Lawroâs Premier League predictions v Leicester City fans Kasabian
Show/hide articleâŚ
BBC Sportâs football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.
Lawroâs opponents for this weekendâs Premier League fixtures are Tom Meighan and Serge Pizzorno from indie rock band Kasabian.
Meighan and Pizzorno are fans of Leicester City, their local team, and the band played at the Foxesâ title-winning parade last season.
âTop of my list of Leicester heroes has to be Steve Walsh [who played for the club between 1986-2000],â Meighan told BBC Sport.
âWalsh would be captain of any all-time Leicester team,â Pizzorno added. âMuzzy Izzet would be in there too of course, Emile Heskey as well - and obviously the entire first XI from last season. I can go through them all if you want, but we might be here a while.â
âThey are the untouchables,â Meighan explained.
Leicester struggled in their title defence and the manager who won the Premier League, Claudio Ranieri, was sacked in January. However, the Foxes made it to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, further than any other English club.
âItâs been surreal,â Meighan said. "Getting so far in the Champions League was just a dream come true - and we nearly went through to the semi-finals, too.
"At times it has been a bit of a return to reality and there have been some bad times, but I think in the past few months things have turned around again. It has been another amazing season.
âWhat next? Top four. We have got to build on what we have done this season and move forward.â
It took a late-season surge for Leicester to avoid relegation in their first season back in the top flight, 2014-15, and they are still not mathematically sure of staying up this time.
âIt is hard to even know what to say we should hope for at Leicester any more,â Pizzorno said.
âWe have won the league, then fought relegation and reached the Champions League quarter-finals - so I donât even know what we are capable of next.â
A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points.
You can make your Premier League predictions now and compare them with those of Lawro and other fans by playing the BBC Sport Predictor game.
All kick-offs 15:00 BST unless otherwise stated.
West Ham have only won one of their past 11 games and speculation over manager Slaven Bilicâs future does not look like it is going away.
Tottenham, meanwhile, just keep on winning - if they pick up three points at the London Stadium, it would be their 10th victory in a row.
Spurs donât concede many goals and the way they are winning is very impressive, as well as the results themselves. It is very difficult not to back them at the moment.
I still think the title is beyond Tottenham because I do not see Chelsea slipping up - but I donât see Mauricio Pochettinoâs side dropping points either.
I was a bit surprised to see Burnley win at Crystal Palace last weekend. The Clarets deserved to win too, but Palace were safe already - or as good as - so I donât think that defeat puts them back in trouble.
Mamadou Sakhoâs injury has weakened the Eagles at the back and, if Burnley can get through them, then Manchester City will too.
City have got three home games in a row now - against Palace, Leicester and West Brom - and as well as making the top four, I actually think they have got third place nailed on.
Sergio Agueroâs injury is a blow, especially if it rules him out for the rest of the season, but Gabriel Jesus is fit again, so goals will not be a problem.
Both teams are safe but I wouldnât say they have nothing to play for - they could finish as high as eighth, or as low as 16th.
Out of the two managers, Stoke boss Mark Hughes is under a little bit more pressure to finish the season strongly because he has managed a ninth-place finish with the Potters in each of the past three seasons.
But even if they donât make the top half of the table this time, I donât think his side are under-achieving when you consider how much they have spent.
The Potters are still short of a bit of firepower but, while Wilfried Bonyâs loan deal did not work out, I think Saido Berahino will come good.
Berahino is such a good finisher, but he needs to be playing regularly to find his best form.
Sergeâs prediction: Itâs horrible going second when you are making predictions. 2-1
With one win from their past five games, West Brom have hit the buffers a bit.
Burnleyâs victory at Crystal Palace was huge for them because they look like they are safe now.
The Claretsâ victory at Selhurst Park was their first league away win of the season and thoroughly deserved, but they wonât want to let their strong home form just peter out now.
I see this being a battle between two teams who always put in maximum effort, and I think they will both have something to show for it at the end.
Sunderland are down, and it would not surprise me if they play with a bit more freedom now the pressure is off them.
But Hull know their strong home form is crucial to them staying up and they know they cannot afford to drop any points at the KCOM Stadium.
Tomâs prediction: Sunderland are gone so nothing really matters to them - they might go out and win it, knowing them. 0-2
Neither Leicester manager Craig Shakespeare nor Watford boss Walter Mazzarri knows if they will be in charge next season.
Both of these sides are on the magic 40-point mark and, although they are not mathematically safe yet, it is fair to say that their managers are in more trouble than the teams are - especially Mazzarri.
Shakespeare was only given the Foxes job until the summer anyway, while nobody knows what Mazzarriâs remit was at Watford - just survival, a top-half finish or something else?
A Foxes win would not improve his chances of staying in the job.
Sergeâs prediction: I was going to say that. Iâll go 2-1 instead.
Swansea have put a good little run together and seem to have the bit between their teeth a little bit - their point at Old Trafford last week was an excellent result.
Chelseaâ 3-0 win at Goodison Park flattered them a little bit, but Everton still looked a bit flat to me.
I am not saying they are playing like they are ready for the beach, and their manager Ronald Koeman would not tolerate that either.
But the fact is the Toffees are the Premier League team with the least to play for in terms of league position, so there is nothing on the line for them in their last few fixtures - including their bonus for where they finish in the table.
Swansea, in contrast, are fighting for their lives.
Tomâs prediction: Swansea are in good form at the moment. 2-2
Liverpool got a good win at Watford last time out which means they have taken nine points from their past four games.
Yes, they will feel they should have beaten Crystal Palace at Anfield too, but that is still a decent haul and makes losing to the Eagles easier to swallow.
The Reds owe Saints after they lost to them in the semi-finals of the EFL Cup, and I think they will get some revenge.
I thought Arsenal had a bit of momentum until last weekendâs north London derby, when their defeat showed their problems have not really gone away.
The Gunners really were put into place by Tottenham, in more ways than one.
Arsenal will be up for this game, but it will not be easy because Manchester Unitedâs injury list looks a lot shorter right now. I donât think there will be much in it.
I just donât think it is a game Arsene Wenger can afford to lose because, if he does, the roof really will fall in.
Tomâs prediction: Arsenal are in a real state at the moment. Pure panic. United will go there and win, I know they will. 0-2
Sergeâs prediction: I was going to say that, but now I canât - and I donât think United will win 1-0 or 3-0⌠can I go with the same score? I can? Great. 0-2
The title is in sight now for Chelsea and they are playing the second-worst team in the league, so there is only going to be one outcome here.
The good thing about Antonio Conteâs side is that they just never stop. We saw last week how they struggled a bit against Everton, but found a way to overcome them.
I can see them putting so much pressure on Boro that the visitors just collapse.
Defeat would relegate Middlesbrough and they wonât go down without a fight - but I donât see them getting anything at Stamford Bridge.
Tomâs prediction: Chelsea will just roll Boro over. 4-1
From last weekendâs Premier League matches, Lawro got two correct results, with no perfect scores, from 10 matches, for a total of 20 points.
He lost out to Line of Duty star Adrian Dunbar, who got three correct results, including one perfect score, for a tally of 60 points.

Aaron Lennonâs stress-related illness prompts Premier League response
Show/hide articleâŚ
Recent news that Aaron Lennon is being treated for a stress-related illness has prompted key figures in football to have their say on the issue.
There has been a huge show of support for Lennon with many saying it is a bigger problem than some realise and that wealth and fame are not a cure.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino says the club are in contact with Lennonâs agent and his family and will do all they can to help.
âIt was someone who played here for nearly 10 years and of course Tottenham care about him. The players, the staff and everyone here cares about his situation.â
Players, managers and pundits have taken to Twitter to show their support including England and Leicester striker Jamie Vardy and some of Lennonâs former teammates including Ledley King and Jermain Defoe.
Leon Osman spent two seasons at Everton with Lennon and told Premier League Daily: "The problem is identifying the people who need help. Players tend to keep things to themselves.
âBut things are changing within football and itâs more accepted to come and get help if you need it and that has to be the way forward.â
Osmanâs view was echoed by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who believes that players are worried about the fallout of talking to their teammates or the manager.
Wenger said: âNot all the players, even if they feel the need, want to be helped by people at the club. Sometimes you donât want to show your feelings as it could be interpreted as a weakness. I believe that most of the players want help from outside the club.â
Bournemouth defender Adam Smith knows Lennon from his time at White Hart Lane and told Sky Sports that football is more than a job to many players.
He said: âWe live and breathe football, itâs not just our job itâs our life and if you are not playing well, or not even playing, itâs hard. When you are away from your family and friends sometimes it can be a lonely place.â
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic is preparing his team to face Tottenham this weekend and pointed to the influence of social media.
âOne day, you are king the next, you are zero. With social media, you even know what the fans in New Zealand think about you before that wasnât the case. The clubs are trying but everyone that is involved in football should do more,â he said.
Burnley boss Sean Dyche is concerned that some dismiss mental health issues in football because of the huge salaries players receive and Sunderlandâs Steven Pienaar agrees with Dycheâs assertion.
Pienaar said: âI donât think we do get enough support. People think footballers get paid a lot of money but they donât know we are under a lot of pressure every day. As a player you need people around you who will help you and encourage you and are open to listen.â
Former Chelsea and Manchester United midfielder Ray Wilkins suffered from depression when he quit football and has urged players to seek help.
He told Premier League Daily: âThe most important thing is getting it out there. Be brave enough to admit that these things do happen and you arenât in a good place to deal with that. 15 years ago it was a weakness. Itâs not a fact of being a weak person itâs just that something has got to grips with you and you canât quite cope with that situation.â
