BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson will be making a prediction for all 380 Premier League games this season against a variety of different guests.

His opponent for the opening weekend of the Premier League season is The Courteeners frontman Liam Fray.

Premier League: The Courteeners' Liam Fray gives his predictions

Manchester United fan Fray, a former Old Trafford ball-boy who went to the same school as United legend Paul Scholes, is tipping his side to get off to a winning start against Swansea in Louis van Gaal's first competitive game as manager.

You can see all of Liam's predictions in Football Focus at 12:10 BST on Saturday on BBC One and the BBC Sport website (in the UK).

The Courteeners, whose song 'Not 19 Forever' was used by United to mark their 20th league title in 2013, release their fourth album, 'Concrete Love' on 18 August.

A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth ONE point. Getting the exact score correct earns THREE points.

You can see how all the guests from last season fared in the scoreboard at the bottom of the page, plus the final table showing how the 2013-14 Premier League would have looked if all of Lawro's predictions were correct.

All kick-offs at 15:00 BST unless otherwise stated.

I am at Turf Moor on Monday for BBC Radio 5 live and I cannot wait. I love the thought of Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho and his team playing in the Ribble Valley.

Lawro is backing Mourinho to win his third Premier League title with Chelsea this season

The Clarets are not glamorous but they are not daft either - they know they not going to attract top foreign players to Turf Moor and it would make no financial sense to spend £10m on a signing.

Their manager Sean Dyche's approach to trying to stay in the Premier League is to is keep the nucleus of his side that won promotion together, and they will have a right go at staying up.

Yes, they will lose some games and, yes, they will take some beatings but in terms of application and effort they will not be lacking.

In fact I don't think there will be a team in the Premier League who will show more of either. The fans at Turf Moor will play a big part too.

I remember Burnley beating Manchester United in their first home game at the start of their last season in the top flight, in 2009, and the atmosphere was amazing.

Turf Moor will be rocking again on Monday but what will stop them doing something similar to Chelsea on Monday is that I think they are playing the team that will go on to win the league title.

Lawro's prediction: 0-2

Liam's prediction: 1-3
