Lawro predicts Tottenham to draw at Aston Villa

BBC football pundit Mark Lawrenson has predicted that Tottenham Hotspur will draw with Aston Villa this afternoon.

Last time out Lawro incorrectly predicted that Spurs would beat West Ham United 2-0 at the Lane, when indeed we all know what happened that day.

He told BBC Sport Online: ” I know Tottenham went to Villa Park and won 4-0 in the Capital One Cup in September, but this will be a completely different game.

“Christian Benteke will be back up front for Aston Villa after making a faster-than-expected recovery from his injury, and that will clearly be a big boost for them.

“Villa will have a point to prove after that defeat while we must wait and see whether Spurs have been unhinged a bit by their shock home defeat by West Ham.

“That was not only their worst result of the season so far but, within a few hours, Andre Villas-Boas saw all his players disappear to play international football. He will not have had much of a chance to work with them on what went wrong.

“Lawro’s prediction: 1-1.”
