BBC pundit Mark Lawrenson has made his predictions for his weekend’s Premier League action. Lawro has gone back to betting against Newcastle after picking us to win last weekend.
Last week, he was right on the mark predicting a 2-1 win for Newcastle. However, today he has selected Burnley for a 2-0 win at home on Saturday.
This is his prediction in full:
Burnley have lost their past three games, conceding 11 goals in the process, which is not what you expect from them under Sean Dyche – I bet training has not been much fun for them this week.
I think we will see a reaction from them here and, at the very least, they are going to be competitive against Newcastle.
The Magpies have been excellent of late, though. They are a such a hard-working team and it does not matter one bit that they are not always easy on the eye.
This is going to be a terrific battle, but I would back Burnley.
While Lawro was complimentary here, he’s selecting Newcastle to lose at Turf Moor but thinks we’ll give a good account of ourselves.
It’s interesting to note that Lawrenson picked Newcastle to lose 2-0 at Aston Villa the last time we were going for a third straight win.
Unfortunately, he was spot on in that prediction. However, he’s often more wrong than not when predicting Newcastle to lose of late.
Martin and Jonjo– Newcastle’s in form duo
It’s hard to foresee how Newcastle are going to play without Allan Saint-Maximin. He’s going to be a big loss over the next month.
Though we still have Jonjo Shelvey and Martin Dubravka, who have been outstanding over the past few weeks. Martin has been making the saves while Jonjo’s scored in three straight.
Andy Carroll could also get his second start of the season for the struggling Joelinton. The 30-year-old striker has been outstanding with an assist in each of our last two matches.
We’ll definitely need all of them to keep their levels high. Hopefully, someone else can come in and fill the void left by Allan Saint-Maximin’s injury.
It won’t be easy, but we think Steve Bruce and the lads can keep the run going on Saturday.
What Will Be The Result In Saturday's Match At Burnley?
- Win (43%, 716 )
- Draw (34%, 563 )
- Loss (23%, 391 )

Comment #1Rather unsurprising to see EGB equivocating the LP with the CP on the environment. I guess somebody hasn’t heard of ‘the green new deal’, much less anything else.
It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so tragic. The equivalent of comparing a certain Sanders/AOC with one Drump on environmental policies.

How am I equivocating the LP with the CP on the environment, the Green deal is an EU initiative and nothing to do with either of those parties at the moment.
The only actual party I would vote for at present would be the Greens if there was a candidate.
They seem to be the only ones with ideas that would work and are affordable.

I thought that there was an agreed deal already in place if the loan was to be turned into a permanent signing.

Comment #8EGB, you demonstrate my point perfectly. The Green *New* Deal is a LP policy, and the LP leader has the backing of one of its main proponents in AOC.
But hey, they are all the same, the LP & CP.
I would make a joke about free BB, but I cannot think of one right now, sorry.

OK you may well be correct, I must admit I haven’t delved deeply into any of the main parties policy’s as I don’t believe that any of them are either workable or real policies, merely electioneering.
Again without the blessing of being able to foresee the future, who knows!

Comment #12With the free ticket give away
And the impending rebrand of his tat shops, with the inevitable plastering of it all over the ground
It shows one simple truth

So we can expect another 13 years of non competitiveness , asset stripping and lies

Comment #19Lesh
You made the point that the DT is a major C party contributor, which I wouldn’t dispute, they probably are.
However every party is dependent on donations from various sources and I’d bet that the Grauniad are to one of them, I don’t know that for sure so you don’t need to correct me.
The TUC are a major contributor to the L party which is now very ironic as with the demise of industry in this country probably has more C party members in it’s ranks, so is this it right for the Union leaders to do this.
But again I don’t buy the DT for it’s politics, I find it a good read, you want to demonise it that’s your choice just don’t make assumptions about me cos of how you feel.
