Given the early start some other clubs have, it’s imperative we don’t get too far behind early doors.

We have some big fixtures just as our internationals should be hitting their stride, so fingers crossed!

I’d certainly prefer to be there or thereabouts, instead of having to play catch up for months on end, even if we do win it by 12pts again!

The Top 6 is going to be VERY interesting this year, given so few player changes that have taken place to date, but the window is far from closed and I’d expect some serious movement before the season starts, and then again on D Day!
 
They'll be a lot of the top six taking points off each other so I cant see being more than 90, low to mid 80's.
 
We have a really tough first 7 game schedule, hope we don't fall much behind. Voted 90-95
 
Very strange that 90-94 points gets so many votes. There’s only been one season in the PL era (2018-19) where the runners up have managed to get 90 or more points and that includes the early years in the 1990s when it was a 42 game season.
I think mid 80s will be enough next season. Too many teams taking points off each other for it to be a two horse race where the runners up finish with an extremely high total.

I'll say 88 points wins the league.
The winner will be the one who lands Haaland (unfortunately suspect it will be Chelsea) assuming dippers don't get Mbappe. As things stand now I suspect we will drop off the pace this year and finish 3rd Behind Chelsea and Liverpool with United in fourth. Our start to the season with the tough away games could obviously work for or against, concerned if KDB does miss first half of season that damage could be done with our title challenge early. Worried about our recruitment if we don't get Haaland and think we still need to strengthen defensively ideally a top quality left back and ideally a young central midfielder. Might be a unpopular opinion but doubt we will finish with such a strong defensive record next season as the standards Stones and Dias set last season will be difficult to maintain.
I'm really praying we get Haaland!

I'd have said high eighties as well. Though Chelsea and the cult will push us hard next season.

I honestly don’t see the odd lot down the road being a threat. They have a ridiculously easy run of fixtures to start so there will no doubt be lots of media hype as they top the table early on, but by the end of January they will be fighting for Top 4 with Leicester

I'm not sure. Getting back the bestest CB in the world ever ever EVER will be a boost for them. And I can't see them having a similar run of home defeats like they had at the turn of the year.

I was talking about the Zebra Pants Massive in Trafford.
Van Dijk and Gomez have had really bad injuries, they will probably never be the same again
