Lawro’s Saturday Predictions

Man City to win vs Man United

Brentford to win vs Norwich

Chelsea to win vs Burnley

Crystal Palace to win vs Wolves

Brighton to win vs Newcastle

ODDS – 13/1 with 888Sport.

 

Man City to win vs Man United

United’s win over Tottenham last weekend was a good result but if you actually watched the game, Spurs were absolutely hopeless. Tuesday’s 2-2 draw with Atalanta was a better gauge of where Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are at as a team.

It was United’s ‘big three’, as I call them, of Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani and Bruno Fernandes, who did for Tottenham and scored in the Champions League too, but they shipped some bad goals in Italy and I can’t see them keeping City quiet.

Lawro’s prediction: 1-2

 

Brentford to win vs Norwich

I watched Norwich’s defeat by Leeds last weekend, and the Canaries were not actually that bad. They got forward and created chances – but of course they got nothing out of the game, yet again.

After 10 games of the season, Daniel Farke’s side just have that pallor of relegation about them.

They are already eight points adrift of safety, with the worst goal difference of any team by a long way, and it is hard to see them getting the wins they will need to close that gap when they are yet to register a single league victory this season.

Brentford have hit a sticky patch, losing their past three games, but they have not stopped creating chances and I think they will get back to winning ways this weekend.

Lawro’s prediction: 2-0

 

Chelsea to win vs Burnley

Burnley got a very good win against Brentford last week. Going to Stamford Bridge is a very different proposition, however.

Chelsea took a while to get going against Newcastle but ended up trampling all over them. This game could go a similar way, with the Blues having to wait for a breakthrough.

Lawro’s prediction: 2-0

 

Crystal Palace to win vs Wolves

Both of these sides have found a bit of form recently, and they have followed a similar trajectory in the way they are improving, game by game, after a slow start.

It is Palace I am going with here, because they have got home advantage, but Raul Jimenez is scoring goals again for Wolves and they will carry a threat.

Lawro’s prediction: 2-1

 

Brighton to win vs Newcastle

Newcastle’s new owners found out the hard way that they should not do their negotiations in public when their interest in Villarreal boss Unai Emery was leaked this week, – and he chose to stay put.

It looks like Eddie Howe is the Magpies main managerial target now and he would fit the bill because he is used to fighting a relegation battle, which is what they are in.

The sooner the new manager is in place, the better, because this is a big month for Newcastle. After the international break, three of their next four games are at home against Brentford, Norwich and Burnley.

They will need to pick up some points from those fixtures because then they play Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United in quick succession around Christmas and there is a danger the January transfer window could open with them well adrift of safety.

For now, Graeme Jones is still in charge, and I don’t see him getting anything out of this long trip down to the south coast.

People are probably used to me being wrong with my predictions, but before Brighton went to Liverpool last week I did an interview where I said that, if the Seagulls go to Anfield and try and take them on it will be asking for a hiding.

They went there and played three up front, drew 2-2 and should have won. I have been laughing about that one, but it was just more evidence of what a good job Brighton manager Graham Potter is doing.

Lawro’s prediction: 2-0
