Man Utd and Chelsea are going to run away with it again. Liverpool won't gell and will fall over before Christmas (again), and Rafa might not even survive this time! Arsenal don't quite have the depth and experience, as with last season.

Aston Villa have a nice team coming together, and even if they lose Barry in 'that' saga, they're in for a European place again.

Everton have little depth but they're a team, and have basically been together for the last few seasons. That isn't something to be underestimated!

Tottenham should finish higher, but I think they're going to struggle with so many changes and (possibly) only Bent as a main striker.

No offence to Mark Hughes, but I think that he and his team are going to take a season to settle. Portsmouth will probably come through stronger, Harry has had some time to get together a team and little and large will do well up front.

It falls away a bit after that - Newcastle will fail to produce more than flashes of exciting football, Blackburn are in freefall with Hughes having left, Bolton will struggle without Anelka, Fulham will stabilise a bit, Sunderland will probably claw their way up the table a bit(!), and the 3 who came up will (probably) go down.
