So with the Premier League starting imminently, I thought now would be the time to start a thread where everyone could predict how the final premier league table will turn out.

Thought I'd do the whole hog because why not, but if you like just put your top 6 and bottom 3.

1. Man City
2. Liverpool
3. Manchester United
4. Chelsea
5. Arsenal
6. Spurs
7. Everton
8. West Ham
9. Leicester
10. Wolves
11. Fulham
12. Bournemouth
13. Crystal Palace
14. Huddersfield
15. Newcastle
16. Southampton
17. Burnley
18. Brighton
19. Watford
20. Cardiff

Tiki - Tuchel is is France bro!

I mean Unai Emery :D

@Tiki We knew, we're just kidding you. And setting thing right. :P

1 liverpool
2 city
3 united
4 chelsea
5 tottenham
6 arsenal

Well, this is interesting...

Chelsea are doing better than I expected, they need to keep this up. :) And United are doing a lot worse than expected, they need to fix this somehow or this season will be one to forget. :(

I am very impressed with Chelsea too. I thought it would take more than one season for players to fully fit Sarri's system, but it turns out they are doing it quite well. With Hazard in great form and hopefully Kovačić fitting in, they should keep high level. There's still problem with rotations, that was his biggest mistake in Napoli, but now he has better bench, and I think he understands that rotations are much needed in his system.

Arsenal is getting those wins and it honestly makes me happy, Unai is doing good job, if it was still Wenger, Arsenal would probably be a lot behind Liverpool/City/Chelsea now. And I watched them yesterday, seems like Ramsey really doesn't fit his role and that Ozil should be shifted into middle, while someone fills the right wing spot (Iwobi?).

Shame to see Mourinho and United in general going into this rough patch. I think it's best for all that Mourinho leaves. He should maybe take a break, and carefully decide which team to manage this time. Also, I feel sorry for Martial who hasn't progressed much in last few years, I would actually love if he comes to Bayern one day.

Apart from United fans who are naturally right to back their team, how come many of you non-United fans put them in the top four. With the negativity around preseason, Mou's consistent third season syndrome and the lack of quality transfers, surely it was clear that they'd finish below City, Liv, Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs.

I was thinking that spurs will fall apart with their thin squad, but you're right 3rd season mou's worst. it's amazing spurs can still keep their players with the wages and without winning trophy.

example, at spurs eriksen earns 1/4 of what alexis sanchez earns at united per week and look at the performances, just wow. eriksen has been staying for 5 season under spurs trophyless. I clap his loyalty to the club.

as things stands, 4th is for arsenal vs spurs.

I put Liverpool outside the top 4 because I thought AFCON was still in winter, well I'd probably swap them with Spurs. I put Watford too low lol, excellent season they are having.

@Eden17 They finished second last season, they signed Fred which a lot said would fix a lots of Pogba's problem. I thought they would at very least make it top 4. :( On the other hand Tottenham who also barely signed anyone new are doing good so I don't think its a good argument. If your team already good and filled with talented player, you shouldn't need a lots of signing.

as things stands, 4th is for arsenal vs spurs.

Yep, pretty much whats it going to be.

I don’t think City will win it. The rest idk 😐

Liverpool are matching the expectations...

Not too ashamed of that; the big surprises were Fulham and Huddersfield doing much worse than I expected, and Watford doing a lot better than I thought they would. Other than that the only anomalies were Manchester United falling so far and Wolves doing a bit better than I thought they would.

Watford was really hard to predict to be fair. :U But yeah, I didn't get a lot of them right. Most of my prediction were close at least. My worse were difference of 6 and 5.

Man United 1-6
Man City 2-1
Spurs 3-4
Chelsea 4-3

Liverpool 6-2
Leicester 7-9
Wolves 8-7

Watford 15 - 11
Fulham 16 19
Crystal Palace 17 - 12
Brighton 18 - 17
Huddersfield 19 -20
Cardiff 20 -18

41 difference. Big misses were on United (5), Palace (5), Watford (4), and Liverpool (4). Oh well, the United pick was more hope than expectation anyway, but not expect this shitty of a season.

All (we) Manchestr United had to do, to finish top 4 was beat Cardiff and Huddersfield - Both already relegated.

P.s I love this thread. We all started off looking like geniuses ... 😂😂😂

1- City
2- Chelsea
3- Liverpool
4- Arsenal
5- Spurs
6- Everton
7- Man Utd

lol at least I was right with a couple of things:

1- City to win.
2- Chelsea & Liverpool to make it top 4. I thought Arsenal would do better but I was wrong. (They could have, but bottled it).
3- Man Utd actually didn't disappoint here, from 7th and 6th not a big difference.

City - 1
Liverpool - 2
Chelsea - 3
Arsenal - 5
Tottenham - 4
United - 6
Everton - 8
Wolves - 7
Burnley - 15
Newcastle -13
West Ham -10
Leicester - 9
Fulham - 19
Southampton - 16
Bournemouth - 14
Palace - 12
Brighton - 17
Watford - 11
Hudderfield - 20
Cardiff - 18

Total difference is 40
