Well, what do you think?
Other than the 3 teams promoted, I'd have to say Newcastle, Villa and Stoke stand out quite a but for me.
Newcastle seem to be in meltdown atm; if they don't improve then I could see Pardew taking them down. Villa will also need to strengthen if Benteke does get his move. Then you have Stoke, who began to run out of ideas as last season went on. Couple that with Mark Hughes who has a tragic record, then they could be in trouble.
I had Norwich down originally, but they've spent big money on some cracking players so far.

If last season is anything to go by all teams outside of the top 7. Even the jacks finishing 9th only had 46 pts, so for them, and any team, below turn 2 wins into defeats and they would be right on the cusp of trouble.
We are in for a long, hard season

If villa keep benteke they will be fine. Newcastle and Sunderland are basket cases. Newcastle jave plenty of quality but things are in a mess off thr field. Sunderland were rubbish last season pdc jas been busy bit think they could be in trouble. 1 Other to look at is Fulham. Cant see Norwich, wba, or us being in trouble. Then its anybodies guess with the 3 promoted sides

Mark Hughes does not have a tragic record.

I think Fulham have been an accident waiting to happen for years.
Their transfer dealings seem to consist of selling any good players in their prime and replacing them with top players on the way down. Looking at their team this year the spine of it are all in their 30s. It's a injury crisis waiting to happen.

Fair assumption 1 out of the 3 promoted teams always surprise a few, Stoke could also be in a dog fight with Mark Hughes at the helm too.
