Mark Lawrenson's 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 latest round of Premier League games is England Ashes hero Steve Harmison.
The 34-year-old Durham bowler played in three Ashes series and will be remembered by many for his slow-ball yorker that flummoxed key Australia batsman Michael Clarke on day three of the second Test in 2005 which England went on to win.
Harmison is a huge Newcastle United fan, and as a result of his Ashes heroics of eight years ago was given a 'ticket for life' at St James' Park.
You can see all of "Harmy's" predictions on Football Focus at 12:15 BST on BBC One and this website in the UK.
