A new season, and a new challenge for BBC Sport's prediction expert Chris Sutton.
Sutton faced off against a guest for each of the 38 game weeks in 2023-24 and triumphed 21-10 (with seven draws) to secure his second predictions title in a row.
In the first week of the new season, his opponent is The Courteeners frontman Liam Fray.
The pair have both given their prediction for Arsenal v Wolves on Saturday.
Sutton's prediction: 2-0
Many people are tipping Arsenal to win the Premier League and in some ways I understand why, but their title hopes really come down to what Manchester City do, and if they dip or not.
Mikel Arteta's side can not do much more than last season, when they took the title race to the final day, but they really need to start well. I think they will.
Wolves were another team who faded badly in the final few weeks of last season but their manager, Gary O'Neil, still exceeded expectations after taking charge only days before it started.
He has got some work to do on his squad because they still need to replace Pedro Neto and Max Kilman, who both left in the summer, and this is a tough game for them to kick off with.
Liam's prediction: 2-1
A few people seem to think it is going to be Arsenal's year this year, but I can never see past Manchester City.
Like City, Arsenal might be missing a few players who are just back in training after the Euros but they should win this one.

And the answer is Ruben Neves, star of the Championship title-winning side and then racking up 177 games in England's top flight before leaving in 2023.
He scored 21 league goals and made nine assists in five Premier League seasons at Molineux.

Wolves boss Gary O'Neil has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Arsenal (kick-off 15:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
On being ready for the new season: "We've had a really good pre-season, the boys are in very good spirits with an understanding of what we are trying to do. Matheus Cunha is back fit so he's back with the group. Nelson [Semedo] is missing, obviously with his red card of the last game of last season. We are in a good spot and ready to go to give a good account of ourselves."
On Cunha's fitness: "He's fine and raring to go. He's worked really hard to get back as quickly as he has. He's feeling very, very good. He's had a good week of work, he's trained every day on the grass. I have no concerns around him and it's a big boost for us."
O'Neil spoke about the new four-year contract he signed last week: "The new contract and the commitment to the club was a no-brainer for me. I love being here and I've loved every moment of my year here. I'm looking forward to doing the best I can with everything that we have here."
Speaking about Wolves' summer transfer business, O'Neil said: "We knew fairly early that Max [Kilman] and Pedro [Neto] would leave in this window. We've worked really hard in identifying what happens from there, and that's currently being worked on. As far as I'm aware, things are still moving forward, we are doing our best to enhance what we already have."
He continued: "My focus is solely on the players that I have, building and working my socks off to get the most out of them and give them the best opportunity to show what they are. I have identified targets I think can help us and hopefully we can get deals done before the end of the window."
On playing probable title contenders Arsenal in their first match of the season: "They're a good side, they've had a good pre-season. They look equally as good, if not better than last year. These early fixtures can be misleading but it's a tough fixture nevertheless."
He added: "You go to the Emirates, you know what to expect, it's going to be full throttle, they're going to be in your face, they're going to be desperate to go one step further than they did last season. They start with a home game for them that will be very important but from our side, I'm really looking forward to seeing what we can do, what problems we can cause them and how well we can cope with the issues they'll impose on us."

Our football news reporter Nick Mashiter says "there will be hope Wolves can keep the pace in the race for Europe this time", so we asked you to have your say on if it was a possibility this season.
Here are some of your comments:
Nathan: Always optimistic but Europe will be a stretch too far this season. Lots of new faces and losing Kilman and Neto will take its toll initially. Keep the squad fit, keep going under Gary O'Neil and next season we could be looking up the table again.
Tom: A top-half finish and a push for Europe should be the aim. We have a great manager and a talented squad of players. Gary brings a feeling to the club not seen since the days of Nuno. Out of darkness cometh light - let's believe and be positive for a great season to come.
Rob: No, I don't think Europe is realistic sadly. I think we need several windows of adding to the squad before we have the depth we need. We still seem light in defence, especially left-back where a lot rests on Ait-Nouri. We over burdened several players last season and we all know how that worked out.
Dan: Wolves are flying under the radar at the moment. They have a good squad and good manager. If they keep all key players, like Cunha, fit then European football is an optimistic but realistic target.
Who has made the most Premier League appearances for Wolves?

Wolves will hope to start the 2024-25 season showing the form that put them in the conversation for European competition for a large portion of last term.
Injuries - particularly in attacking areas - severely hampered them in their final 10 Premier League games, with only one win and five points to show for their efforts. They eventually finished 14th in the table.
If they are to start brightly this time around, they will have to do it the hard way - Opta suggests, external that Gary O'Neil's have the most difficult first 10 fixtures of any Premier League team.

Image source, PA MediaThe 18,000 fans who watched Wolves' toothless performance against Rayo Vallecano last weel probably left disappointed, although not as much as their manager.
Gary O'Neil rejected all the platitudes about it being a friendly: "I didn't enjoy today... my least favourite game so far..."
O'Neil did concede, with a grin, that he can be a little pessimistic: "My staff are keen for me not to see all the negatives. They're trying to remind me that it has been a good pre-season."
But it may take a good result in a real game to clear away any nerves. It also gave him a reason to point out his squad requires investment before the transfer window ends. This is not news.
The sales of Pedro Neto and Maximilian Kilman helped Wolves recoup a substantial amount this summer.
"We made £100m this summer - we made £100m last summer," said O'Neil. "That does provide its challenges to keep a team staying competitive, and as strong as it was when it was competing for Europe."
But the situation this time is different.
Last year, the aim was to recoup money in order to limbo under the profit and sustainability bar - and every penny counted. This time, O'Neil has stressed that the money needs to be wisely re-invested, and Wolves have already signed some promising, mostly young, players. This pleases him, but he needs more.
"We've signed a lot of young players - hopefully we can sign a few that can help us here and now," he said. I'm really open with the club. We do need some that are ready now."
These thoughts should not raise the same alarms for fans as the complaints aired by O'Neil's predecessor Julen Lopetegui. After all, O'Neil has just signed a new contract, so when he says "we're all really aligned with what we want to do here", the proof is in writing.
The immediate value of the Neto and Kilman deals may not so much be the cash amount actually booked, as the timing. Much better to take the money now than in the window's final, frantic hours. There is time to use it judiciously.
But it will need to be spent in a way that returns value, not just in balance sheets several years hence, but on the field.
Now.

Image source, Getty ImagesWolves have rejected Genoa's loan bid for striker Fabio Silva.
The Serie A club's offer included an option to buy but it was turned down, although Wolves are keen to sell the forward.
Silva has failed to make an impact since moving for a then-record deal worth £35m from Porto in 2020 and has scored just five goals in 72 appearances.
He has spent time on loan at Anderlecht, PSV Eindhoven and Rangers. His most recent Wolves appearance came in the 2-1 defeat at Sheffield United in November, where he conceded a stoppage-time penalty.
In the second half of last season at Ibrox. he scored six goals in 25 appearances after joining in January.
Genoa, managed by former Italy striker Alberto Gilardino, finished 11th in Serie A last term and are looking to replace Albert Gudmundsson, who is expected to join Fiorentina.
Image source, Getty ImagesArsenal have won each of their past six Premier League matches against Wolves, their joint-longest winning run against them in the competition.
Wolves have won just one of their past 13 league visits to Arsenal.
Our reporter Nick Mashiter will be covering Wolves up close this season.
Nick says: "Wolves under Gary O'Neil impressed last season, despite a wretched end to his first term in charge where they lost their FA Cup quarter-final to Coventry and dropped out of European contention.
"O'Neil ended his search for a number nine by signing Jorgen Strand Larsen from Celta Vigo and there will be hope that his squad can keep the pace in the race for Europe this time."
What do you think Wolves fans - is European football possible or a bridge too far?
It's that time of the year again - the annual act of foolishness in which I try to predict the outcome of the 2024-25 season for all 20 Premier League clubs.
Wolves - 15th
Gary O'Neil did a first-class job after taking over at Molineux in turbulent circumstances just before the start of last season, following the departure of Julen Lopetegui.
The same again would be more than good enough after a quiet summer of incomings at Wolves so far.
Max Kilman and Pedro Neto are big losses, although the latter was often missing because of injury, so Wolves will rely heavily on O'Neil, who has just been rewarded for his work with a new four-year contract.
Tommy Doyle has made his move from Manchester City permanent after good season on loan, but Wolves will need to reinvest some of the money raked in for Kilman and Neto to keep O'Neil's side away from trouble and make sure this forecast comes to fruition.
This prediction leans heavily on more new signings and O'Neil's ability, but I think Wolves can avoid danger - and surely they will get a better deal from VAR this season.
Image source, Getty ImagesNew Wolves captain Mario Lemina has been speaking to BBC Sport's Nick Mashiter about how he hopes to prove himself in the role this season.
The 30-year-old lost his father in December and is eager for the captaincy to show the person behind the player.
"He would be really happy and proud of me," Lemina said of his father. "He knows me better than anyone else - he knows I've never been a bad guy. He knows I've been pushing really hard to clean my name."
"I’m not going to say I’ve done everything the right way because I was young and really emotional, but I’ve never been a bad guy or had a bad attitude.
"If I was to talk about my career a lot of people would think I had a bad attitude. It's never really been like that."
Wolves open the new Premier League season against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium and the Gabonese midfielder has put in the hours to make a positive start to the season.
"I'm working really hard," he said. "I'm really positive, I put myself second and I try to support everyone. That's what the club and the gaffer likes,"
"I'm stronger mentally and as a player I feel more comfortable and more confident. The players understand what I'm talking about with my experiences."
He said that after his father's passing he was not the same player as before and that Wolves boss Gary O'Neil wants him to return to his previous levels.
"I feel I'm ready," Lemina added. "I feel stronger mentally. I want to progress, even if I'm 30, as a human being, a leader and a person.
"I want people to be happy, to work hard and get the best memories ever. Football goes quickly."

Wolves' stats from last season might look a bit underwhelming, but after crossing the magic 40-point mark in March, their numbers dropped significantly as they won just one of their final 10 games.
The side were ninth in the table and ranked in the top half for both goals scored and conceded when survival was secured, but only bottom club Sheffield United took fewer points after that - and only they and fellow relegated side Luton had a weaker goal difference.
Wolves also lost interest in hunting the ball in the run-in - winning it high up the pitch less often than any other side after previously ranking ninth.
Fans will hope they have got their appetite back ahead of the new season.
