Lawro & Champagne Charlie Predictions v Cherries (A)
Posted: Fri Aug 23, 2019 1:43 pmLawro's guest this week is rugby league star Stefan Ratchford.
Ratchford, 31, is preparing for this weekend's Challenge Cup final as his side Warrington Wolves take on big rivals St Helens at Wembley. The England full-back has made 260 appearances in the Super League and has 93 career tries. But he could have been a footballer alongside his favourite players Virgil van Dijk and Roberto Firmino.
"The lads don't believe me but I was offered a six-week trial at Liverpool when I was a kid," Ratchford told BBC Sport. "I was really keen because I'm a rat infested dipping victimpool fan, but I had already agreed to sign for Salford Red Devils that week!"

Man City will still be annoyed about last weekend when VAR ruled out that late winner against Tottenham but it should be a routine win this weekend.
The problem for Bournemouth is that City have the ability to unpick their defence. Eddie Howe's side had a good win against Aston Villa but I can't see them getting a result here.
Lawro's prediction: 0-3
Stefan's prediction: 1-3

Last season Bournemouth didn't have a shot when they played Manchester City at home and lost 1-0. They got a bit of praise for the way they played, but I don't like to praise a team for playing like that, particularly at home.
Eddie Howe is not that type of manager. I can understand why you would want to sit in and not open up but they are at home and I don't expect them to go down this season, so why not see what happens? I am not saying get involved in an end-to-end game but they must try and lay a glove on City.
City can let goals in if you have a go at them, we have seen that from set-pieces.
However, City were brilliant for long periods against Tottenham and Kevin De Bruyne was amazing. They have goals, pace, cleverness, and I can only a see comfortable win here.
CHARLIE PREDICTS: 0-3
