Premier League predictions: Lawro v rapper & Chelsea fan ArrDee

Chelsea play Newcastle on Sunday in the Blues' first home game since their Russian owner Roman Abramovich had his assets frozen and his attempt to sell the club was halted.

«The Chelsea players will get a really good backing from their fans at Stamford Bridge,» said BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson. «But like everyone else, they don't really know what is going to happen to the club next.

»It's hard to know what kind of performance to expect, because everyone's future is now so uncertain."

Lawro is making predictions for all 380 top-flight matches this season, against a variety of guests.

This week's guest israpper and Chelsea fan ArrDee.

ArrDee's latest single, Come And Go, was released earlier this month and the 19-year-old's debut 11-track mixtape, Pier Pressure, is out on 18 March.

ArrDee was born in Brighton and grew up a Manchester United fan — well, kind of — but it was Chelsea who won him over when a schoolfriend sparked his interest in football.

«It's funny because my old man always gives me stick about this — he has always been United through and through,» Arrdee told BBC Sport.

«There are photos of me as a baby wearing United shirts but I never really followed them because I wasn't really into football until I got bit older.

»Then I started watching a lot of Chelsea games because I was always around my mate's house and his whole family supported them. It just kind of happened naturally!"

ArrDee has met a few Blues players and admits he was starstruck when the Chelsea squad walked into the rooftop bar where he was having a meal, after their Champions League win over Juventus last year.

«Obviously the industry I'm in is music so I've met top, top tier UK rappers like Fredo and Stormzy and all these people,» he explained.
