Premier League predictions: Lawro v former world champion triathlete Non Stanford
- Published
Only three teams remain unbeaten so far in the Premier League this season, but will that change this weekend?
BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson thinks it will.

Lawro picked up 40 points in week four, his lowest score so far this season. That saw him slip down the table by 4,061 places to 6,198th place out of a total of more than 190,000.
Lawro needs a big week or two to reignite his title push but time is on his side - he will be making a prediction for all 380 top-flight games this season, against a variety of guests.
Lawro's opponent for this weekend's fixtures is former world champion triathlete Non Stanford.
Stanford supports her hometown team Swansea City - after a brief flirtation with Arsenal because of Thierry Henry - and is backing them to beat Tottenham on Saturday, or at least she hopes they do.
