Probably right about united but I have a feeling they are going to sign a couple f top players before end of August that might put the cat among the pigeons
stanley if United do fall they will only drop 2 or 3 places at most, the gap between 5th place and 6th is huge anyway. I honestly believe there is more chance of your Fulham, Stoke and West Brom catching Liverpool and Everton than Liverpool and Everton catching Arsenal or even Spurs.
I don’t think the gap is quite as big as the points difference from last season would indicate. It was Rodgers first season in charge and he got off to a terrible start which left us playing catch up for the rest of the season, also you have to expect Coutinho and Sturridge to make an impact over the full season like they did in the second half of last season. I think we will be closer in terms of points this season, even if we don’t sign anyone else in this window.
However I would be surprised if we made 4th without about 3 more quality players, as we’re unlikely to close the gap enough to edge out one of the existing top 4 teams. But if we do sign 2 - 3 proven players and I think we can challenge for that 4th place.
