7. Stoke
8. Everton
9. Southampton
10. Crystal Palace
11. Swansea
12. Newcastle

I guess I have Villa going down, sorry Porky! Right now I think they've lost the one real goalscorer they have and don't think Gestede, Adebayor and/or Berbatov are good enough replacements. Norwich have enough experience in the team to survive I think and I have Bournemouth being the surprise package of the season - Ritchie, Atsu and Gradel are good wingers and Calum Wilson will score given the chance I'm sure.

Top 4 pretty self explanatory.

I'm pretty much thinking along the same lines as you. Although I might just switch out Villa in the Relegation Zone with Sunderland. Sunderland have survived one too many times, a lot like Wigan, and there luck has to run out at some point.

Pellegrini is already undermined for the season by the fact he has a year left and the club badly want Pep for next season and naturally that indecision causes complacency with the players.

Not placing my Liverpool-Spurs places with any real confidence as the former have done better business this summer but will take time to gel. Spurs, haven't really done anything of note so you wonder that's what Pochettino wants - work with a younger group who will be more amenable to listen to his methods.

Stoke's work under Hughes wasn't noted as well as it should have been, think they will continue their form from last season.

Bournemouth have got a buzz about them but think pragmatically, they'll fall owing to the lessons other promoted clubs have to learn, i.e. the small margins of success and failure in the PL.

From Spurs downward, I really had trouble. There's a lot of variables in play.
