I don't think there will be much change towards the top of the table compared to last season but I can not see anything other than City retaining the title and I don't think it will even be close this time, Arsenal have made some really good and smart signings and I think this could make the difference for getting the last Champions League place. Everton will surely not be as bad as they were last season, I would back Nottingham Forest to stay up but they will be the only newly promoted team to survive relegation imo. Fulham will take their annual trip up and down the escalator between the Premier League and The Championship.

The wildest prediction I've got here is Southampton getting relegated which could easily not come to pass but they're starting to be like teams such as Wigan, Sunderland and most recently Burnley in the past who get close to the barrier of relegation numerous times without actually falling underneath it, eventually those teams do get what is coming to them and this might be the season for Southampton which is also why I've gone for Ralph Hasenhüttl to get sacked first.

I honestly think it is a coins toss between Liverpool and City at the start of the season at least. I'm going Liverpool off the fact of City have gone through a lot of change and I am not sure how clever selling their squad depth is. I know the transfer window is still open, but it's a really small squad for a mad season. The key will be to not let City run away and build a lead pre-World Cup. Where Liverpool might catch them out is a good deal of their spine won't even be going to the World Cup (Salah, Diaz, Robertson, Thiago, Matip, Keita). Going to be an odd season.

I think Manchester United will be better and I do think the 3rd to 6th is wide open. I've gone for Tuchel to be sacked first as Chelsea have new owners and I think they might start the slowest out of all the top teams. Plus while I like the Sterling signing, I am not sure he is the man to replace Lukaku in their system. Defensively they are way, way weaker than last season too.

Down the bottom, at this stage I think Forest will start poorly but grow in to the season. Bournemouth will try and play low block football but I just can't see them pulling off a Brentford and Fulham will try and be too cutesy with football and probably pick up some hammerings. I actually think Everton will really struggle again, they've probably the worst manager in the league and sold their best player last season. The signings they've made so far this season leave a lot to be desired too. Think they are in real danger and my tip to go down.

Tuchel is a great shout for first sacking and not one many would consider.

Yeah, I think if they have a bad start then he could be toast. He burns out at clubs around this time too, and while I like the Kouliabilty signing, they've missed out on Kounde and I'm just not sure they have strengthened enough.

I Can't see City & Liverpool not dominating again. I think Haaland & Nunez will both do well and score 15-20 in the league but I can't see Haaland staying fit all season. It's hard to say when there's still signings to be made in this window but while they've all improved, neither of Spurs/Arsenal/United really feel like top 4 to me but I'll go with United because they were hopeless last year and were still in always in touching distance of top 4 until they completely imploded.

My 2nd pick for manager to be sacked is Brendan Rogers.

I like Aribo as a signing but Southampton feel like they're due a relegation now. Two 9-0 defeats in the past 3 seasons and they always seem to have long spells where they struggle to win. I kinda feel like Fulham will actually stay up this season but it's hard to say who will go down instead.

1. Liverpool [think they just have the edge over City at the moment and to prevent them winning 3 in a row once again]
2. City [sold some key squad players and don't think Haaland will hit the ground running, still a chasm back to 3rd]
3. Spurs [seem the most settled of the rest of the big 6 and Conte has a very good league record]
4. Chelsea [seem somewhat in disarray but since it's Chelsea they always get their act together in time to finish top 4]
5. Man United [surely can't be worse than last season but a lot depends on the Ronaldo situation]
6. Arsenal [on paper look good and made shrewd signings however they now have to contend with european football again]
7. Newcastle [form team at the end of last season and no european football, a few more singings in January and 7th should be theirs]
8. West Ham [another good season but with that pesky conference league causing a few hangover Sundays]
9. Leicester [pretty boring season I expect by their standards, need to replace Vardy's goals who won't go on forever]
10. Palace [another impressive season I reckon under Viera, they still have a good array of attacking players despite losing Gallagher]
11. Villa [solid and steady first full season under Stevie G, late push for top half]
12. Brighton [a little comedown on the highs of last season but comfortably clear of danger]
13. Wolves [they had a rough second half of last season but expecting big things from Neto & Podence to nick the odd game]
14. Everton [could be a risk placing them this high tbh but I can't see them being as bad, not that 14th is anything to shout about anyway]
15. Leeds [another relegation scrap for them, Marsch will be binned and they'll bring in a serial relegation dogfighter to steer them from danger]
16. Forest [they could definitely finish higher but they need all their new signings to instantly click, should have enough to survive either way]
17. Brentford [the ol' second season syndrome which has been evident many seasons now, they've lost Eriksen too who basically saved them last season]
18. Southampton [in agreement with above that they've been sleepwalking towards relegation for a few seasons now and this is one season too many]
19. Fulham [Silva first to get sacked I think but they'll bring in someone even worse and will be far too overly reliant on Mitrovic]
20. Bournemouth [Parker is an overrated manager and Solanke is shite, they could get cut adrift from the rest]

Points total for the champions: 95
Top scorer: Salah
Player of the year: Salah
First manager to get sacked: Marco Silva

As a bonus I'm also gonna say all of these managers will get sacked/replaced during the season: Silva, Parker, Hassenhuttl, Frank, Marsch, Lampard, Lage, Rodgers & Tuchel.

What I've noticed is that 9th place seems to be the "over-achievers" position. In some of the last few seasons the team that has finished there wouldn't have been expected to be there before the season started. That will be something to watch out for at the end of the season to see if that continues.

2012/13: Swansea
2016/17: Bournemouth
2019/20: Sheffield United
2020/21: Leeds
2021/22: Brighton

In 2013/14, 2014/15 & 2015/16: Stoke had 3 9th place finishes in a row which probably might have been expected by the 2nd or 3rd season but thinking about it in the context of now it seems strange how consistent they were.

I'm laughing at the fact I predicted 9 managers to get sacked this season (1 down, 8 to go) and Gerrard wasn't one of them!

Second update and another 3 ticked off. Somehow can't see any of the remaining 3 being sacked but can't 100% rule out Rodgers just yet.
