Premier League predictions: Lawro v actor Thomas Turgoose
BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.
Lawro's opponent for this weekend's Premier League fixtures is This Is England actor Thomas Turgoose.
Turgoose is a Grimsby Town supporter and has interviewed Mariners' boss Paul Hurst ahead of their Conference National play-off final against Bristol Rovers on Sunday.
Turgoose hopes Hurst can mastermind a Wembley win for Grimsby this weekend
You can see his interview with Hurst on Football Focus at 12:10 BST on Saturday on BBC One and the BBC Sport website (in the UK).

Lawro thinks Arsenal will beat Sunderland 2-0 in Wednesday's re-arranged game. WWE wrestling star Wade 'Bad News' Barrett went for a 3-0 Gunners win when he gave the rest of his scores in week 33.

A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth ONE point. The exact score earns THREE points.
Last weekend, Lawro got six correct results from 10 Premier League games, with three perfect scores.
His score of 12 points saw him beat heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson, who picked four correct results, but with no perfect scores. That gave her a total of four points.
We are keeping a record of the totals for Lawro and his guests (below), and showing a table of how the Premier League would look if all of Lawro's predictions were correct (at the bottom of the page).

| Lawro | 258 |

MONDAY
West Brom v Chelsea (20:00 BST)
West Brom are safe thanks to their point against Newcastle last time out so Baggies boss Tony Pulis has done his job again.
With the title already secured, Chelsea changed things around a little bit against Liverpool and I expect Jose Mourinho will play one or two young players this time too.
But just because they have achieved what they set out to, I don't see either manager abandoning their principles.
The main aim for both of them on Monday night will still be not to be beaten.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Thomas's prediction: 1-0
