A new football special goes on sale in the run-up to the new Premiership season.

BBC Match of the Day Guide to the Premiership 2004/05 will accompany television and radio coverage as the Premiership returns to the BBC.

The magazine has a line-up of BBC sports presenters, including Gary Whelan, Alan Hansen and Mark Lawrenson.

It also features a 40-page teambyteam guide to all 20 premiership clubs with Gary Lineker’s predictions for each.

Publisher at BBC Magazines, Adam Waddell, said: “Our new Premiership title follows hot on the heels of the successful BBC Match of the Day Euro 2004 magazine we published earlier this year and we’re expecting a huge amount of interest from football fans and readers.”

At £3.95, the 132-page magazine has a print run of 80,000. It will go on sale on 4 August in time for the Premier League kick-off on 14 August.
