Lawro's Premier League predictions v Final Score actor Dave Bautista
- Published
BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson will be making a prediction for all 380 Premier League games this season against a variety of different guests.
Lawro's opponent for this week's Premier League fixtures is former WWE star and Hollywood actor Dave Bautista.
Along with Pierce Brosnan, Bautista is the star of Final Score, an action movie being filmed at Upton Park, but the American admits he does not know much about West Ham, who left the stadium after 112 years at the end of last season.
He told BBC Sport: "The first day we started filming, we did a scene where we were walking through the crowd and they were singing about bubbles.
"I could not understand how that related to football so I had to ask, and I think it has made it into one of the edits."
Dave Bautista will be at the London Stadium on Saturday to watch West Ham play Watford as a guest of Hammers' joint chairman David Gold

LAWRO'S PREDICTIONS
All kick-offs 15:00 BST unless otherwise stated.
SATURDAY
Man Utd 1-2 Man City
Lawro's prediction: 1-0
Dave's prediction: I have personal reasons for going with United here - I have a lot of friends who support them, and also because Noel Gallagher gave me major harassment when I did Soccer AM with him - and he is a huge City fan. So I am picking against his team, and I think they are going to get crushed. 5-0
Arsenal 2-1 Southampton
Bournemouth 1-0 West Brom
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Dave's prediction: This is a hard one for me because I am not familiar with either of these teams. I have actually never heard of them. 1-1
Burnley 1-1 Hull
Middlesbrough 1-2 Crystal Palace
Stoke 0-4 Tottenham
West Ham 2-4 Watford
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Dave's prediction: I am going to this one - it is my first football game and I can't wait. Watford, you are getting spanked. 4-1
Liverpool 4-1 Leicester
Lawro's prediction: 2-1
Dave's prediction: I've been to Liverpool and they are a bunch of tough blokes from that city. I'm going with them to win this one. 2-1

MONDAY
Sunderland 0-3 Everton
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Dave's prediction: 3-1
