Tottenham v Hull (20:00 GMT)
Tottenham are clearly a good side but there is a 'but' and the but is there are a lot of games when they are ordinary and they don't have a cutting edge.
This should not be one of them. Hull got something out of their topsy-turvy game against Crystal Palace at the weekend but they let opposing teams have a lot of chances
Lawro's prediction: 3-0

Tottenham v Burnley (16:00 GMT)
Burnley's form has not got any better of late, and they still only have one goal on the road this season.
We are getting to the stage where I am thinking the score will be 'Burnley 0' whenever they are away from home.
Tottenham were decent against Manchester United without offering much of a threat, but they were too strong for Hull in midweek and I am expecting a similar outcome on Sunday.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0

He is only going for us as it helps Liverpool
"This fixture always leaves me wondering why the fans hate each other so much? They seem to detest the opposing club. Why I don't know, but it will make for a spicy atmosphere.
Lawro's prediction: 2-1"

Charlie Nicholas has gone for us to win too. Merson, LeTissier and McInally have gone for a draw.

Man City v Tottenham (17:30 GMT)
Tottenham are flying right now and I don't think Jan Vertonghen's injury will affect them because in Kevin Wimmer and Ben Davies they have got a couple of potential replacements at the back.
I like their 3-5-2 formation because it really suits their players and you could argue that, at the moment, they are the best team in the league.
I would expect some improvement from Manchester City after last week's heavy defeat against Everton but they are struggling defensively and this Spurs team will definitely create chances against them too.
Put it this way, I can see there being a few goals at both ends.
There has been a lot of debate about City's £50m defender John Stones of late.
Stones is a really good footballer who is a bit unlucky that Nicolas Otamendi is his centre-back partner, and City's full-backs are not good enough.
But Stones has got to start making good defensive decisions himself. He needs to become a defender who can manage the game, because City do not have one at the moment.
Lawro's prediction: 2-2

What do we think of Lawro's latest prediction. He's got a few right recently but hope he's dead wrong on this one.
Sunderland v Tottenham
Tottenham were given a scare by Wycombe in the FA Cup but then Mauricio Pochettino did make a few changes with this game in mind.
They are on a great run, but I actually think it will be difficult for Spurs to adjust when most of their regulars come back into the team.
Sunderland did not have a game at the weekend so they will be ready for them, and I am going for a bit of a shock result here.
Lawro's prediction: 1-0

Wtf is that supposed to even mean? The first 11 played together a little over week ago. The potential adjusting issue only occurs when non-regulars have to come into the side. I think this is possibly his most ridiculous prediction for us yet!
