Lawro's predictions

Fourth place is on the line in the north London derby on Thursday, with Spurs needing a win to close the gap on their neighbours.

Mark Lawrenson, a football expert for the British Broadcasting Corporation, says it is going to be fast and frantic.

I am not sure if they are set up to get a draw, and it will end goalless.

Majestic is a DJ, producer and radio presenter who released his latest single, Time to Groove featuring Nono, at the end of April. He also has his own Tottenham podcast, Same Old Spurs.

If they sit in for a point and let the pressure build in a north London derby at our stadium, it is not going to end very well for them.

If they attack us and leave space behind, we can hurt them.

The atmosphere is going to be amazing because there is so much on the line. This game is going to show what Mikel Arteta's team is about, and I think it will be a tough task for him.

They have had some great results in the past few weeks, but I think the rub of the green they have had playing teams at the right time has really helped them.

Everything has gone for them recently, but there has to be a blip in there, and hopefully that starts with us.

I am confident that we will get the right result out of the derby, but we are relying on other people to help us get into the top four.

The last game of the season is at home toWatford so they should be okay, but they could get dragged into it. If we can beat them, they will play at St James Park for the final time this season, and Eddie Howe will be gone.

The last day of the season in 2016 saw us lose to Newcastle by a score of 5-1, which allowed them to finish above us. I wonder if they can help us out, but we need to win on Thursday first.

Majestic
Whether Spurs make the top four or not, Majestic is desperate for Antonio Conte to stay on as manager. "He is an elite manager, but to keep him you have to trust him and give him the tools. Where do we go next if he leaves?"

The new single, What Would You Do?, is a collaboration between David Guetta and Bryson Tiller, as well as multi Brit-nominated DJ and producer Joel Corry.

He has just returned from a tour of Australia and the United States that began in March, but he has enjoyed following the progress of the team from afar.

We had three terrible results in April and I was like "here we go". It felt like it was the same old thing.

The best thing about it is that the top four is in our own hands.

It feels like it is ours if we can avoid defeat on Thursday. It feels like a cup final to me, because we have to go there to win it, not just to try to get through it.

I am quietly confident that we will get something out of the game - we are going into it in great form and the manager has just signed a new contract, so the vibe around the club is really good.

We have to be careful. They want to beat us so badly that they're going to be so fired up. Antonio is a good manager and Harry Kane and Son Heung-min are always trouble, so it is all or nothing for them.

It is nothing to be afraid of. It is going to be one of the games of the season and I am really excited.

Joel Corry
Arsenal are trying to get back in the Champions League for the first time since the 2016-17 season. "If we make it, it would be such a sign of progress for the club," says Corry. "We've been in limbo for a few years now but it would kind of be a statement that we are back."

LAWRO'S PREMIER LEAGUE PREDICTIONS

TUESDAY

Aston Villa v Liverpool

Aston Villa v Liverpool (20:00 BST)

Much will be made of the match between Villa and the Reds, just as it was when they met in December.

I want to know if he will go with two up front again after partnering Danny Ings and Ollie Watkins in the attack on Saturday.

It worked well, but it will be interesting to see if he does the same against the Reds.

Whatever Villa do, the way the Reds play will stay the same. They expect Manchester City to keep winning, so they have to try to do the same.

I don't think he will make big changes to his side for the FA Cup final.

Despite losing ground to Manchester City over the weekend, they are still in the title race.

Lawro predicted 1-2.

We stopped City from winning the quadruple when we knocked them out of the competition in the middle of the season, and I think we can do the same this season. We had chances to win the game, but we were able to leave with a point. I think the Reds respond here. 1-2

It is getting to that crunch time of the season and I feel like it is going to be an off-day for the Reds. At the back of their minds they must be wondering what if we end up with the Carabao Cup?

WEDNESDAY

Leeds v Chelsea

Leeds v Chelsea (19:30 BST)

It didn't help them very much that they were frantic and frenzied on Sunday.

They might have lost that game, but to be beaten the way they were was not a good sign for the team.

Snapshot of the bottom of the Premier League table: 15th Southampton, 16th Everton, 17th Burnley, 18th Leeds, 19th Watford & 20th Norwich

They are not convincing themselves. They threw away a 2-0 lead against Wolves on Saturday and are now looking over their shoulders at the other teams in the race for a spot in the playoffs.

The Blues need to get something from this game and not look ahead to the FA Cup final.

Sun 15 MayBrentford (h)Tottenham (a)Brighton (h)
Thu 19 MayC Palace (h)Aston Villa (a)
Sun 22 MayArsenal (a)Newcastle (h)Brentford (a)

At the moment, they are not reliable, but they have some good players in their side.

Enough of the Blues quality should shine through among the hurly burly.

Lawro's prediction was 0-2.

This is a huge game, even before you consider the history and rivalry behind it. They are at Elland Road. The better team will want a trophy so will their minds be on Wembley?

I know we can still catch them, but I don't think they will have too many problems here. I think they will slam them. 1-2

Leicester v Norwich

Leicester v Norwich (19:45 BST)

I thought that because they were already down, they might have just gone out against West Ham and played with a bit of freedom. The Canaries were taken apart.

Despite putting a strong team out, the team lost. I had tipped the Toffees to win, but I was wrong because I thought the Foxes would rest a few players.

I was wrong about their line-up but we saw how Brendan Rodgers side cannot defend set-pieces, whoever is in their side. They should have more for Norwich.

Lawro predicted 2-0.

I can see the point of the prediction, as I can see them making a point with a much better performance than they have had this season. It was 2-0.

The prediction was 2-1.

Watford v Everton

Watford v Everton (19:45 BST)

They are going for their third win. If they get it, they would be very close to being sure of staying up, as they are playing well anyway, and their application is completely different to how it was earlier in the campaign.

It is a good time for them to be playing the Hornets. Many of the Hornets players are thinking the same thing as they know Roy is leaving in the summer.

I don't think they will put up much of a fight at home.

Lawro's prediction was 0-2.

Funnily enough, I fancy Watford here. I think there is going to be another obstacle in the way of them as they are on a great run. 2-1

There will be some drama, but I think they will get it. 3-4

Wolves v Man City

Wolves v Man City (20:15 BST)

Even if Fernandinho has to fill in at the back, I still think they will be okay.

I don't know what has happened to Wolves, because they are usually difficult to play against, and I wouldn't describe them as being that way at the moment.

I know they came back to get a draw with the Blues on Saturday, but it was down to a wobble by them.

The Reds have to play an extra game in the next fortnight because they are in, but City's run-in is probably a little bit more difficult.

Wed 11 MayWolves (a)

Lawro's prediction was 0-2.

City are just too good. The title is their only focus and they will go for it. 0-3

I think we will see City slip-up here, just as with the game at Villa on Tuesday. 2-2.

THURSDAY

Tottenham v Arsenal

Tottenham v Arsenal (19:45 BST)

I don't expect a good match, but it will be a good one to watch even if the quality isn't there.

It is going to be interesting to see how the teams approach the game. They don't find it easy to control games like this one where there will be a lot of bookings and maybe not much football played.

I don't think there will be many goals, and it is very hard to pick a winner.

Lawro predicted a score of 1-2.

We are going to win, according to the prediction by Majestic. We are at the moment and if we score one, a couple more will follow. The gaps come if we can get in front. It was 3-1.

I see a lot of goals and a lot of drama, but I am going to back my team to come out on top. Eddie Nketiah is on fire at the moment and I think he will score again. 3-4

Lawro, Majestic, andJoel were talking to Chris Bevan.

How did Lawro do last time?

Lawro got four correct results from 10 matches last weekend for a total of 40 points.

He was beaten by Bob Vylan, who got five correct results with no exact scores, giving him 50 points.
