Lawro has gone score draw: Tottenham v Liverpool (13:30 BST) Liverpool have been OK so far. They defeated Southampton, by not playing particularly well, then they became unhinged against Manchester City. Defensively, they are still finding their feet. Mario Balotelli Former Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli joined Liverpool from AC Milan Apart from how the defence will cope, the other question is will new signing Mario Balotelli play up front? There is a way of incorporating him in the team, which is with a 'diamond' formation. They played that system seven or eight times last season and they won seven times. The 'diamond' enables them to play two up front. Manager Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham were fortunate to win at West Ham and then thoroughly deserved to beat QPR last week. Lots of teams will go to White Hart Lane and come away with nothing; Liverpool went there and spanked them 5-0 last season, but I don't see that happening on Sunday. Why Balotelli? Balotelli is a good signing. Liverpool have nothing to lose. They say he's "this, that and the other" and that he upsets the dressing room, but he doesn't, because the players love him. Manager Brendan Rodgers is very good at man-management and I think £16m is good business. It's different going to Liverpool. You become one of the family - you are very, very aware of upsetting the family. If he buys into that they might have got themselves a bargain. Lawro's prediction: 1-1
