Anyone out there that doesn’t have Arsenal repeating?

I know it likely won’t end up this way, but odds heavily favor some order of Chelsea, City, LFC, United wrapping up the top 5

All of those teams have new managers (Carrick obviously had a few months last year) so there’s likely to be some major growing pains for 2-3 of those teams. Personally I expect first half of the season to be rough for Liverpool but hopeful that things will get clicking and we can finish in a CL spot by the end of the year.


Normally this would be a huge opportunity for some typical mid table clubs to make a push for the CL spots, but there are so many question marks surrounding them as well


Villa is replacing a ton, but with Emery at the helm you’d think them and Spurs would be the most likely ones to finish top 5. Bournemouth is now without Iraola, Newcastle has lost a ton of their best players and have brand new manager. Brighton or Brentford could be sneaky


I think we see regression from Sunderland with them being in Europe. Feel like Leeds could be mid table and not sweating out relegation


Hull seems the most likely lock to go back down as I’m sure one of the other newbies will. Seems like people are picking Coventry to stay up if one of them does

Palace could be in for a long season with Glasner gone


What are some of yalls bold takes?

Feels weird reading something like that as an Arsenal fan. Nice, but weird.

The hope is that Leeds have a delightfully boring mid table season then start to push for the lower end European spots next season. They played like a mid table team from around December, but were also pretty lucky health wise in their thinnest positions. They’ve upgraded in a few spots and will hopefully be off to a better start.

Agree on Newcastle and Palace.

Newcastle will be battling relegation.

One of Coventry, Hull, Ipswich will stay up. Maybe even two.

City will miss out on Europe.

I think Arsenal win and United finish 2nd.


The others I really just don't know about.


And the three that came up will go down.


Coventry may be alright, but they start with Arsenal, then Hull, then City, then Brighton. I mean the only chance of points early on for them seems Hull, it is going to be tough.

Would anticipate arsenal comfortably for the title. Win it while still in April.

A Manchester next
Followed by Chelsea
Then the other Manchester
Followed up by a Liverpool team who went on a nosedive mid season but recovered and looks strong to end

A bunch of middlings


Leeds? My prediction? Pain (thanks Mr. T)

Spurs will float around giving their fans hopes one week and crushing them the next

There will be a surprise long time premier league team relegated. Plus two new minnows.

My favorite part of the EPL season is the beginning when you see a random arse team near the top of the table and you wonder if they can be the next Leicester. The end of the season is pretty boring to me.

Coventry, Newcastle, Hull go down.

Arsenal win, United second and closer than we think.

Sunderland 14th and Europa semifinalist.

This is the first time in a while I don't really see City pushing the title race too hard
Seems like a transitional year for us and Arsenal's to lose, just hoping City can comfortably finish top 4
