A correct result is worth ONE point, while a correct score earns THREE points.
Last weekend, Lawro got three results right from seven Premier League games, including two perfect scores. His score of seven saw him beat BBC golf commentator Peter Alliss [4], who got two correct results, including one perfect score.
Lawro also got the correct scoreline for both FA Cup semi-finals, while Alliss only guessed that Wigan would beat Millwall.
For the four midweek league games, Lawro backed Arsenal to beat Everton 2-1, Manchester City to beat Wigan 3-0, Manchester United to see off West Ham 2-1 and Fulham to draw 1-1 with Chelsea. From those games, he got one correct result, with no perfect scores.
