Match of the Day returns to BBC One this evening as the first round of Premier League 2016/17 fixtures got underway.
Host Gary Lineker will present tonight’s show in his underwear after saying on Twitter he would do so if his team Leicester City won the Premier League.
“It’s been quite fun,” Gary told the BBC in May.
“I did the tweet knowing categorically that there was zero chance of Leicester continuing on the line they were going to win the league. I was spectacularly wrong, but I’m so glad I was.”

- Crystal Palace v West Bromwich Albion; 6. Middlesbrough v Stoke City; 7. Southampton v Watford.
Gary will be joined live on BBC One and BBC One HD from 10.30pm by Alan Shearer and Ian Wright.
