  18. Lawro's Prediction for Wolves v Everton (Sunday, 14:00 BST) I know Wolves showed a bit of spirit to fight back from 4-1 down for a draw at Swansea last week but I cannot see Terry Connor getting a first win as manager here.

They are in mid-table but they still have plenty to play for because they want to finish above the Reds in the table and they are not going to relax now.
