The odds for Jeff Stelling's replacement at Sky Sports have been revealed and there's an overwhelming favourite.

Stelling announced he will leave Sky Sports' flagship Soccer Saturday during last weekend's show in an emotional farewell.

Speaking ahead of the 3pm kick-offs, he said: "I’ve been at Sky for more than 30 years and loved every moment of my time as part of the Soccer Saturday team.

"It is now the right time to move on and give Sky Sports viewers a break from my relentless rants, bad gags and over the top celebrations of Hartlepool United goals.

BBC's Dan Walker, BT Sport's Jake Humphrey, Alex Scott and Match of the Day host Gary Lineker have also been given odds to replace Stelling.
