It would be quite remarkable for them to turn around such a big points tally from last season especially whilst trying to fit in so many new players. They definetly have the best squad outside the big two though hence why I have them third :ayatollah:

I'll be doing a few outsider bets.


Spurs to finish in the top four looks very enticing. They had the 4th most points from the time Mourinho was appointed. They also had plenty of injuries. With a fully fit squad, they'll be in contention to get 4th.

My longshot for top four would be

1. Manchester City
2. Chelsea
3. Manchester United
4. Spurs


Like I say a complete longshot. But I think Liverpool will struggle a lot this season. Nearly impossible for them to carry on what they've done the last two seasons - they're not robots. The fact Man Utd and Chelsea have squad depth will be enough to get them top four in my view due to there being a bigger fixture backlog than usual.

Chelsea or Man Utd won't win the league, purely because neither of them have a good enough manager.


West Ham to get relegated also wouldn't surprise me. A lot trouble bubbling under the surface at that club. When it all comes to a head, it won't be pretty.

Should point out that these selections are purely from a betting perspective, and where there is value.

Very little value on Man City to win the league at 4/5, Liverpool to win the league at 9/4, Chelsea to finish in the top four at 1/2 or Fulham to be relegated at 10/11 - not unless you play very high stakes.
