Premier League predictions: Lawro v American Night actor Jeremy Piven

Manchester United beat Southampton 9-0 in February 2021, but how will Ralf Rangnick's misfiring team fare against Saints when they return to Old Trafford this weekend?

«I was at that game for 5 live and it was a very bizarre night.» said BBC Sport football expert Mark Lawrenson.

«This time? Well, Southampton will be on a high after the way they fought back to win at Tottenham on Wednesday. Saints won't just make things awkward for United, they will pose a threat too.»

Lawro is making predictions for all 380 top-flight matches this season, against a variety of guests.

This week's guest isactor Jeremy Piven, whose new film American Night was released on digital download this week.

Piven admits he is not a football expert, but something of an Arsenal fan after meeting Thierry Henry when the Gunners legend made a cameo appearance in the movie adaption of his hit TV series Entourage a few years back.

He told BBC Sport: «My first football match was Arsenal, so technically I'm an Arsenal fan because of that. I love the way it works.

»But I am not going to claim to know much about football — think of me as being like Ted Lasso with my attitude to it, because I don't have a huge reference for the game, but I do really appreciate it.

«I didn't see any goals at the Emirates but it was an incredible experience. To see that kind of atmosphere and see people that dedicated and knowledgeable about the sport, that they can be so passionate and focused for a zero-zero match was amazing really.

»To just be talking for days about the defence — I mean that's dedication!"

Piven is based in California but a regular visitor to London. He has another stand-up show at the London Palladium later this year after performing at Leicester Square in 2021, and
