As of today, we’re either bottom 3 or very close.

Two top centre backs (one who can also play right back) and two forwards (one who has proven himself in a top 5 European league) and then we should be clear of the drop fairly comfortably.

An injury to one of those and we're struggling
 

We will know a lot more after our first 5 games !

The betting markets have us coming 19th now, above Burnley so we’re moving in the right direction. We’re expected to come about 11 points behind 4th bottom, that’s reduced from 16 points a couple of weeks ago. Add the striker who’s proven and a couple of defenders and we will really be in the mix to stop up.
 
18. Leeds
19. Brentford
20. Burnley

It depends how soon Leeds sack Farke and who they replace him with as to whether they can stay up or not. I think Sunderland, Bournemouth and Wolves will be in the mix and i wouldn't be surprised to see Forest struggle

Honestly at least one promoted team will stay up this season.

Brentford are weak, best players wanting out, Frank leaving. I also think Wolves will struggle.

Based on our outrageous spending, I think we will finish 16th. Afcon will definitely hit us, why can't they have it in July like other continents.

18. Wolves.

At the minute Burnley Leeds Brentford
 
I still think it's the three promoted sides. But Brentford have suffered massive upheaval, Bournemouth have had outgoings, and I don't trust Wolves to replace Semedo or Ait Nouri properly.
 
Right now it needs a collapse of a team to keep any of us 3 promoted teams up. All 3 promoted teams being competitive will help massively in reducing point totals of teams like Wolves.

Our start to the season is very important. West Ham at home and Burnley away are games we need to be taking a win from to stay up. If we're not winning those games, which ones are we winning?

There's all sorts of conundrums,could have a lousy start and a strong finish for example, no season has ever been decided over the first handful of games for example. It's each to their own, but I'm firmly in the camp of one game at a time, forget the most recent result, win, draw or lose and then focus on the next.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Everton as one who might find themselves in trouble. They’ve been scrapping at the bottom of the league pretty consistently the last few years and moving to the new ground might not work in their favour.

Mind I quite like Everton and would rather see them in the prem, just not at our expense.

They’ve got 48pts past 2 seasons comfortably safe
 
Cant see Everton, with feelgood factor of a new ground featuring.

Mind I would fecking love to send that dour old twat down on the final weekend.

Football is football. I don't think anyone predicted Spurs would finish 17th last season at the start.

But I don't want to be heading into December feeling like we really need to start to pick up points or need one of our miracles to survive. That month is brutal. Leeds and 4 of last seasons top 8, with a Man City double and the home derby.
