1. ManCity - Pep is bringing in his guys and I believe he is more of a "chosen one" than Jose
2. ManU - Even when they get Pogba, I'm still putting ManU under Mancity.
3. Chelsea - Conte seems to be a good coach and I beleive Chelsea will be a threat again this year.
4. Spurs - Arsenal got away with it last year but this is the year that the Spurs finish over Arsenal. Janssen could be a good piece next to Kane.
5. Arsenal - Where is the top-class striker? The fans are going to be rowdy this season against Wenger. The rest of the league has improved
6. Leichester - Like I said the rest of the league has improved and Kanté is gone.
7. Liverpool - Liverpool will be more competitive this year with Mané and Wijnaldum but the defensive took a big hit with Skrtel gone
8. West Ham- Feghouli will help the squad and the team suffered no major losses.
9. Everton- If the team is able to keep Lukaku. I believe the players around him will have more chemistry this season to move back up in the rankings.
10. Stoke City- I don't think Joe Allen will be enough to elevate this squad from where they were last season.
11. Southampton- While the team did find replacements, they lost some major players in Wanyama, Pellè, and Sadio Mané
12. Watford- They have not started well but Ighalo should get hot eventually.
13. West Bromwich Albion- Just the usual
14. Swansea City- They have lost and added players. Should be able to keep them in the Premier League
15. Middlesbourgh- They spend money this season like they want to stay and they played very well Week 2.
16. Crystal Palace- Benteke should save this team.
17. Bournemouth- The team has a lot of heart and I believe it will help them stay one more year in the Premier League.
18. Burnley- They got an Icelandic player.
19. Sunderland- They have gotten rid of 4 players and brought in none. They seem to be planning their exit.
20. Hull City- They have done nothing in the transfer window to stay in the Premier League. Might just be building up money for the future.

1. Chelsea
2.Man City
3.Man United
4.Tottenham
5.West Ham (Payet was arguably the 2nd best player in the league last year and Bilic produced some tactical masterclasses away from home. I predict as long as the home form improves against weaker sides they will be higher)
6.Arsenal (If they sign a striker they could go further up but till then I dont think so)
7.Liverpool
8.Leicester (with CL football now I don't see them keeping up an amazing league performances, plus no Kante)
9.Southampton
10.Everton
11.Stoke
12. Middlesbourgh (got some good signings in so far!)
13.Watford
14.West Brom
15.Crystal Palace
16.Swansea
17.AFC Bournemouth
18.Sunderland
19.Hull City
20.Burnley

We do agree on the three teams being relegated.
So I'll add that on to my list as well.

Perhaps a bit into the season already, but I think the league will end somehow like this

1. Arsenal - I think if injuries don't stand in the way of Cazorla, Ramsey and Sanchez again and with the improvement that both Ozil and Walcott are displaying, this may be the season...
2. Spurs - Pochettino manages to bring a better team every season and I think they will be battling for the PL crown this year as well.
3. ManCity - Pep will most likely bring the League Cup or the FA Cup home, but will struggle a bit in the PL.
4. Liverpool - Klopp keeps getting more and more from Firmino and Coutinho. Also, Lallana has been given more responsibility and is doing great since... Perhaps the return of a long-lost contender? (That lone season when Luis Suarez FC finished 2nd doesn't count...)
5. West Ham- They did remarkably well last year and seem to keep the same dinamic now. If the Europa Lague doesn't take its toll on the team, they may do even better...
6. ManU - Pogba is good for static football like in Italy or having a tank behind like Kante, but ManU can't provide that. Rooney and Ibra are way too old for this shit and Jose will ostracize Mata and Herrera for being Spanish (as he always does), so I don't see them doing better than Europa League this year...
7. Chelsea - Lightyears away from Rainieri's and Mourinho's teams, this will be another transition year for Chelsea.
8. Leicester - They lost their momentum and neither Mendy nor King can cover the massive hole Kantè left, though Okazaki and Musa up with Mahrez, Albrighton and Vardy will surely be interesting to watch.
9. Everton- Losing Martínez will be a big hit for the team, but if Barkley steps up as the major talent he is and with Koeman's guidance they could even surpass Chelsea and Leicester and fight for a place in the Europa League next year, either through PL or domestic cup.
10. Watford
11. Bournemouth
12. Stoke City
13. West Bromwich Albion
14. Middlesbrough
15. Swansea
16. Crystal Palace
17. Southampton
18. Burnley
19. Sunderland
20. Hull City

@Hibbington - Coming back and seeing this, seems that I got the Top of the pile spot on, but other than that mine were scattered. The 2 I was completely wrong on were West Ham and Leicester. The other ones could all finish around them particular spots so I might not be miles off but wow. Shows the prem can be unpredictable at times.

@MichelOlmedo - Also Ibra has most certainly proved he's not too old, with both Mata and Herrera regularly being played and Chelsea are running away with it :O

Indeed mate. I was expecting Ibra to come just for a golden retirement, and now he seems to be playing even better than years before.... Mou has shown this season that he is also capable of staying away from the spotlight, not ostracising the Spanish guys and focusing on coaching (as he did at Oporto), and when he is like this, there are few better coaches around.

And don't get me started on freaking Conte.... right after that game at the Emirates he decided to go back to his 5-2-3 formation and now is freaking unstoppable......

I think in regards to Conte it shows he is perfectly willing to admit this isn't working I need to change it. Where as with the greatest respect to Arsenal fans, their manager doesn't. He goes one way constantly and neglects the team on a regular basis. Conte realised uh oh this isn't working, changed it and they have destroyed most in their way since.

20. Hull City- They have done nothing in the transfer window to stay in the Premier League. Might just be building up money for the future.

So let's see how I did.
ManCity - did not win in Pep's first season, but hey at least it is a challenge for him. They will buy players in the transfer window. We know this.
ManU - Just so many ties...they only lost 5 games all year but had 15 ties. Clearly they are going to go after a new striker this transfer window.
Chelsea- Conte is a great coach...he honestly makes it so I can't hate Chelsea anymore. I respect the hell out of Conte. But they will buy players they don't need this transfer window for fuck all
Spurs- They did finish above Arsenal, they could win the league next season but I'd still go with a Chelsea repeat as it stands right now
Arsenal- I was right on the money with this one. We still don't have a World Class Striker, we still don't have our top players re-sign, we still have Stan and Wenger...maybe will be lower on the table next year
Leichester- I knew the rest of the league got better but Mahrez didn't have a good season, Vardy picked it up a bit the second half. Will see if they can stick around next season.
Liverpool- Mané and Wijnaldum were the reasons they finished above use, I was right these were the right buys for Liverpool.
West Ham- Surprise of the season, what happened? They were close to the relegation zone at one point. Payet wants out as well.
Everton- They did as I expected them too, just West Ham and Leichester under performed
Stoke City- Stoke's defense really held them back this year, they need a makeover.
Southampton- 8-16 is only separated by 6 points. I don't believe they did that great this season. The selling is getting to them. They need to start keeping.
Watford- Ighalo who? What happened? He was a stud last season and now I don't believe he is on the squad anymore. He just lost it and so did almost Watford in their Premiership.
West Bromwich Albion- Just the usual was right, only a -8 goal differential
Swansea City- After 2 coaching changes they still end up 15th, good on them.
Middlesbrough- They spent and they failed XD.
Crystal Palace- They lost 4 out of their 5 matches, they could of been much better than 14th on the league table.
Bournemouth- Eddie Howe is the man, he is the right fit for a new manager for Arsenal for the changes the Wenger Out movement wants.
Burnley- That goalkeeper kept them in the Premiership, good on them.
Sunderland- They planned their exit and they got it, been a blast Sunderland but it is time to go and I don't believe they have enough right now to come back.
Hull City- We at least they weren't last right?
