“Watford surprised me against Villa but I don't see them getting too many points on the road.
“This might be one of the games the Hornets see as winnable, though, so it could turn out to be a little bit more open than people expect.”
Meanwhile, the 64-year-old's prediction opponent fan for the week, The Wombats drummer and Everton fan Dan Haggis, opted for a 1-1 draw.

Elsewhere, Lawro tipped the likes of Manchester United, Brentford and Leeds United to pick up wins.
