This Lawro is up against Feeder bassist and Chelsea fan Taka.
It has been a frustrating season for Blues fans and Taka told BBC Sport: "I really don't know what to say about Chelsea at the moment. Sometimes we play great, other times I just think 'what is going on?'."
Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri's tactics have been criticised by some supporters, but Taka feels the bad atmosphere is affecting results and performance as the team chases a top-four finish.
"At the moment everyone should be behind the team and the manager," he added. "But nobody really knows what will happen next and there is always some drama going on. It is never dull. "Sarri might not stay and Eden Hazard could go to Real Madrid. If Hazard does leave, then we should use that money wisely to strengthen the squad, but we will not be able to do that if there is a transfer embargo in the summer - that would be a disaster. "Hopefully we will keep hold of our good youngsters like Callum Hudson-Odoi, but it is hard for young players to get a chance in the Premier League, at any club.
"Will we make the top four? I doubt it, to be honest with you. As much as I want them to do well, the other teams are looking strong and it is going to be very tough.

It is true that everything went against Cardiff in their defeat by Chelsea on Sunday, but they have to forget that now and just get on with it.
On the plus side, their performance against the Blues was very good until the last 10 minutes - but my worry would be how much that took out of their players.
Pep Guardiola's side were in total control throughout, and the great thing about them is that they don't have to be that good defensively because they keep hold of the ball so well.
If the game goes the way I would expect, with Manchester City dominating possession, then I would be surprised if Cardiff keep it competitive because of how much they gave on Sunday.
This game is not make or break for the Bluebirds, but their following two fixtures could be - at Burnley on Saturday, 13 April and then at Brighton on Tuesday, 16 April.
Those four days will be the crossroads moment for their season, and it does not help that their away form has been so poor - they have taken only eight points from a possible 42 on the road so far.
Lawro's prediction: 4-0
Taka's prediction: Manchester City should win this game very comfortably, and I think there will be a few goals. 4-0
Taka on City: A lot of people seem to be supporting Liverpool but I think City will win the Premier League. They have got such a good depth to their squad. Even when Guardiola makes lots of changes, their B team is as good as their A team

Manchester City will be back on top of the Premier League after this game!
Cardiff didn't have much luck the other day but one linesman not seeing an offside is not the reason they are third bottom after 32 games of the season. There's a lot more to it than that. They were unfortunate, but it's swings and roundabouts. Who would've thought Liverpool would have got lucky with a World Cup winning goalkeeper dropping the ball like that?
I don't see anything but a Manchester City win here. It's just a question of how many they win by. Victory will then put the pressure back on Liverpool, who take on Southampton on Friday night Football.
PAUL PREDICTS: 4-0
