Lawro is back with his predictions for this season, but the new sky predictor this season is Charlie Nicholas, looks like Merson has been dropped...

Apologies for last week, however, Charlie went for 3-0 City last week and Lawro went for 2-1 for City

This week Lawros guest is Swimmer Adam Peaty who is a Forrest fan.

Tottenham were pretty unimpressive until the final 20 minutes of their win over Aston Villa, but that doesn't matter - they got the win, which is what the top teams do when they don't play well.

City were a lot more like their usual selves in their big win against West Ham, but I am expecting a much tighter game here because Spurs have got the weapons to hurt them on the break.

I still expect Pep Guardiola's side to win, but it is not going to be straightforward.

Lawro's prediction: 2-1

Adam's prediction: 3-1

It's a cracking game again I loved the Manchester United game against Chelsea, the way the game unfolded and how expansive it was. This is one of those games. There is a spark in my brain that questions where Mauricio Pochettino thinks he is? It is a judgement of where his team is at. What team will Pep Guardiola pick?

Christian Eriksen came off the bench last week and helped, but do they change the system or format? I think there are issues at Tottenham, but it is not the manager's making. It's between the players and owners, but I see problems here for Tottenham. Man City, with Sterling having scored a hat-trick away from home, are mind-blowing.

CHARLIE PREDICTS: 4-1

Cheers WW. Noticed D.C. was missing last week. He was on Soccer Saturday last week though I think so I don’t think SKY have permanently given him his cards, shame.

Not overly keen on Champagne Charlie as he always seemed to have a beef with us but I do like his prediction of 4-1. Whether he is correct is not the point. The fact is he’s prepared to call it as he sees, unlike Lawro who rarely, if ever, goes for any side to get more than 2 goals. How he hasn’t been replaced is a mystery

Why is Nicholas asking loads of questions when he is supposed to be an expert? (I can do it too). I will settle for the score matching his prediction though.
