WHAT IS LAWRO THINKING?
Man City v Liverpool (20:15 BST)
City have had to watch Liverpool wrap up the title but Pep Guardiola's side are trying to win every other trophy this season, and they are going well.

Last season, this fixture was a thriller - with City winning 2-1 and John Stones making a brilliant goal-line clearance to help them secure victory at an electric Etihad Stadium with everyone in the ground knowing the title was on the line.

This scenario is clearly very different. Both teams will have something to prove, of course, but the main thing driving both of them this time will probably be that they don't want to lose. Quite often in games like that, nothing really happens.

There is no way Guardiola will field a weakened team this time, or Klopp for that matter, but I just don't expect it to be a classic for some reason. It doesn't help that there won't be any fans there.

Lawro's prediction: 1-1

Big Zuu's prediction: This could go so many ways. City could just be so angry that they absolutely dominate us. We could be a bit hung-over, or we could turn up and say 'we are Premier League champions, let's go and show it'.

I think it will be tight, but there will be some goals because of the quality of both attacks - there is going to be lot of really intricate passes played to try and open each other up - and both teams will go as hard as they can. 2-2

Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.

How did Lawro do last time?
Lawro correctly predicted the outcome of three out of the four weekend FA Cup quarter-finals but his guest, Peter Crouch Save Our Summer co-host Alex Horne, picked all four winners correctly.

Horne also made predictions of the latest round of Premier League games, which started on Saturday with Aston Villa versus Wolves and will end on Thursday with Manchester City against Liverpool. Along with Lawro and Big Zuu, he will have to wait until full-time at Etihad Stadium to find out his total score for week 32.

 

CHARLIE NICHOLAS HAS GONE FOR HOME WIN;3:2

Manchester City vs Liverpool, Thursday - 8:15pm, live on Sky Sports
Liverpool are Premier League champions and congratulations to them. They have been outstanding in every area.

What we will see in this game is an open game of football. It should suit Liverpool to go head-to-head with Manchester City. Kevin De Bruyne has been the star - he played an hour against Arsenal after tearing them apart and then the same with Newcastle, so he could be rested. His form has just continued.
City will not try to beat Liverpool to prove a point. They will build for the semi-final of the FA Cup and the Champions League when it comes around. Raheem Sterling has been scoring and playing better, which is the same as Riyad Mahrez. David Silva has been playing well as always. It will be one of these enjoyable matches.
The goals have been few and far between since the break, but the two sides respect each other, the way they want the ball and use the ball, and that is why they will be happy to go head-to-head. The champions will not be embarrassed by having a low percentage of the ball, but they will use the ball superbly when they get it. There will be some magical players on show and I think we will get just that sort of game.

CHARLIE PREDICTS: 3-2 (20/1 with Sky Bet)

 

We want the records
