BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.
Lawro's opponent for this weekend's Premier League fixtures is England rugby union star George Ford.
The Bath fly-half is a Chelsea fan who will not be able to watch much of their clash with Tottenham in Sunday's Capital One Cup final because he is playing for England in their Six Nations game against Ireland in Dublin on the same day.
Ford is confident that Chelsea will beat Spurs at Wembley on Sunday to win their first trophy of the season and thinks they will collect more silverware very soon. "We have been going well - playing some really good football and scoring some really nice goals," he told BBC Sport.
"I've enjoyed watching us and I think we will have a really strong finish to the season.
"Will we win the Premier League? Yes I think so. The Champions League? I'm not sure.
"But I would back us to get the result we need at Stamford Bridge against Paris St-Germain to reach the quarter-finals and, once we are there, anything can happen."
When he was asked his prediction for the Capital one cup final he said "It is always a bit tougher when it is a derby but Chelsea have the quality to win, with Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas getting the goals. I think Costa would do all right in a rugby game actually - he is very physical and scores a lot of goals, and he is obviously very competitive as well."
He predicted that Chelsea will win 2-1
