Who's it gonna be then? Usually after 10 games you can tell there is one definite. One maybe. And a bunch of unknowns. For me: Definite: Crystal Palace Maybe: Fulham (Although, they do have some good players, change of manager is probably needed) Out of the rest, I think Norwich look like they will struggle.
Crystal Palace, Norwich & Cardiff. They don't have enough goals in their team IMO. Hull don't either but they have Steve Bruce + good defence.
Currently a four point gap between the last relegation place, Sunderland on 24 points, and Swansea in tenth sport on twenty eight points. Then there's a nine point gap between Swansea and Newcastle. Looks like Fulham are dead and buried, have to say Cardiff too and then any one of the teams from tenth down to eighteenth.
C Palace has never survived in the premiership. This season it's going to be "escape velocity" for them. Tony Pulis has done a good job. I would like to say Cardiff, Fulham and Sunderland.
Hull have built of a solid defence. The addition of Long Jelly has brought goals. It still still be close but for all of the attacking football on show in the Premier League it is a defence that rules the day. All solid Premier League teams have a good defence. Stoke and Bolton showed this for years and most title winning teams have the best defence in the league. Chelsea usually have, and Man United [until recently] were great at 1-0's. I think Bruce is doing a good job, he seems to have learnt from previous experience and can see Hull being a stable[ish] lower mid table team for a few seasons. After that who knows, that will depend on the owner and manager.
Norwich's last 4 games. Liverpool (H) Man United (A) Chelsea (A) Arsenal (H) You feel they need to get at least 6 point gap between them and the relegation zone going into those final 4 games!
I've previously said Fulham, Norwich and Cardiff. I reckon West Brom may now be in the mix. Tough call.
