Mark Lawrenson's Premier League predictions
Last updated on .From the section Football

BBC Sport football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.
His opponent for the Premier League matches on Easter weekend is four-time Olympic gold medalist rower Sir Matthew Pinsent.
Like Lawro, Pinsent correctly predicted leaders Manchester United would beat QPR on Sunday, and that second-placed Manchester City would lose out at Arsenal. All of which mean Sir Alex Ferguson's side have opened an eight-point gap at the top of the table.
Predictions | Score | Lawro | Matthew Pinsent |
---|---|---|---|
Arsenal v Man City | 1-0 | 2-1 | 3-2 |
Bolton v Fulham | 0-3 | 2-0 | 2-0 |
Chelsea v Wigan | 2-1 | 2-0 | 3-0 |
Liverpool v Aston Villa | 1-1 | 2-0 | 1-1 |
Man Utd v QPR | 2-0 | 3-0 | 3-0 |
Norwich v Everton | 2-2 | 1-1 | 1-2 |
Stoke v Wolves | 2-1 | 2-0 | 2-0 |
Sunderland v Tottenham | 0-0 | 0-2 | 2-2 |
Swansea v Newcastle | 0-2 | 1-1 | 1-2 |
West Brom v Blackburn | 3-0 | 2-1 | 0-1 |
A correct result is worth ONE point, while a correct score earns THREE points.
For last weekend's matches, Lawro got five results right, including three perfect scores, and his total of 11 points was enough to see off former England cricketer Phil Tufnell [9].
