AC Milan’s historic team of the early 1990s once went 58 games without tasting defeat. Bayern Munich managed 53 between 2012 and 2014, while Arsenal ’s own Invincibles went 49 before Manchester United ended their streak in 2004.
But those runs were nothing compared to the one Mark Lawrenson predicted Liverpool would go on under Jurgen Klopp. Lawro’s predictions became as much of a fixture of a Premier League weekend as Sports Report and Garth Crooks’ Team of the Week.
The Reds legend tipped the latest round of matches as part of his 30-year association with BBC Sport. Lawrenson was a piece of the furniture at the BBC, appearing on Match of the Day, Football Focus and contributing to live action whether as a co-commentator or studio pundit.
