Last week in the English Premiership was an interesting one. Champions Leicester continued their struggles, coming from 1-0 down and then 2-1 down to draw with Middlesbrough. But the real highlight was in Wales, as Swansea came from 4-3 down in the dying minutes to beat Crystal Palace 5-4. It was a great advert for the English Premiership and it had all of us scratching our heads as to how it happened. It was great to see both sides going at each other, and if they keep that up, they might just stay out of trouble, or at least give their fans something fun to watch. Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea all kept up their winning ways, with the lead in the English Premiership changing hands throughout the weekend, but it finished with Chelsea sitting on top ahead of Liverpool.
Mark Lawrenson didn’t have too shabby a week last week with his predictions, which is good to see. He managed an average five correct result predictions, but they were mostly the odds-on hotpots. However, he also managed to get a couple of correct scores in there, which boosted Lawro’s results to a nice profit of +3.35 units last week, so Lawro’s loss has now gone down again and we’re almost in single-figure territory, but not quite, with a loss of -10.72 units. So, if Lawro can keep this up, he’s going to be in profit sooner rather than later, and with all the Christmas fixtures coming up, he’s got a lot of opportunities to make us some money with his predictions.

I have to say, I was a bit shocked when I saw Lawro was predicting a draw for Liverpool against Bournemouth. If you look at his predictions so far this season, he’s predicted 11 wins for Liverpool, 2 draws and 0 defeats, so it’s safe to say he loves his old side. In fact, the only other team he’s predicted no defeats for is Arsenal, but he has predicted more draws, four in fact. Conversely, he’s yet to predict a win for Hull. The other shock I guess is that he didn’t go for a draw in the Manchester City versus Arsenal game. There’s also a lot of 2-0 and 1-1 predictions this week. It’s safe to say that Lawro’s trend from last season is continuing this season.
