Summertime is here and that can only mean one thing - the return of Sports Saturday.
Ed Chamberlin will be here with a panel of top guests to guide you through the big sporting events of the summer every Saturday on Sky Sports News.
We've got a stellar line-up of guests joining us in the studio for the first show of the new series, including former England manager Steve McClaren.
McClaren will be looking ahead to the final day of the Premier League season as well as filling us in on what he's been up to since that wet and miserable night at Wembley last October.
He'll be joined in the studio by former Derby County manager Billy Davies, who should be the perfect man to guide us through the drama of the play-offs.
Crystal Palace face Bristol City at lunchtime with both sides desperate to reach the Premier League - something Davies knows all about after taking Derby up through the play-offs last season.
It's also a massive day in the Guinness Premiership as we get set to learn which teams will be in the end-of-season play-offs. England World Cup winner Lewis Moody will be with us to share his thoughts on the action.
And if cricket's your game, then former England batsman Chris Adams will also be in the studio to guide us through the day's domestic cricket action and to look ahead to the first Test between England and New Zealand.
We'll have updates and breaking news from all the key sporting fixtures of the afternoon and we'll make sure you know what's going on before anybody else.
So join us for Sports Saturday, 12noon, Sky Sports News.
