Premier League predictions: Lawro v Radio 1 DJ Greg James
Last updated on .From the section Football
BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.
This week he took on Radio 1 DJ Greg James, who will host a new series of 'Not Just Cricket' on 5 live in November, following England on their Ashes tour with guests Jimmy Anderson and Graeme Swann.
Cricket is James' favourite sport but he says he has been an Arsenal fan "since my cousin forced me to like them when I was about five" and has high hopes for the Gunners this season.
