In his weekly predictions column for BBC Sport, pundit and broadcaster Mark Lawrenson tipped a 1-1 draw.

Justifying his prediction, the ex-Liverpool defender claimed: "You could argue that last week's results were a travesty for both of these teams.

"West Brom's 10 men could easily have won by two or three goals at Burnley, but drew 0-0. Brighton deserved a victory by a similar margin against Crystal Palace, but lost in stoppage time."

He continued: "West Brom obviously need the points the most. They have improved, but it is an awfully long time since they won at home - 28 November against Sheffield United to be precise.

"So, I am going for a draw here. That would be a better result for Brighton than the Baggies, but they are not out of the woods yet because they have not picked up as many points as they have deserved in recent weeks, not just against Palace."

Meanwhile, Lawro's opponent for the week, London Grammar member Dot Major, went for a drab goalless draw.

Here are all of Lawro's predictions in full:

Manchester City 2-0 West Ham United

West Bromwich 1-1 Brighton & Hove Albion

Leeds United 2-0 Aston Villa

Newcastle United 0-2 Wolves

Crystal Palace 2-1 Fulham

Leicester 2-1 Arsenal

Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Burnley

Chelsea 1-1 Man Utd

Sheffield United 0-2 Liverpool

Everton 2-0 Southampton
