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 Radio 1 Breakfast Show host Nick Grimshaw.
'Grimmy' was brought up in a family of Manchester United fans and was regularly taken to Old Trafford as a boy, but says he does not support them. In fact he claims not to support anyone, but this does not stop him from predicting an 18-0 United victory over Chelsea on Sunday.
You can see all of his predictions on Football Focus at 12:15 BST on BBC One and this website in the UK.
