Standings:
9-5 to Tarquin
Lawro - 69 right, 13 perfects - 37 points
Tarquin - 71 right, 12 perfects - 41 points
It's not been a good few weeks of late, for anybody - so maybe we can get above half right for once
Portsmouth v Burnley
This is the must-win game for Pompey, I suppose they'll do it, they seem to have goals in them, but I think Burnley will be a match for them - if they can get to 5-3 at West Ham then they can points here, and usually a decent home side gets one away win, here would be the obvious choice. In all honesty, even if Pompey win this, they're gone in May. I can't call it, so I've stupidly gone for a draw
Lawro: 2-0
Tarquin: 1-1

Arsenal have a habit of banging in the goals against lower sides at home - but Stoke are a mean side and have only conceded more that two once on the road, and that was Liverpool. Saying that, Arsenal are the most free-scoring team if you don't close them down, and all of Stoke's trips were to worse, typically low-scoring sides anyway, so I'll go for three
Lawro: 2-0
Tarquin: 3-0

Hull remain unpredictable, Villa should win, but you can't rule out the Tigers sneaking a goal in, nevertheless, smart money is on a straightforward win
Lawro: 2-0
Tarquin: 2-0

Penalty shoot-outs always knacker a team out, and Blackburn don't have reserves to call on, so you would think Liverpool can turn over their neighbours, just might be the right time to defeat Blackburn for the first time at home since opening day.
Lawro: 0-1
Tarquin: 1-2

Got to be United, but their luck will eventually run out and there will come a lower team who gets the better of them, I don't think that'll be this week though, unpredictable one, this.
Lawro: 1-3
Tarquin: 0-2

Wigan have impressed at home lately, and Birmingham aren't all that on the road - a solid outfit, yes, but they've only beaten Wolves and Hull away, Wigan should win this on their day
Lawro: 1-1
Tarquin: 1-0

Nice six-pointer, I've gone for Wolves to pick up their first win since September, but this could go either way quite easily (and a draw would be unhelpful for all concerned, so they probably will)
Lawro: 1-0

Stop copying me, Lawro! It just drags me down - this is really hard to call, on the one hand Chelsea should be expected to win, on the other City have drawn seven in a row and just seem to want to draw - whether it's tying a big team and not rolling over, or letting a small team in, they seem to actually aim for it, meanwhile Chelsea haven't drawn all season, but I think I have to back the Chelsea win here, but should be tight (Arsenal should have been tight too)
Lawro: 1-2
Tarquin: 1-2

I'm not sure about this - do Everton even have a team anymore? Their defence in particular seems to be on the treatment table more than the pitch - but I hear Distin should play, and Tottenham are hardly solid at the back, nor do they travel well, I'm sticking my neck out and going for a rare Everton win, no idea why...
Lawro: 1-1
Tarquin: 1-0
