I think with the signings and those that have left. We will have to wait a few weeks to really know if we are competitive to challenge up top this season.

That’s why I am called Stats 😌

Top 6 is likely to be contested by the same teams as last season. Newcastle might challenge longer term but they still look like they are work in progress.

Only 1 game gone but United already look to have challenges as Ten Hag now has to figure out what to do about Ronaldo. I think that distraction could cost them top 4, so it will likely be 4 out of us, City, Liverpool, Spuds, and Arsenal. My biggest concern over our chances is how quickly the new look squad can settle. If we get through the first 10 games with a decent points tally, I will feel pretty confident in top 4.
