I actually think the top three will be City, Arsenal and Chelsea ; although maybe not in that order, a lot depends on our away results and the defending improving, or if we strengthen in January.
4th spot is between;
Liverpool, ....... going well, need to keep Suarez and Sturridge needs to return to the squad as soon as possible
Everton, ...........much imporved playing better football this season, keep the loan signings and then keep the core players fit until season's end.
Spurs, ...............AVB needs to learn which his best first eleven is, then integrate the other players when chances crop up.
Rags, .................I think top four is beyond them, especially if Rooney buggers off in January, contract running down and all, but if they get players fit can they fight their way back into the top four ?
