Liverpool, City, Arsenal, Chelsea

Easy top 4

United - have added goals, will be much better than last season when they gave up

After those I think there is a group of teams

Villa - strong 11 but not a great squad, could be good, could fall off with a few injuries, depends who they add / lose.
Spurs - can thomas frank turn em round or will spurs be spurs
Newcastle - heading for a disaster season I think - if Isak does go, I think they could easily collapse with a few bad results. I'd take our squad over theirs, which is mad considering they are in the CL. their defence is a bit shit, and without isak, their forward line aint great. I'm not convinced Wissa is the answer
Forest - no chance they are as good as last year, fell off towards the end
Palace - depends who they lose in the next few weeks, Eze and Guehi vital to them

then I think its
Everton
brighton
fulham
Bournemouth
west ham

I think we are top of this group (I think we've had better summers than the other 4) and we could sneak into the group above, as I think Newcastle, Forest and Palace arent convincing.

So if EVERYTHING went our way with us doing well and others tailing off, we could sneak around 8th or 9th

But I think 10th / 11th more likely

Brentford
Wolves
Leeds
Burnley
Sunderland

seem a logical bottom 5

As ever opening few weeks matter, last few seasons we seem to always have 3 or 4 points at most after 5 games
Need to change that big time.

Brighton got 61pts for 8th last season
I can see us maybe getting around 56pts 10pts more than last year, which would be 9th ish - I am assuming we get a good RW
