Premier League Predictions 2019/20

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

My thoughts:
Newcastle have struggled for a few years and gotten away with it and now w/o Rafa they're going down. Sheffield United aren't a strong enough team and Brighton are much weaker than Villa I think and Villa will slot back nicely into the midfield. Everton will regain the 7th spot as king of the midfield. Like you I don't see this being a very close season, but Arsenal will just grab 2nd off Liverpool at the end. Spurs will beat Chelsea to 4th and Manchester United will struggle to make a united squad once again.

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

Thoughts: I see a two horse race again really. I think City having a healthy De Bruyne back will keep Liverpool off, and I think they’ll have a similar points total to previous years, I’ll say 96. I think Liverpool comes in with 92, and Tottenham closing the gap a bit with 84. Unless Spurs sign another player to really change things up in the next 48 hours, I see us having a great squad, but still not enough to challenge the top two. 4-6 I believe will be fairly close, but I think there will be a 10-15 point gap between them and the top 3. As for the “best of the rest” category, I think Wolves is the best team by a wide margin, and I don’t think Europe will affect them too harshly. I see West Ham as a bit of a flop this year, as they seem to be a team with lots of good talent, but still not a very good team. I think Villa’s signings will keep them up, and Pukki will keep Norwich up, but it’s right back down for Sheffield. I think for Newcastle it has to get worse so it can get better, and I couldn’t actually think of a single Southampton player. Hopefully this season is exciting, and hopefully I’m horribly wrong and Spurs win it all

Well slightly later than we originally expected the season has finished and congratulations to Liverpool for winning the league, as predicted by nobody. Also congratulations to Sheffield United who we all predicted to be relegated and finished 9th after a fight to obtain European football.
