Former Liverpool center-back Mark Lawrenson has made his predictions for the upcoming English Premier League matches, according to News About Nigeria.
Lawrenson believes that Manchester City will emerge as the winner of the league title this season. In the highly anticipated clash between Manchester City and Chelsea on Sunday, Lawrenson predicts a 2-0 victory for Manchester City.
Manchester City aims to secure their sixth Premier League title, and their dominant position in the league table has left Arsenal disappointed, as the Gunners have struggled to maintain their form in recent games.
Arsenal’s dreams of clinching the Premier League title this season suffered a setback due to their poor performances in March and April.
In addition to the Manchester City-Chelsea match, Lawrenson also predicts that Arsenal, managed by Mikel Arteta, will triumph over Nottingham Forest in a later fixture on Saturday afternoon.
Lawrenson foresees a 2-0 victory for Arsenal, which would narrow the gap between them and Manchester City to just one point. However, Lawrenson suggests that Manchester City’s superiority will be evident when they secure a victory against Chelsea on Sunday.
Interestingly, if Arsenal fails to defeat Nottingham Forest, they could inadvertently hand the Premier League title to Manchester City. The weekend’s Premier League action will kick off with Brentford visiting Tottenham on Saturday afternoon, with Lawrenson predicting a 2-0 win in favor of Tottenham.
Here are the rest of Lawrenson’s predictions for the Premier League weekend matches, which may be useful for betting:
- Tottenham 2-0 Brentford
- Bournemouth 0-2 Manchester United
- Fulham 2-1 Crystal Palace
- Liverpool 2-1 Aston Villa
- Wolves 1-1 Everton
- Nottingham Forest 0-2 Arsenal
- West Ham 1-2 Leeds
- Brighton 3-0 Southampton
- Manchester City 2-0 Chelsea
- Newcastle 2-0 Leicester
