Just for banter:

 

1. Man City

2. Chelsea

3. Liverpool

4. Man United

5. Spurs

6. Arsenal

7. Everton

8. Leicester

9. West Ham

10. Southampton

11. Crystal Palace

12. Newcastle

13. West Brom

14. Swansea

15. Bournemouth

16. Watford

17. Huddersfield

18. Stoke

19. Brighton

20. Burnley

That's a decent effort. I'd probably have Stoke staying up and Huddersfield going down. I think Everton will be seventh and between about 8th-14th it's much of a muchness.

 

The top six is the intriguing part. Most people would identify the same six teams but the order is the difficult part. Since Arsenal won't have Champions League football will they give the league a fair go? Man City seem a good shout for the title, and I'd take finishing ahead of Man Utd and getting guaranteed CL football.

 

I want to tip us a bit higher, but not on the basis of the current signings!

With our current squad i would give us a 3-1 chance of top 4. We have some class players and will get loads of goals. However,there are so many frailties that are glaringly obvious. The squad isn't big enough to compete and we will struggle with injuries.

 

If we lose coutinho,i think we will come 7th.

 

If we keep phil and get virgil or a competent cb,i think we get top 4 and with everything falling into place,we could even challenge for the title.

Pretty close for the top Id say. I think spurs will struggle to get 5th due to not strengthening at all this window (course they could later in the window but equally, there's talk barcelona will try for dele as well) so Id put arsenal 5th and spurs 6th.

 

Bottom 3 Id have as 18, watford, 19, brighton, 20 Huddersfield.

We won't finish 3rd. Our defence will cost us too many times. We will doubtless shit the bed on occasions as well, losing against crap sides that the rest of the top 6 have hammered.

 

5th.

Spurs have a lot of work to do if they're not going to fall out of the top four.

 

Few injuries and with added champions league football, they'll struggle.

 

Levy doesn't do the tight Jewish stereotype any favours. Though the new stadium probably means they cant afford too invest much right now.

Interesting that you also think Stoke will be in the relegation mix as they're 7/1 in a couple of places

I don't think their squad's that bad to be honest, a bit workmanlike if you will, but they're a side capable of going on poor runs under Hughes and I reckon this season it might just put them into too much of a tailspin to recover. They'll miss Arnautovic too.
