This week Lawro takes on actors Don Warrington and Kris Marshall, stars of detective comedy-drama Death in Paradise.
Warrington, who plays police commissioner Selwyn Patterson in the Guadeloupe-based show, is also hoping for a Manchester United win against Southampton. "My heroes growing up were Bobby Charlton, Denis Law and George Best," Warrington told BBC Sport. "But Best was my favourite. He was just a fantastic player."
Meanwhile, Marshall, who plays Detective Inspector Humphrey Goodman, is an Aston Villa fan who grew up idolising Gary Shaw and the rest of their 1982 European Cup-winning team, but has rather less faith in the current side.
"It is much the same as the last couple of seasons - we can't score," Marshall explained. "We don't tend to concede too many but we can't score either. That means we will always be struggling and will probably finish 15th or 16th again."

Everton are on a poor run of one win in their last 10 games and clearly all is not well with them right now.
People are pointing out their defensive problems but I think there are issues in every area of the team.
Roberto Martinez's Everton side were the only Premier League side to lose all four of their festive fixtures
This is the time when you are judged as a manager - when your players have lost form and you are losing game after game.
Toffees boss Roberto Martinez is coming under pressure and he is not helping himself by insisting everything is fine.
Maybe it is not his style, but he needs to give one or two players the rocket to get them going and to try to change things.
Lawro on Man City's bid for Bony
"It looks like Swansea striker Wilfried Bony is heading for Manchester City and I think he would be an excellent signing for them - I was impressed with how quickly he settled in at the Swans and he has gone from strength to strength in the Premier League since then. He will get more chances when he is playing for the champions and he must be great to play with because you can leave him up front on his own and know he will occupy lots of defenders."
Some of Everton's fans did not seem too displeased when City won at Goodison Park at the end of last season, to help them pip Liverpool to the title.
I think it's safe to say that was a one-off - that will not be happening again this weekend, although I think the outcome will be the same.
Lawro's prediction: 1-2
Kris & Don's prediction: 0-3

Everton are struggling, aren’t they? I can’t believe what has happened to them. They got out of jail the other night to force a replay with the last kick of the game against West Ham and I just think City will have too much for them.
Everton need a goalkeeper, according to Roberto Martinez, following Tim Howard’s injury, and I just wonder how that makes Joel Robles feel. That doesn’t make him feel too clever and it doesn’t breathe faith into the second-choice stopper so there’s a problem there.
Pellegrini’s side have been on an unbelievable run, bar that disastrous result against Burnley, and they’ll win again here. Yaya Toure’s strike against Sunderland was incredible and it will be interesting to see how they cope without him while he’s away at the Africa Cup of Nations.
PAUL PREDICTS: 1-2
