BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton takes on singer and Arsenal fan Sam Tompkins to make predictions for this weekend's FA Cup semi-final ties and Premier League games.
Cole Palmer has been Chelsea's standout performer this season - can he lift them again to sink former club Manchester City in Saturday's FA Cup semi-final?
Tompkins' cover of To The Moon went viral on TikTok in 2022, the same year his debut EP Who Do You Pray To? reached number seven in the UK album charts"I can't really put my finger on the moment I started supporting them, because it's more that it was always around me," he told BBC Sport. "It was impossible to live up to that, and it gave me such an unrealistic idea of what the Premier League is like - but I would not trade my fan journey with anyone.
Sam is enjoying watching the Gunners challenging for the top honours again after a few lean years, and feels there is more to come from Arteta's side, whether they win the Premier League this season or not. "We are a young team too. Declan Rice has transformed us in the middle of the park and the way the ball is fed through. He makes you feel so confident as a fan, and he is going to be so important for us for the next few years.
However, I cannot help thinking there have been a few missed opportunities for the Hatters in recent weeks, and they should be in a much stronger position. Both of these teams have had a very similar habit in recent weeks of shooting themselves in the foot.last week. Kompany took James Trafford out of the team because of his form, or lack of it, but whoever he picks in goal, they keep costing Burnley points.The Blades will give everything but Burnley will have a bit too much quality for them, and I'm afraid that's been the story of Sheffield United's season.This is probably Sheffield United's biggest game of the season.
On the pitch, Chelsea have shown a bit more consistency in the second half of the season with an eight-game unbeaten run in the league that has put them in the race for sixth place. I'd put Arsenal's Champions League defeat down to their failure to win the first leg at Emirates Stadium, and it would have been a different story if Bukayo Saka hadn't dived when he was through on goal late on in that game.
Nottingham Forest are hardly in great form either, with one win in nine games, so the safest thing here would be to go for a draw. I don't think it is a huge coincidence that the Eagles put in that performance when they had Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise in the team together. They carry much more of a threat with both of them fit, and it changes my whole way of thinking when I am predicting Palace games.
United should be beating Coventry comfortably but they have lacked consistency all season and I don't have faith in them to suddenly find it now.
