Order of Top Four
Manchester United: Have a smarter manager and a squad more attuned to winning than all the other contenders
Chelsea: A smart manager to wring one last hurrah from some ageing hands
Manchester City: Arguably the least-entertaining team of superstars ever will grind their way into contention but sporadic losses to weak sides will cost them
Arsenal: Oh ye of little faith! Surely Wenger can do enough with whatever remains to keep them in the top four ahead of Liverpool and Spurs.
Relegated
Norwich City and Swansea City: They both look like being this year’s Blackpool, loved by the neutrals but destined to be lamented
Wolves: Mick McCarthy has done an incredible job but this season, sadly, he may just run out of miracles
Player of the Year
Wayne Rooney: After a messy last campaign, he’s due some consistent excellence
Young Player of the Year
The first thought is Jack Wilshere, although after his impressive Community Shield cameo Tom Cleverley may get the sort of extended first team run that allows him to challenge for this bauble.
First manager to be sacked
Steve Kean is the bookies’ favorite and with good reason too. Can’t rule out QPR being stupid enough to get rid of Neil Warnock after the first dodgy result either.
