BBC football pundit Mark Lawrenson has predicted that Tottenham Hotspur will beat Portsmouth on Saturday.
He told BBC Sport Online: “This is the curtain-raiser for the FA Cup semi-final meeting between the sides.
“Tottenham are in fourth and have some tough games coming up, so they really need to win this one. Pompey are cruising to the semi-final because with all due respect to them, they’re relegated already.
“Portsmouth might be forgiven if they chose to leave players out between now and their 11 April Wembley appearance because it would be massive for them if they got to an FA Cup final this season – not to mention what a boost it would be for their finances.
“Prediction: 2-0.”

Who gives a monkey's what that clown thinks? Don't tell me, he's also tipped Liverpool to win this week and finish 4th.
I predict that Mark Lawrenson has a thatched head.
Is Mark lawrenson the love child of Worzel Gummage and Aunt Sally ? The man is a dickhead.
I wish someone would do some research and tell the BBC just how many Spurs results "lawro" has got wrong this season.Maybe it might convince them to fire him.
Crap… Spurs will need to work harder to win now.
Oh my good lord laurie has predicted that Spurs will beat Portsmouth.
