Premier League games, with no perfect scores.

His score of 40 points saw him draw with WWE wrestler Neville, who also picked four correct results and no perfect scores.

We are keeping a record of the totals 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).

Deng, who joined Miami Heat from Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014, is the only British player in the NBA
