Mark Lawrenson's FA Cup final and Premier League predictions
Last updated on .From the section Football
BBC Sport football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.
This week, Lawro is up against former snooker world champion Dennis Taylor, who famously beat Steve Davis on the final black to win the title in 1985.
Taylor, who is commentating on this year's World Championship at the Crucible for the BBC, tipped Blackburn, QPR and Bolton to collect vital wins in their survival battle.
