Its all getting rather dull since we beat the rags, nobody predicted us to beat the filthy twats, now they cant get their tongue out of our crack!

Lawro's opponent for this week's Premier League fixtures is world number one darts player Michael van Gerwen
The Dutchman is a PSV Eindhoven fan, whose hero as a boy was Ruud van Nistelrooy.
"Ruud was probably my favourite player, but I was a big fan of Mark van Bommel too," Van Gerwen told BBC Sport.
"PSV are doing all right at the moment - we took four points out of six against Manchester United in the Champions League group stage last season - but overall right now Dutch football is not very strong."

Lawro says

Francesco Guidolin has only been in charge of Swansea since the end of January, and he missed a couple of games last season because of illness, so it seems a little bit early to be talking about him being on his way out.

But that is the way the Premier League works these days, and there is already speculation over Guidolin's future.

Playing Manchester City twice in three days is unlikely to help, with City boss Pep Guardiola chasing his 10th victory from 10 games in charge. I think he will get it too.

Lawro's prediction: 0-2

Van Gerwen's prediction: 1-3



Merson says

Manchester City are on a different planet at the moment. At the start of the season you looked at Pep Guardiola, who managed Bayern Munich and Barcelona, and thought, 'those are two teams where you don't have to do too much, you make sure you don't forget the boots, sit down and pick the team'.

But he's come to Man City with virtually the same team as last season and they look unbelievable now. They are playing like Barcelona and it's phenomenal to watch.

They do have to be careful because I saw John Stones take a few chances against Swansea in the EFL Cup, but if they keep it simple they are just too good.

PAUL PREDICTS: 0-3 (Sky Bet odds 8/1)

Phew, a regulation 2-0 from Lawro. Must've got a bit giddy after going for the extra goal in last weeks prediction

Merson still comes out with a load of tripe, but his score line would be acceptable.

Inevitably, right now I'd settle for scraping through with a 1-0 victory.

I just want the three points above all else and anything on top of that would be icing on the cake.

Of course if we continued with our scintillating style of late and, in the process scored four or five goals, I'd be more than happy to be made to look like a complete buffoon.

I'm of a similar persuasion MC. Always take a 1-0, especially away from home as it means another three points in the bag. Goals and style are a very welcome bonus but the win is king

I watched it and I'm not surprised about Lawro. What else can he say about City?

The results speak for themselves with Pepe.

'those are two teams where you don't have to do too much, you make sure you don't forget the boots, sit down and pick the team'.

Have to wonder why those clubs pay such high salaries to their managers if that's all the job entails.

Let us not forget BFS would win the double every year. Even in a two horse race there is a loser
