Chris Sutton will take over as Premier League predictions expert for the BBC after Liverpool legend and pundit Mark Lawrenson stepped down at the end of last season.
The ex-Red started the weekly feature over 20 years ago and he made more than 8,000 predictions in that time. He also welcomed hundreds of celebrity guests over the years.
Now, pundit Chris Sutton will take the reigns. The former Chelsea, Birmingham City and Aston Villa forward has worked as a pundit for BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sport for time time.

"Lawro has left some huge shoes to fill," Sutton told the BBC. "I'm pretty confident, but it's a tough task - and if I was that good at making predictions, I would be a millionaire by now."
The Premier League campaign gets underway this weekend, with the opening fixture seeing Crystal Palace host Arsenal on Friday night. Liverpool will travel to face Fulham on Saturday, whereas West Ham welcome current Champions Man City.
Sutton has already shared his predictions for gameweek one and he expects Jurgen Klopp 's side to comfortably beat league newcomers Fulham 3-0. He's also predicted a City win and says they'll overcome the Hammers 3-0.
Manchester United host Brighton at Old Trafford in their first game on Sunday, but Sutton anticipates a disappointing start to the campaign for Erik ten Hag's side with a 1-1 draw against the Seagulls.
