Premier League predictions: Lawro v Eliza Doolittle
- Published
BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.
His opponent for the weekend Premier League fixtures is singer Eliza Doolittle.
Doolittle told BBC Sport: "I'm a huge Arsenal fan. I grew up in Camden so it was right round the corner from me. And I love them with all my heart."
The Londoner is part of the group singing the official England 2014 World Cup song - a cover of Take That hit Greatest Day. She will be joined by Katy B, who lost 7-6 to Lawro last month, Gary Barlow and several other singers, while Match of the Day host Gary Lineker is one of 12 ex-England internationals on the single.
The video made its debut on Sport Relief night on Friday, 21 March. Proceeds from the sale of the record will go to the charity.
