My Premier League predicted table 2020/21 [a thread]:
20. West Brom
I rate Bilic, but just don’t feel their squad is up to the standard, especially up top. Getting Diangana back was great, but it’s still very much a Championship squad.

19. Fulham
Similarly to West Brom, the quality isn’t there for the Premier League. Getting Areola is a coup, but their squad as a whole is weak. I expect Parker’s inexperience to get him the sack and then someone like Hughton try and save them but it’ll be too late.

18. Crystal Palace
Feel after 8 seasons in the Premier League, this is the one Palace go down. Their form after the restart was dreadful, I sense Zaha will be unmotivated and their signings have been average. Not enough potency up top.

17. Aston Villa
Another relegation battle for Villa, but expect them to survive narrowly. Grealish will almost singlehandedly drag them to stay in the league. Watkins is a gamble, but will improve them. Smith will get the sack at some point.

16. Brighton
Potter plays nice football and I expect Brighton to pull off a few upsets, but also have a lot of thrashings in there. Lallana adds quality and experience, while managing to keep hold of White will help hugely.

15. West Ham
For a squad of their quality, they should be nowhere near the bottom, but the disarray at the club and discontent with the owners will produce a miserable season. No good additions and weak defensively, especially at fullback.

14. Leeds
I feel this season goes one or two ways for Leeds — either they impress everyone, or it’s a disaster. Their squad isn’t great, but Bielsa will get them playing well beyond their capabilities. I see them starting strong, then falling off a bit. Shouldn’t be in danger.

13. Sheffield United
A bit of second season syndrome, but still should survive with no difficulty. Bogle is a good addition and if they add Brewster, they’ll look much stronger. I rate Wilder highly so could finish similarly to last year.
