Villa, the team is positive, looking forward will nip the Gunners because of the exact opposite reason.

Aston Villa because I've always been a fan of them.

And I hate Arsenal

Chelsea and Liverpool have lost their early season impetus so neither can be 100% certain of qualifying for the Champions League though youd think they should be OK.

Villa are having a great season and I've always rated Martin O'Neill as a manager.

Everton are going really well though I think their current lack of strikers will make it hard for them.

It's all becoming interesting. I reckon it'll end up like this

1. Man Utd

2. Chelsea

3. Aston Villa

4. Liverpool

5. Everton

6. Arsenal

Deffo United champs, I could see Villa finishing second (and it would be such a refreshing change)if they carry on playing the way they are. Chelsea and Liverpool fighting for third with Arsenal finishing fifth.

I've been checking the results so far this season compared to the corresponding matches against the same opponents last season (substituting promoted teams for those relegated at the end of last season). This is the current standing following matches on 27 Jan.

Man U..........+3 points.........-4 goals scored.......-3 goals conceded

Liverpool.......-2 points.........-8 goals scored......+2 goals conceded

Chelsea.......-14 points........+6 goals scored........0 goals conceded

Arsenal.........-9 points........-11 goals scored......+5 goals conceded

Villa...........+16 points.........-4 goals scored......-12 goals conceded

Everton.........-6 points.........-9 goals scored......+9 goals conceded

Looking at the remaining matches for each team, in the corresponding matches last season.

Man U (16 matches)...........Won 13 Drew 1 Lost 2

Liverpool (16 matches).......Won 7 Drew 6 Lost 3

Chelsea (16 matches)........Won 6 Drew 8 Lost 2

Arsenal (16 matches).........Won 9 Drew 6 Lost 1

Villa (15 matches)..............Won 9 Drew 2 Lost 4

Everton (16 matches).........Won 6 Drew 5 Lost 5

The strange fact is that Chelsea have 14 points less than last season despite scoring 6 goals more and conceding the same number.

My guess for the final 6 places.

1. Man U

2. Liverpool

3. Villa

4. Chelsea

5. Arsenal

6. Everton
