​

A correct result is worth ONE point. A correct score earns THREE points.

Leeds - Chelsea
Marsha Thomason: It's about time Chelsea lose. 1-0.
Mark Lawrenson: I can't see past the visitors in this one. 0-3.

Manchester United - Q.P.R.
Marsha Thomason: I'd like to say otherwise but Man United will win this. 3-0.
Mark Lawrenson: The Red Devils should be able to put quite a few past Rangers. 4-0.

Swansea - Newcastle
Marsha Thomason: The Swans can stop Newcastle in Wales. 2-2.
Mark Lawrenson: I just can't see this struggling Swansea side do anything against the champions after midweek game in Europa League. 0-3.

Aston Villa - Arsenal
Marsha Thomason: This one will be close but Arsenal should take it. 1-2.
Mark Lawrenson: I'll go for a surprise here. 2-1.

Southampton - Manchester City
Marsha Thomason: We can't afford another wrong step. 1-3.
Mark Lawrenson: I also don't think the Citizens will allow any surprises this time. 0-3.

Tottenham - Hull
Marsha Thomason: Home win. 3-0.
Mark Lawrenson: Spurs are too good for Hull but they are also on the back of Europa League so it won't be easy. 3-2.

Last week, Lawro got three results right, with no perfect scores. His score of 3 was too good to be matched by the predictions of Arsenal fan Piers Morgan, who scored 2, managing two correct results with no perfect scores.

Lethal strikers give us an unexpected but welcome win at Stamford Bridge! It now seems riding the risk of dropping points away to Swansea by playing weakened team has paid back nicely and we overcome a huge obstacle ahead of defending the only cup we won last season!

We were hopeful the draw would be more kind than sending us against our bogey team... At least it's a home game. Sigh.

Premier League predictions: Lawro v Darcey Bussell

BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.

​

This week he takes on former British ballerina and Tottenham fan Darcey Bussell. Darcey is widely acclaimed as one of the great British ballerinas. Since retiring from ballet in 2007, she has continued to be very committed to the world of dance. In 2012 she became the President of the Royal Academy of Dance.

Lawro vs Tottenham fan Darcey

​

A correct result is worth ONE point. A correct score earns THREE points.

Manchester City - Leeds
Darcey Bussell: I can't see a way for Leeds to sneak anything from this one. 3-0.
Mark Lawrenson: I wouldn't bet against the Citizens here, wounded animals are most dangerous and this particular one's got multitude of claws. 5-1.

Chelsea - Fulham
Darcey Bussell: I always rate London derbies as games outside the regular season which often negate form or class. 1-1.
Mark Lawrenson: Derby or not, it's Chelsea and they will win it. 3-0.

Stoke - Manchester United
Darcey Bussell: I'll go for a surprise in this one. 2-1.
Mark Lawrenson: It wouldn't be that much of a shock if high-flying Potters take something from this game. 2-2.

Newcastle - Crystal Palace
Darcey Bussell: This one is a crystal-clear home win. 3-0.
Mark Lawrenson: The Magpies score for fun recently and this shouldn't be any different. 5-1.

Q.P.R. - Tottenham
Darcey Bussell: This will be a very hard game for us but hopefully our incredible attack will outscore them. 2-3.
Mark Lawrenson: I also like Spurs for it, but it won't be a big gap between those two. 1-2.

Arsenal - Southampton
Darcey Bussell: What a great chance for Arsenal to slip up! 1-1.
Mark Lawrenson: The Gunners have been terrible this season but it's gotta stop at some point. 2-1.

Last week, Lawro got four results right, with one perfect score. His score of 6 was good enough to beat the predictions of Manchester City fan Marsha Thomason, who scored 2, managing two correct results with no perfect scores.

Total scores after Week Nine
Lawro: 43
Guests: 21

The Contenders:

​

Newcastle (1st; 25pts; +16) - the Magpies racked up 12 points to record a perfect month and fire themselves up at the summit of the table!
Player of the month: Kurt Zouma 8.00
2 Current first team injuries:
Davide Santon - 1-6 days (sports hernia)
Landon Donovan - 3-4 weeks (torn groin muscle)

Chelsea (2nd; 23pts; +13) - the Blues picked up 7 points this month and step down from the top spot - but remain close to the reigning champions and current leaders Newcastle.

Player of the month: Paul Pogba 7.58
0 Current first team injuries.

Manchester City (5th; 19pts; +14) - the Citizens only managed 6 points this month and that means they drop out of top four for the time being.

2 Current first team injuries:

Bernard - 3-5 weeks months (torn hamstring)

Other teams to watch:​

Stoke (4th) - the Potters dropped down two positions but are still in the mix with the big guns!

Everton (7th) - the Toffees need to regain form if they want to challenge for Europe.

Liverpool (10th) - the promoted club had a good month and climbed six positions in the table.

Blackburn (16th) - the promoted club did enough to climb out of the bottom three.

Leeds (17th) - the promoted club had a poor month and slided down five positions to sit barely outside relegation zone.

Swansea, Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace occupy the bottom three - the former two are a win away from getting out but Palace are yet to taste victory and two points out of the first ten games turns them into strong favorites to face the drop.
