Lawro's Premier League predictions v comedian Nathan Caton
Caton told BBC Sport: "The mighty Bees are my local club in west London and they are my team.
"The best moment I have had supporting them was either getting promoted to the Championship in 2014, or beating our neighbours Fulham 4-1 at Craven Cottage last season.
"I went to that game and it was brilliant to see all our goals go in."

LAWRO'S PREDICTIONS
All kick-offs 15:00 BST unless otherwise stated
SATURDAY
Everton 2-1 Bournemouth
Lawro's prediction: 2-1
Caton's prediction: Everton lost at Wembley last week but they played really well in the second half against United. 2-0
Newcastle 1-0 Crystal Palace
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Caton's prediction: Palace will be on a high after winning their semi-final but they might be saving themselves for the final, while Newcastle are scrapping. 1-0
Stoke 1-1 Sunderland
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Caton's prediction: I have a sneaky feeling Sunderland will get something. 1-1
Watford 3-2 Aston Villa
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Caton's prediction: Villa could play a bit better now that relegation has taken the weight off their shoulders, but I'm backing Watford. 2-0
West Brom 0-3 West Ham
Lawro's prediction: 2-1
Caton's prediction: West Ham are still going for a European spot and I think they will have too much for the Baggies. 1-3
Arsenal 1-0 Norwich
SUNDAY
Swansea 3-1 Liverpool
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Caton's prediction: This was the Brendan Rodgers derby - I guess it is the Joe Allen derby now. 1-2
Man Utd 1-1 Leicester
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Caton's prediction: Oh, this is a massive game. If United play like they did in the first half of their FA Cup semi-final against Everton then I can't see them losing. With Leicester striker Jamie Vardy still suspended I am going for United to shade it. 2-1
Southampton 4-2 Man City
Lawro's prediction: 0-2
Caton's prediction: Both teams are on form, but City might want it a bit more to cement a top-four place. 2-3
MONDAY
Chelsea 2-2 Tottenham
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Caton's prediction: Chelsea will not let Tottenham beat them, I know that for a fact. So as good as Spurs are playing, Chelsea will be playing their hearts out to let Leicester win the league. 2-2
Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
