Premier League predictions: Lawro v comedian Nish Kumar

Sam Allardyce will begin his stint as Everton manager against Huddersfield on Saturday - but how will he get on at Goodison Park?

"My worry for Huddersfield is that when they concede the first goal they struggle. It can blow their gameplan wide open."

Lawro is going for a 2-0 Everton win - do you agree? You can make your own predictions now, take on Lawro and other fans, create your own league and try to make it to the top of the table by playing the new-look BBC Sport Predictor game.

Lawro scored 60 points in week 14, which meant he slipped to 2,760th place out of more than 280,000 users.

He will be making a prediction for all 380 top-flight games this season, against a variety of guests.

Lawro takes on comedian Nish Kumar for this weekend's fixtures.

Kumar - who appears in the new series of 'Live at the Apollo' - is a Manchester United fan.

He told BBC Sport: "I became a United fan because I grew up in the tradition Mancunian suburb of Croydon.

"My best memories of United growing up are the Treble in 1999, Eric Cantona for both his goals and his martial art skills, and Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole tearing it up in the Nou Camp.

"In terms of my footballing skills they often say the most limited players become the best managers - so I think I would be an unbelievable manager."

A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points.
