Writing in his 'Premier League predictions' piece for BBC Sport, Lawro backed Nuno Espirito Santo's Wolves to triumph 2-0 against Graham Potter's Brighton.

It's worrying times for Albion as they hover just one point above the relegation zone. While other teams at the bottom are starting to pick up points, Potter's men are yet to record a win or a clean sheet in 2020. Last time out they suffered a narrow 1-0 loss to old rivals Crystal Palace.

Wolves on the other hand are flying. They are making great strides in the Europa League and are also chasing down a Champions League place in the Premier League. Last time out they enjoyed a morale boosting 3-2 triumph at Tottenham.

"Nuno Espirito Santo has done a terrific job at Wolves," wrote Lawro. "They just keep on going, and last weekend's win over Tottenham was the latest occasion where they won, and impressed me.

"Brighton need a win to halt their slide towards the drop zone, but I just don't see them having enough of the ball to cause Wolves problems."

Lawro's prediction: 2-0

Lawro makes predictions for all 380 top-flight matches this season and goes up against a variety of guests. This week he is up against singer Tom Grennan, who agreed with Lawro and also believes Wolves will triumph. "Wolves to win 100%. 2-0," said Grennan.
