Lawro's Premier League and FA Cup predictions v Jermaine Jenas and Trevor Nelson
- Published
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 FA Cup semi-finals and Premier League fixtures are former Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas and Radio 1Xtra DJ Trevor Nelson, who is a Chelsea fan.
FA Cup: Jenas & Nelson take on Lawro
Jenas and Nelson made their predictions live on Radio 1Xtra's Charlie Sloth show on Thursday.
"From a neutral point of view, this is the game everyone wants to see right now with the two top teams in the Premier League going at it," Jenas said.
"I don't think there has been a bigger game in the FA Cup for a few years now.
"Everyone was expecting Chelsea to run away and win the league - now we get the opportunity to see them go head to head to get to the final."
Nelson, who has been a Chelsea season ticket holder for more than 20 years, will be at the game as a fan and thinks his side are underdogs.
"Tottenham are the favourites," Nelson explained. "They are playing some fluid football.
"I have to be honest with you, when they come on the TV now I don't like watching.
"But what I do is go out of the room for half an hour and when I come back in they are always 2-0 up, and the game is over. They are destroying everybody."

SUNDAY
Burnley 0-2 Man Utd
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Jermaine's prediction: 1-1
Trevor's prediction: 1-3
Arsenal 2-1 Man City (AET)
Lawro's prediction: 0-2
Jermaine's prediction: I think it will be wide open, even if the fact it is a semi-final will calm it down a little bit.
In my head I am thinking 3-3 but Arsenal are just not free-flowing or playing well at the moment and City will have Kompany back too. 1-3
Trevor's prediction: I don't care for either team at all so it will be a great watch, because both teams only have one way of playing - going on the attack.
City are overwhelming favourites because of their frontline, but neither team can defend. If Kompany is fit for this game, City win - it is simple as that as far as I am concerned, because Arsenal don't have a Vincent Kompany. 2-4
Liverpool 1-2 Crystal Palace
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Jermaine's prediction: 1-2
Trevor's prediction: 2-1
