Lawro's predictionpublished at 19:09 Greenwich Mean Time 5 November 2021
Southampton v Aston Villa (20:00 GMT)
Aston Villa are in a bit of a mess right now. They have lost four league games in a row and several players are still injured or unavailable.
Southampton look in much better shape at the moment - after waiting a long time for their first win, they have taken seven points from their past three matches.
This is the life of a Premier League manager - a month ago it was Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl who was feeling the heat, now it is Villa's Dean Smith who is under pressure.
You have to hope that Villa are sensible about their situation, whatever happens on Friday. Yes, they spent a lot of money over the summer, but new players take time to settle.
Prediction: 2-0
