Lawro is back in his cautious box this week predictions for this weeks round of games being
5 x 1-1
3 x 2-1
2 x 2-0
Lawro's opponent for this weekend's Premier League fixtures is the Wealdstone Raider.
The Raider, aka Stones fan Gordon Hill, became famous for his catchphrases "You've got no fans" and "You want some?" in a YouTube clip that has had more than 9.5 million views since March 2013.
He will be making his Premier League predictions on Friday, before Wealdstone play Colchester in the FA Cup on Saturday.

Aston Villa's defeat by Tottenham on Monday showed there is nothing wrong with their effort or application, but they are just not good enough.
Villa seem to lose their way far too easily in games and struggle to score goals, so keeping them up will be a massive job for new manager Remi Garde.
His appointment is a massive gamble, and this is a very difficult game to start with, especially with Manchester City's ability to exploit any space with their width and pace.
City were very impressive against Sevilla in the Champions League in midweek. They had a plan and had a real go, and anything like the same sort of performance will be too much for Villa.
Lawro's prediction: 0-2
Merson says

To start with this is already a tough game for Villa, add that to the fact they're struggling and I can't see anything but a City win. Villa might probably keep it tight for a while but they are lacking the spark and City head into the game on the back of an unbelievable result against Sevilla. Remi Garde has a lot of work to do and there are a lot of hard games in front of Villa. They could soon be cut adrift, that's the worrying thing.
PAUL PREDICTS: 0-2
