Read the full script to see what happened when BT Sport gave 'big data' the unenviable task of comprehensively plotting out the events of what promises to be another rollercoaster football season.

The new football season is here and excitement levels are building across the world for what lies ahead in the Premier League, Champions League and Europa League over the coming nine months.

As the anticipation ramps up to fever pitch, BT Sport decided to set the data experts at Google Cloud, Opta and Squawka a devilishly difficult task: predicting exactly how those three competitions will play out between now and May 2020.

An unprecedented experiment with cutting-edge 'machine learning' artificial intelligence and statistical analysis followed. The result is The Script - a blow-by-blow account of the the 2019/20 campaign.

You can now read the outcome of this audacious project in full below.

Or if you'd prefer to browse selected sections rather than the whole thing, simply head to the home of The Script, where you'll find all the main acts of The Script in shorter formats.
