Premier League predictions: Lawro v comedy actor Danny John-Jules


His opponent for the Boxing Day Premier League matches is actor and comedian Danny John-Jules, star of detective comedy-drama Death in Paradise, which returns to the BBC in January.
Danny, who is also well known for playing The Cat in sci-fi comedy series Red Dwarf, is a Chelsea fan whose hero when he was growing up was Blues goalkeeper Peter Bonetti, also known as 'The Cat'.
"I was amazed when I got a job on the telly playing The Cat," John-Jules said. "What more could I ask for?
"I have been told that there was another goalkeeper called 'The Cat', called Bert Williams, who used to to play for Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 1940s and 1950s. So I have got two namesake footballers!"
Danny says he does not get recognised as The Cat when he goes to watch games at Stamford Bridge, adding: "I think I would have a bit of a problem if I went to games dressed as that crazy wig-wearing, make-up wearing, cuban-heel wearing, PVC jump-suit wearing character.

"Mind you they do pink Chelsea scarves now so I might be able to find something in the club shop to suit his character."
John-Jules backs the Blues to beat high-flying Liverpool on Saturday, but also thinks their title rivals Manchester City and Arsenal will win, against Crystal Palace and Newcastle respectively.
You can see all of his predictions on Football Focus at 12:00 GMT on Saturday on BBC One and the BBC Sport website (in the UK).
