Mark Lawrenson's Premier League predictions
- From the section Football
BBC Sport football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.
His latest opponent was England's Rugby World Cup-winning coach Sir Clive Woodward, now the head of sport at the British Olympic Association.
Woodward, who had a much less successful stint when he turned to football during a brief spell as Southampton's performance director in 2005, correctly backed Manchester City to beat their neighbours Manchester United, and replace them at the top of the Premier League table.

|---|---|---|---|
| SATURDAY | |||
| Everton v Fulham | 4-0 | 2-0 | 2-1 |
| Norwich v Liverpool | 0-3 | 1-1 | 2-1 |
| Stoke v Arsenal | 1-1 | 1-1 | 0-2 |
| Sunderland v Bolton | 2-2 | 2-1 | 1-2 |
| Swansea v Wolves | 4-4 | 2-0 | 3-0 |
| West Brom v Aston Villa | 0-0 | 2-0 | 1-0 |
| Wigan v Newcastle | 4-0 | 1-2 | 1-1 |
| SUNDAY | |||
| Chelsea v QPR | 6-1 | 1-1 | 2-1 |
| Tottenham v Blackburn | 2-0 | 2-0 | 3-1 |
| MONDAY | |||
| Man City v Man Utd | 1-0 | 1-1 | 2-0 |
A correct result is worth ONE point, while a correct score earns THREE points.
Last weekend, Lawro took on BBC athletics commentator and Sunderland fan Steve Cram.
Lawro got four results right, including two perfect scores, and his score of eight meant he topped the podium and beat Cram [6] into silver.
