I'm going:
Bournemouth
Everton
Leeds
One I'm least confident on is Everton. Suspect FF will get the boot by Christmas as they may get out of a jail with a new manager. Just can't see another team more likely to go down. Was between them and Fulham for me for that last spot.
As a Leeds fan I'm fairly confident that with a bigger squad and the new additions we will be ok this year. I'm not predicting anything massive but lower mid-table for meBournemouth
Everton

Everton
Forest
Wolves
Tough one - theres so many poor looking teams next year.
Bournemouth, Brentford, Palace, Everton, Fulham, Leeds, Forest and Wolves by going off the fact they're newly promoted/were awful last year are all going to be in the mix.
As a Leeds fan I hope we'll be ok. We've sold our two best players but have far more depth already with the 6 players we've brought in. Rumours about a left back inbound too as well as still chasing a new 9 should, I think/hope, see us fine. We lost our way last year due to a combination of injuries/not strengthening during January, supposedly partly due to Bielsa's stubborness and a refusal to change tactics which saw us ship 26 goals in a month or whatever it was.
I think the 3 teams who came up will struggle with Everton thrown into the mix.

Agreed it's a tough one. Reflected in the odds. Can't be "confident" anyone will go down. Bournemouth, Brentford, Palace, Everton, Fulham, Leeds, Forest and Wolves by going off the fact they're newly promoted/were awful last year are all going to be in the mix.

Re Leeds ... despite the squad depth, tbh I think you'll struggle without Raphinia. Guy is world class, and made a huge difference to your team.

Interesting re Palace. PV has improved things there and they are decent at Selhurst. What makes you think they will go down? Leeds
Everton
I'll likely be proved very wrong. In fact all 3 teams should take solice in the fact I've nominated them.
Naturally biased as a Wolves fan, but there always seem to be a few who reckon we'll go down. Seems to have happened each season since we came back up, and we finished 7th, 7th, 13th and 10th (having been 8th up until the last game). That being said, we absolutely need some cover because our bench is full of 16 year olds. No depth whatsoever 
We really need to be scoring far more however. Last season was a painful watch - Hopefully Jiminez is back to his best following his injury.
Brentford - No Eriksen
Bournemouth - It's Bournemouth
Everton - Seemingly the worst ran team in the league as of recently
Leeds potentially as a wildcard, but they look to have made a few good signings so I reckon they'll be ok. Typically this means they'll batter us first game.

Leeds without Raphinha and Brentford without Eriksen may well struggle, so they'd me my favorites to go down. I expect Notts Forest and Fulham to have a first season bounce but Southampton and Bournemouth could be in a battle to stay up.
But Leeds with more strength in depth, hopefully fewer long term injuries, a manager who will hopefully adapt when things aren't working out and despite his brilliance, no Raphinha who disappeared in games for a couple of months at the start of the year should put us much further away from the bottom 3 this time around... oh and no Tyler Roberts to come off the bench. Despite the fact I like the lad, shipping him out to QPR may be worth a few more points to us this season!Also a Leeds fan and feel we're stronger now without Raphinha but with more depth, I think we've had one of the best transfer windows in the league with a striker and a LB still to come I hope.
so my three would be:
Brentford
Fulham
Bournemouth
I think Everton and Southampton will be down there too but just scrape it
