LAWRO'S PREDICTIONS
FRIDAY
Leicester 2-4 Newcastle
SATURDAY
Leeds 3-1 Tottenham
Lawro's prediction: 0-2
Brandon's prediction: Leeds are flying at the moment while Tottenham seem to have taken a bit of a step back. 2-1.
Sheff Utd 0-2 Crystal Palace
Lawro's prediction: 0-1
Brandon's prediction: Sheffield United have been awful all season, I think the other managers figured them out this time. There was no chance I was ever going to be a Blade - it was always Wednesday for me. I started off going to Hillsborough with my uncle when I was a kid and I buzzed off it. I've always loved going to watch us no matter how the team is doing - it's class, isn't it, with everyone singing tunes and getting your chips and curry before the match. It's what football is about. 0-2.
Man City 1-2 Chelsea
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Brandon's prediction: I reckon this will be a cagey game and we know how strong Chelsea are at the back, but I am going with City to nick it. 1-0.
Liverpool 2-0 Southampton
SUNDAY
Wolves 2-1 Brighton
Aston Villa 1-3 Man Utd
West Ham 0-1 Everton
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Brandon's prediction: Everton have dropped off it, while David Moyes has turned West Ham into something else. 2-1.
Arsenal 3-1 West Brom
MONDAY
Fulham 0-2 Burnley
Lawro's prediction: 0-2
Brandon's prediction: 1-1
Lawro and Brandon were speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
How did Lawro do last time?
From the last round of Premier League fixtures, Lawro got four correct results from the nine matches that were played, including three exact scores, for a total of 130 points.
He beat Royal Blood drummer Ben Thatcher, who also got four correct results, but with one exact score, giving him a total of 70 points.
Any points Lawro and Ben earn from the postponed game between Manchester United and Liverpool will be added when that match is played on 13 May. Lawro went for a 1-1 draw, while Ben predicted a 2-1 United win.
