Premier League predictions: Lawro v Sting and his son

BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.

Lawro's opponents for this weekend's Premier League fixtures are Sting and his son Joe Sumner, who are both Newcastle fans.

"Football played a big part in my life growing up in Wallsend," Sting told BBC Sport. "The last trophy we won was the Fairs Cup in 1969 and I went to a lot of our home games during that run.

"Bobby Moncur was the captain and he was my hero - he still is.

"My favourite players are from that era - people like Jim Iley, all those old people.
