Despite Liverpool’s big spending, we see the title as another two horse race between Man Utd and Chelsea. Liverpool may push their rivals a little closer this season, but we think it’ll take too long for Benitez’s men to gel.
Tottenham have also spent big this summer, and with Arsenal losing their French superstar, we can see Spurs taking 4th place.
Newcastle look a good bet for the top 6, and we expect Everton to be there or thereabouts too.
Down at the bottom, the promoted three could all find it difficult and we suspect that Roy Keane’s inexperience and questionable signings (Michael Chopra) could lead to Sunderland making a quick return to the Championship.
It’s not all about the promoted three though. Wigan only narrowly avoided relegation last year and we expect Reading’s honeymoon period to be over too.
