Pick a winner

Mark Lawrenson has seen the future again

And it’s not great news for Newcastle

Match of the Day’s sourest pundit has managed to raise himself again from his weary, seen-it-all-before slouch to post his predictions for the weekend’s Premier League games on the BBC. Say what you like about the saracastic old moaner, he does some pretty fancy work when it comes to picking winners. This week he nailed seven of the ten games.

This week he’s going for Sunderland to win at Derby, United at Fulham, Chelsea at West Ham and Liverpool at Bolton; City to beat Wigan and Boro to beat Reading, then Arsenal/Villa; Birmingham/Tottenham, Newcastle/Blackburn and Everton/Pompey to end in draws.

I’m going Sunderland to win at Derby, United to win at Fulham, West Ham to beat Chelsea (what with Chelsea all stirred up and all), Liverpool to win at Bolton, City over Wigan, Boro/Reading draw, Arsenal over Villa, Birmingham over Tottenham, Blackburn over Newcastle, Everton over Pompey.

Fancy having a crack at Lawro? Knock yourself out below. (And don’t forget to use our fancy new Stats Centre to help you.)
