BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.
Lawro's opponents for this weekend's Premier League fixtures and FA Cup quarter-finals are Sophie Rose, external from Chelsea supporter channel CFC Fan TV, external and Manchester United followers Adam McKola, external and Stephen Howson, external from Full Time DEVILS., external
Unsurprisingly, Sophie has a very different view from Adam and Stephen about how Monday's mouth-watering tie between Chelsea and United will turn out.

MONDAY
Chelsea v Man Utd (FA Cup, 19:45 GMT KO, live on BBC One from 19:30 GMT)
Manchester United's busy schedule that sees them play in Russia in the Europa League on Thursday night will obviously make a difference.
I will be fascinated to see what team United boss Jose Mourinho picks, because Chelsea are not a side you want to play when you are tired.
Chelsea will want to turn United - and Mourinho - over, just like they did when they beat them 4-0 in the Premier League October.
There will be no room for sentiment and that is just the way Chelsea are at the moment - they get the job done. That is not going to change because their manager Antonio Conte will not let them change.
The Blues are cruising in the league, 10 points clear and they have to be favourites to win that and the FA Cup too. There is no better team than them in the Premier League at the moment.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
FA Cup: Full Time Devils remember Jesse Lingard's FA Cup final winner
Sophie: Now for the big one. I am buzzing for this game. I am going and cannot wait.
As a Chelsea fan this fixture will always be bittersweet while Jose Mourinho is United's manager, but we did well against them earlier in the season when we beat them 4-0 in October.
It is going to be a really tense game and a tough one too. I think we will get through but it is going to be tight.
CFC Fan TV's prediction: 3-2
Adam: This could be a classic FA Cup tie.
Stephen: It is going to be very tight - I am struggling to call it but I think I am going 1-0.
Adam: I am going for the same scoreline as in Moscow in the 2008 Champions League final when we beat them in a penalty shoot-out. You having that?
Stephen: I will take whatever there is to get through this game, mate!
Full Time Devils prediction: 1-1 aet. United to win on penalties
Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
