The weekend's Premier League action culminates with Leicester and West Brom on Monday Night Football and the Foxes have a 46 per cent chance of landing the spoils.

How does it work?

The Sky Sports predictor is based on a system called Elo, originally set up to rate chess players. It takes into account form, who your team still has left to play, and how well a team has done in previous seasons.

The most probable outcome from this weekend's fixtures is a Tottenham victory over Bournemouth at Wembley on Saturday. The Londoners have a 83 per cent chance of winning, although they have yet to win in the Premier League at their new temporary home.
