Football Tips: Lawro’s Saturday shouts feature Man Utd, Arsenal & a 13/2 play

The Soccer Soothsayer's gazed into his crystal ball ahead of the weekend's action.

Saturday’s football tips

12.30pm: Brighton v Manchester United
1-1 Draw
Joshua Zirkzee to score

5.30pm: Aston Villa v Arsenal
Arsenal to win 2-1
Kai Havertz to score

12.30pm: Brighton v Manchester United

I’m going to go for a draw. Brighton were good at Everton, but they were only good after 20 minutes and they could have been 2-0 down.

Manchester United got the job done against Fulham and the big thing will be, can they get the ball off Brighton – especially at the Amex? They’re one of the best teams in the league at keeping hold of it.

It’s the new manager Fabian Hürzeler’s first game at home, that’s if his mum lets him out! I’ll go for a score draw here, 1-1.

I thought Joshua Zirkzee’s movement was really good against Fulham which surprised me a bit. He actually looked like a striker with the way that he moved. United will get chances against Brighton and I fancy Zirkzee will take one.

5.30pm: Aston Villa v Arsenal

The first thing to mention in this game is that it’s a good time for Aston Villa to face Arsenal because in the next couple of weeks the Champions League kicks off and that will be a distraction. The hardest thing for Villa this year will be combining the two competitions.

Arsenal looked good against Wolves, though Wolves could have nicked a goal and made it a bit nervy. I’m going to go for Arsenal to win this 2-1 and I think they’re going to win the league.

It’s a big game but I think it might actually be harder for Villa as they’re at home, believe it or not. They’ve lost Douglas Luiz who was so important for them, and I just fancy Arsenal.

For a goal scorer I’ll got for Kai Havertz. People bash him a lot, he didn’t really get it at Chelsea did he. I don’t know if he needs an arm around him but he looks good now. He looks confident, he’s big and he’s quick and he’s strong.
