Lawro's verdict : Draw. Liverpool v Arsenal (13:30 BST) Liverpool were good last weekend and deserved to beat Manchester City but their problem - and this is the same one from last year - is goals. If Luis Suarez doesn't score or Steven Gerrard chip in, who is going to score on a regular basis? How they perform in front of goal will be the main difference between finishing fourth or not. Lawro on Theo Walcott "People have made a big deal about Theo Walcott maybe not signing a new contract and leaving. Let him go. Walcott has been around a long time now and I don't think there is enough end product from him and I'm not sure there ever will be. If Arsenal can get good money for him they should take it because they have Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain who I think is going to be a better player." Liverpool have some outstanding players. You can see that Joe Allen is a very good footballer. And Raheem Sterling has great ability and is quick, but the other thing is that tactically and defensively for the team he did really well, especially for one so young. With Arsenal, everybody makes a big thing about Robin van Persie leaving but they have signed good players. They may not have scored in two games but Stoke away is a tough fixture and Sunderland are no pushover. The new players are slowly finding their feet. Both Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud have come from different leagues and they need time. What is unusual and very encouraging for Arsene Wenger's team is that they haven't conceded yet. Prediction: 1-1
