1. Man City - Still the team to beat, and my tip to win the Champions League as well. They've got mega rich owners, a top manager and players to boot. Unstoppable.
2. Liverpool - The only team capable of challenging City for the title, getting 96 points and still not winning the title is incredible. Have loads of firepower and a good defense and midfield as well.
3. Tottenham - Same as the last few years, just not quite consistent enough to win PL. But, unfortunately, they are better than we are ATM. Like Liverpool, have plenty of goals in them, but not as good in defense or midfield.
4. Chelsea - Hazard will be impossible to replace, Pulisic and the young player (whichever ones Frank gives an opportunity to) step up to the plate.
5. Man United - Just a bunch of individuals rather than a team. Pogba is a joke, Wan Bissaka isn't what he is cracked up to be and Harry Maguire is just a fat version of Rio Ferdinand. The manager isn't great either.
6. Arsenal - Like Man United, just a bunch of individuals either than a team. The keeper isn't particularly great, the midfield is unbalanced and their defense is a disaster waiting to happen. Their forwards are good though, but they can't keep carrying the team.
7. Everton - Will have their ups and downs, but with the right signings and a bit more consistency can be the best of the rest outside the top six.
8. Wolves - Neat and tidy side, but lack a bit of firepower at times, and being in the Europa league might hinder rather than help their chances of improving on last years' fine effort
9. C Palace - Depends whether they can keep Zaha, but with Roy Hodgson at the helm, they are in safe hands.
10. Leicester - Not sure what to make of them. The one worry for them is Jamie Vardy isn't getting any younger, and not exactly watertight at the back either. Lots of creativity in the team though.
11. West Ham - Same old, same old. Arnoutovic is no great loss though, he's more trouble than he's worth Should have no problems about a relegation battle.
12. Watford - Form faded badly at the end of lat season, and that cup final hammering by Man City will still be fresh in the mind. Mind you, they're manger Javi Gracia is a shrewd operator and will keep them afloat for another season at least. Only worry is Troy Deeney is the wrong side of 30, how many more seasons will they get out of him?
13. Bournemouth - Full of goals in attack, but also full of holes at the back. For me, it's the former category that will be the reason they survive once again, they play good football unlike several other teams I could mention.
14. Norwich - For me, the best equipped of the promoted teams to survive. Play fearless attacking football, if Teemu Pukki can score 15 goals or more, they'll be fine. A bit leaky at the back though.
15. Southampton - Ralph Hassenhutl did well to keep them up last season, he made them better organized at the back but they struggled to score goals. Danny Ings was too injury prone, Shane Long is a willing worker but not a good finisher, and Charlie Austin has been a huge flop thus far. They will be hoping Che Adams can remedy the chronic lack of goals,
16. Burnley - Would love it if they went down, horrible team and manager to boot. But will probably stay up again, with their cynical tactics. Lack of goals again could be the problem, Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood don't score too many goals.
17. Newcastle - The fat one has gone, but the other fat one (Mike Ashley) is still there, so that means more doom and gloom for the Geordie faithful. Whatever you think of Steve Bruce, he's in a lose-lose situation. Both strikers Rondon and Perez have gone, and be given buttons and beads as cash to replace them. The only reason I feel they'll survive is there are 3 worse teams than them.
18. Brighton - The decision to sack Chris Hughton will come back to bite them on the backside. OK, they slid down the table towards the end of last season, but Graham Potter as Hughton's replacement? What did he do at Swansea that was so great I ask? If you gave me a choice between Hughton or Potter to manage my team, I would pick Hughton every time. Glen Murray can't go on forever, and there is a lack of creativity in the team as well. They're going down.
19. Aston Villa - A welcome return to the PL, but Jack Grealish apart, none of their players are top flight standard. A long, hard season beckons., and it will end in relegation.
20. Sheff Utd - Chris Wilder has worked miracles there, and he'll have to work another one if the Blades are to survive in the ruthless world of the Premiership. Unfortunately, I think they will come up well short.
Predictions:
1. Man City
2. Liverpool
3. Tottenham
4. ManUtd
5. Arsenal
6. Chelsea
