Are we now looking at a two-horse race for the English Premiership, after Leicester and Spurs continued to pick up points, and Manchester City were throwing them away against Norwich? Arsenal are faltering, too, not just in the league, but in the FA Cup and in Europe, so surely it’s either Leicester or Spurs that will be winning their first Premiership crown. It would be almost impossible for both sides to capitulate, while Arsenal or Manchester City get maximum points. But then what do I know? It’s not like I’m the prediction god that is Mark Lawrenson.
And speaking of the great man, how did he get on last week? Well, in the FA Cup, Lawro managed to get three correct results, and one correct score, rightly going for a 1-1 draw between Manchester United and West Ham. The only game he failed to predict the correct result was the Arsenal vs Watford game. So not a bad showing in the FA Cup for the Liverpool legend. In the Premiership, Lawro got three correct results and one correct score, rightly predicting the 2-0 for Spurs against Aston Villa. Of course he failed to predict the Norwich and Manchester City draw, or Southampton’s win at Stoke, but it was a pretty damn good week considering how poor Lawro’s form has been. So how did he get on last week in terms of profit and loss? Well, he managed to make a profit of 8.99 units which was a welcome change from the recurring theme of losing that Lawro has developed recently. So that brings Lawro’s loss for the reason back into the 60s, although still not a respectable result, not by a long shot. The loss now stands at -62.47 units. Now, if he can get some correct results in the bag before the end of the season, that loss might just become a bit more respectable by the time Tottenham or Leicester lift the Premiership trophy.

So no real shocks in Lawro’s predictions, although he’s going against Leicester, yet again. However, there he is prediction a bit of a European hangover for his beloved Liverpoo, which might confuse people. But now maybe he’s thinking that Klopp’s men will be concerntrating on the Europa League instead of the Premiership, as it’s their last chance at a trophy this season.
