Lawro vs Guy Mowbray

 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 Match of the Day commentator Guy Mowbray. Mowbray has predicted five draws on a tight Bank Holiday Monday but has backed Manchester City to beat title rivals Leicester. Lawro is also up against a state-of-the-art super-computer called SAM (Sports Analytics Machine) for the second week running. Our scoring system has changed this season and a correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is now worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points. On Boxing Day SAM predicted three correct results, plus two perfect scores , to register an impressive 110 points - equal top on the guest leaderboard! SAM - built by Professor Ian McHale, Dr Georgi Boshnakov and Tarak Kharrat from the Centre for Sports Business at the University of Salford - pipped Lawro, who picked four correct results and one perfect score to score 80 points .
