Lawro the Twunt says... 2019/20

Is it not just

2-0 = where one side is expected to finish at least 4 positions higher than the other
2-1 when the side is expected to finish above the other. But maybe only 1-3 places higher
1-1 when either side could finish higher

Like he puts that much thought into it...
 
Tottenham v Southampton

I think Tottenham will be back with a bang this week, because they are a long way off being in crisis.

Mauricio Pochettinho did look somewhat disillusioned after last weekend's defeat by Leicester, and it does appear something is going on behind the scenes.

But that doesn't stop the players from performing and they should be too strong for Southampton. A comfortable win would go a long way to solving Spurs' problems.

Lawro's prediction: 3-0

Brighton v Tottenham (12:30 BST)

It would not surprise me if Tottenham manager Pochettino leaves the club in the near future.

Since the summer, some of the things he has said - like when he talked about how he is 'only the coach' and has no say in transfers - makes it feel to me like he is in the process of a long break-up.

I have thought for a while that Pochettino looks tired and how it looks like being Spurs manager has become a chore for him - but maybe he does not need time out of football, just out of Tottenham.

Spurs paid the price for chasing their Champions League game against Bayern on Tuesday when they were 4-2 down, and ended up conceding seven goals in total.

But I still think they will go to Brighton and win.

Spurs have got some very good players. Yes, they have had a stinker but surely there will be a reaction this weekend.

And the Seagulls have got problems of their own, with only two points from their past six games.

Brighton manager Graham Potter is reaching the stage where he might need to rethink his philosophy about playing good football for the sake of picking up some points.

Lawro's prediction: 0-2
 
Tottenham v Watford

This is a good fixture for Tottenham, who need a big response after being beaten by Brighton.

Watford picked up a point in their last game, at home to Sheffield United, but I think they will have to wait a bit longer for their first win of the season.

Lawro's prediction: 3-0

That's us fudged.
 
Oh brick... Didn't know Watford is yet to win. We all know how this will end now.
Ben foster always seems to have a worldie against us too, so pick a player who has never scored in their career or an ex Spur and there’d your 1-0 winning goal scorer combo right there...

And just to make matters worse, I’ve captained Kane in my fantasy team.

Etienne Capoue with the 30 yarder in the few mins then.
 
Arnie is Arnie, Gabriel is his latest 'co-star', Lawro is still just a Twunt

I am at Anfield for this game and think it is a tricky fixture for Liverpool to negotiate.

In the past few seasons, while Mauricio Pochettino has been in charge of Tottenham, the Reds always know they are going to get a game against Spurs.

Their last visit here, when Tottenham only lost to a late Toby Alderweireld own-goal, was an example of that. Spurs had been the better team in the second half.

Nobody is expecting that to be the case this time, after the way Tottenham have played in the past few weeks, but I still think they have got it in them to spring a shock.

They have got some really potent attacking players and it would not surprise me if they are close to their best again in this game after a series of disappointing results.

At the same time, I am a little bit worried that if Liverpool are below their best again, like they were against Manchester United when they did not quite get the different areas of their team right, then they might slip up.

Lawro's prediction: 1-1

Arnie's prediction: 2-1

Gabriel's prediction: 2-0

 
He had Leicester to draw 1-1, Arnie 2-2, but Gabriel it at 2-3 ... so she got the result right.
