I'm not a fan of any of the 20 teams involved this season - my lot, Pompey, are enjoying an extended holiday in League One and will relocate back to the promised land when they want to thank-you very much. But you may detect in my summary that for some of the teams I have axes to grind. That's half the fun of it though, isn't it? And I can say hand on heart I've not placed any team lower than I want to just because I don't like them*. If you disagree with my selections furiously, do have a go yourself - tweet me at @stevebone1 and post your own finishing positions, then we can all reconvene in May and see who knows best. (* apart from Leicester).
17. West Ham
You can't help thinking Moyesy is even more likely than Mour-sey to be the first PL boss to be on his bike this season. How many home defeats to Brighton and Burnley can Karren and the two Davids stand? Yet somehow West Ham will turn it on when they need to, probably beating Chelsea and Man Utd and nicking a late winner at Fulham, and blow soapy bubbles into enough opponents' eyes to survive. Prediction: 17th
18. Burnley
Without wishing not to sound patronising, the Clarets have done superbly to stay in the top division as long as they have. But gravity comes into play and the law of football averages has to pull them back down some time, like Bournemouth before them. This could be the year Sean Dyche's croakiness finally breaks into a tearful goodbye to the Prem. Prediction: 18th.
19. Fulham
Fulham
Who groaned when the line-up for the Championship play-offs was known and said: 'Please, anyone but Fulham, please. Let it be Brentford.'? I did. Afraid Fulham add as little colour to the Premier League rainbow as their kit does to the Craven Cottage landscape. They'll win a few in September and April, but not many in between. Prediction: 19th.
20. Crystal Palace
For about six years in a row, I always used to tip Palace, Stoke and Southampton to go down, on the basis that, eventually I'd be right. With Stoke, I eventually was, With Southampton I'm now trying reverse psychology where I predict success in order for them to suffer certain failure, but Palace, well, they can't last forever. Big Roy will be in his 80s if he keeps them up much longer. Sorry Roy, Palace fans won't be glad but it'll be all over come May. Prediction: 20th.
