Lawro’s Man City v West Ham Prediction
“West Ham are flying along in fourth place and got a great win over Tottenham last weekend – they are doing so well anyway but to beat their rivals like that must have been pretty sweet.
I really like the way David Moyes has made them so solid at the back, with a well-drilled back-four and Declan Rice sitting in front of them, but this is a big test for that defence – they are going to Etihad Stadium, and obviously Manchester City are sweeping all before them and on a run on 19 straight wins.
The Hammers took a point from them at London Stadium back in October, but City look a completely different beast now.”
Lawro’s prediction: 2-0.
Lawro’s West Brom vs Brighton Prediction
“You could argue that last week’s results were a travesty for both of these teams.
West Brom’s 10 men could easily have won by two or three goals at Burnley, but drew 0-0. Brighton deserved a victory by a similar margin against Crystal Palace, but lost in stoppage time.
West Brom obviously need the points the most. They have improved, but it is an awfully long time since they won at home – 28 November against Sheffield United to be precise.
So, I am going for a draw here. That would be a better result for Brighton than the Baggies, but they are not out of the woods yet because they have not picked up as many points as they have deserved in recent weeks, not just against Palace.”
Lawro’s prediction: 1-1
Lawro’s Leeds vs Aston Villa Prediction
“Leeds were really strong against Southampton in midweek, and won without Kalvin Phillips in their team.
The only other time that has happened this season came when they beat Aston Villa in the reverse of this fixture in October. Phillips is still injured and I am going for the same outcome again this time.
I’ve talked before about how Phillips knits Leeds together and they are not the same without him – well, we found out what Villa are like without Jack Grealish when they lost to Leicester at the weekend. They looked ordinary against the Foxes.”
Lawro’s prediction: 2-0
Lawro’s Newcastle vs Wolves Prediction
“Newcastle are sinking like a stone. They have the pallid look of relegation about them, and it’s hard to know where their next win is coming from.
In contrast, Wolves are looking like the team they were last season, and have won their past two games. I think they will make it three in a row at St James’ Park.”
Lawro’s prediction: 0-2
