Without a shadow of a doubt, we will beat at least one of the bigguns at least once. We always play better when we need to raise our game.
I think that Arsenal are the top 6 side we are most likely to beat. We will out-compete them (if there is such a word). Perversely, I also think that they are the side most likely to take us to the cleaners!
I can't see QPR getting any points off the top 4, but I believe that Tottenham and Liverpool (especially away from home) are vulnerable, I think Arsenal will just open teams up away from home. As a neutral I would probably say: Arsenal = 0 Aston Villa = 1 Blackburn = 3 Bolton = 4 Chelsea = 0 Everton = 1 Fulham = 0 Liverpool = 1 Man City = 0 Man Utd = 0 Newcastle = 4 Norwich = 6 Stoke = 3 Sunderland = 3 Swansea = 3 Tottenham = 1 West Brom = 3 Wolves = 1 Wigan = 6 40 points which I feel this year will be ample amount of points to just about stay up You can never predict these things though. I think Swansea are the newly promoted team to pull of a shock result as they are (Wrongly IMO) tipped as favourites for the drop, but the Wales-England factor could be vital, not many teams will fancy Swansea away midweek on a cold night at the Liberty. I think we have them on New Years eve which will be tough
