1, chelsea
2, liverpool
3, man utd
4, arsenal
5, spurs

and chelsea to play liverpool in at least one cup match.

liverpool aren't consistent enough yet to beat chelsea, and without gerrard won't do so well, and Arsenal and Man Utd are good but suffer from periods the same as liverpool of slip ups. Spurs probably won't break the top 4.
whoever's below that is anyone's guess tbh. I wouldn't be surprised to see west ham in the top 10
