It's interesting that they fancy Southampton and West Ham to stay up but have the championship winners as the team most likely to finish rock bottom. I think Reading have a few quid to spend this close season as well.

I tip Swansea, Southampton a and Baggies for the drop.

[QBVILLA]

This season is a tough one to call with regards to relegation. I'm going for Swansea,Wigan and Southampton. I think that both Stoke and Albion will have a struggle as well.

[itbrvilla]

I think Norwich will be near the bottom but have a decent manager.

[johnny from donny]

Wigan West Ham & QPR are my bets to be relegated, think we'll be about 9th. Can't see liverpool being as high as 6th

[King of the Nørth]

Yeah very tough to call before a ball has been kicked but do fancy 2 out of 3 promoted sides to stay up. Just of interest would fans be happy with an 11th placed finish?

[Pete3206]

Yes

As longs as its not 6 points off relegation.  We really need to push on and be aiming for at least 50 points IMO.

Too soon for this kind of prediction. Need to see all the ins & outs. If Everton lose Fellaini & Baines then they'll finish lower than that and the same with plenty of teams, I can see Spurs falling out of the top pack if they lose Modric & Bale.

Although I agree it's too soon to judge, last season all three promoted teams stayed up, which is so unlikely (2nd time since Sky invented football?) that you can't imagine it happening again.  I think two will go straight back down with West Ham staying up - we may not like it, but Fat Sam knows how to keep teams in the PL!  WBA or Wigan to go down with them, with my preference/prediction being Wigan.

[cdbearsfan]

There's no teams starting with 'B' left so it will have to be three W's for the drop.

[pestria]

Same old same old ...

Top 5 are clearly a cut above.

The challenge for us will be to rejoin the best of the rest: Newcastle, Liverpool, Everton, Fulham and Sunderland.  I wonder if Newcastel will struggle to keep up with last year's standard.

Then there's the bottom group of the usual suspects;  Albion were kind of getting into the the comfortable middle group but with a new manager they may get sucked back down.

Relegation candidates clearly coming from the promoted group plus Swansea and Norwich for me.

No shit Sherlock I hear you all say......

[UK Redsox]

Mid-table mediocrity. You gotsta love it

Our imminent takeover by QIA clearly hasn't been factored into this...
