As we are about to start the new Premier League season, many pundits are giving their predictions for the top three and the bottom three.

For me, the three teams that came up from the Coca-Cola Championship, Hull City, Stoke City and West Brom, are favourites to go straight back down and be relegated come next May, with Bolton being ‘in the mix’ for the whole season.

I feel confident that Chelsea will win the Premier League due to the pain of being runners up in three competitions last season. Manchester United swill be second, with Liverpool being third.

I think Arsenal and Tottenham will battle it out for fourth place; and that will depend on whether Berbatov stays at White Hart Lane or, if he goes to Manchester United as everyone now believes will definitely happen, who they buy to replace him.

If David Villa doesn’t want to come to the White Hart Lane then maybe they can coax Steve Archibald out of retirement!
