Crystal ball time.....Top 6 Premiership finishers...2009-10
Discussion
To be honest I think Liverpool will have problems again next year unless they can get another serious striker and they don't lose Alonso OR Mascherano. They just don't have quality in depth. United do have quality in depth, but they will have problems without Ronaldo and Tevez (providing they don't find something ridiculous in the transfer market or that Ribery/Valencia prove to be worth it) and Chelsea will do better now they have a manager that is likely to stay for a sustained period (although I said that about Scolari!). As a result I think it might look like this, although its obviously going to be seriously subject to change and signings:
Chelsea
United
Liverpool
Then
Everton
Arsenal
Villa/Spurs/City/Fulhan
I think further down it will be a City/Fulham scrap, providing that Fulham can make signings that will keep them competitive over the extra games they'll be playing. I'm not expecting magic from City for a good season or two. I don't think they will be able to handle teams when they are just a collection of players.

Top six for the season just gone will be the same for the season coming, not sure on the top 3 order. Man City breaking into top 6. I can't see it but stranger things have happened. As long as my team finish out of the bottom 3 I'll be happy. Although looking at the players pudgy face is allegedly after we're fked
1] Man U
2] Chelsea
3] Liverpool
4] Arsenal
5] Man City
6] Everton
However, I reckon you could mix up the first 3 and second 3 in any order (and put add Villa in the mix for the 3-6 mob) depending on what happens in the transfer market. Might even see ther Scousers drop out of the first 3 if the lose Alonso (looking increasingly likely) and/or Mascherano.

So part from the top four *probably* up there - can't see any other teams getting in there - what is there to get excited about.
Some indiviudal games may be exciting but really, the who wins the Premiership is a boring subject as it's gonna be one of the top three in reality - Arsenal ain't got the squad ...
A better debate would be the bottom three ...
