BBC pundit picks wins for Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City
With another weekend just around the corner, it’s time to take a look at Mark Lawrenson’s weekend predictions!
Chelsea 2-0 Everton
“Chelsea have never lost at home in the Premier League under Mourinho, going back to his first spell at Stamford Bridge, and I am backing them to win here to extend that impressive record.”
Arsenal 2-0 Sunderland
“I don’t think Sunderland are good enough to go to the Emirates Stadium and get anything.”
Cardiff City 1-1 Hull City
“I am not so sure about Cardiff, although they should get a draw on Saturday.”
Manchester City 3-0 Stoke City
“It is always interesting to see Stoke boss Mark Hughes going back to his former club, but I don’t think the Potters will be able to keep Manchester City out.”
West Brom 2-0 FulhamÂ
“West Brom look a bit short of firepower up front but I am still backing Pepe Mel to get his first win as Baggies boss.”
West Ham 1-1 Southampton
“Overall, though, they have had a very good season and in the league they are continuing quite merrily.”
Crystal Palace 0-2 Manchester UnitedÂ
“I am backing them to get three points at Selhurst Park, though. It should be a good game because Palace will have a real go at them but, as long as they match Palace’s work-rate, United should have too much quality.”
Liverpool 3-0 Swansea City
“The Swans lost on Merseyside last weekend when they were beaten by Everton in the FA Cup, and I cannot see a different outcome for them this time.”
Newcastle 1-1 Aston Villa
“I am going for a draw on Sunday and I think that will suit Aston Villa too. Their form has generally been better than last season, and now they just need to keep ticking over to stay clear of the relegation battle.”
Norwich City 0-2 TottenhamÂ
“All Sherwood can do is keep winning games, and I expect him to do that at Carrow Road.”
