Wade Barrett vs.....
by Adam D Fri 17 Apr - 8:57
Mark Lawrenson.
BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.
Lawro's opponent for this weekend's FA Cup semi-finals and Premier League fixtures is WWE wrestling star Wade 'Bad News' Barrett.
Barrett is a lifelong Preston fan who has trained with the team and invited some of their players along to the 'WWE Live' show in Manchester last weekend.
"I went out in front of the crowd and kind of disrespected Manchester United and Manchester City to all of the Manchester fans," Barrett told BBC Sport.
"I told them it was about time they saw what a real team looked like, at which point I brought the Preston boys out on to the stage.
"Of course we were roundly booed by everybody, and then I went down to the ring and started beating people up. It was a lot of fun."
It is not the first time Barrett has clashed with United - in February he had a light-hearted run-in on social media with Wayne Rooney about the striker's controversial penalty at Deepdale in the FA Cup fifth round.

"We had put in an amazing performance but Wayne ruined it all by diving for that penalty in the dying minutes," Barrett explained.
"So I called him out and offered to fight him, at which point he decided he wanted 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin as a tag-team partner.
"I brought in my own partner, Preston striker Kevin Davies, and as far as I was concerned everything was set. But then Wayne went very quiet. I think he knows he is a beaten man but hopefully one day we will catch up with each other."
A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth ONE point. Getting the exact score correct earns THREE points.
Last weekend, Lawro got five correct results from 10 Premier League games, with three perfect scores.
His score of 11 points saw him beat The Vaccines singer Justin Young, who picked seven correct results, but with only one perfect score. That gave him a total of nine points.
We are keeping a record of the totals for Lawro and his guests (below), and showing a table of how the Premier League would look if all of Lawro's predictions were correct (at the bottom of the page).

I would pay anything to see BNB put Lawrenson through a table with a Wasteland.

Alan Hansen to heel turn and hit Lawro with his 'school boy error' finisher.

As a Scotsman, Alan Hansen will always be a heel.
