Former England goalkeeper David James doesn’t think Manchester United and Chelsea will be able to break into the top four this season.
Two of England’s most successful clubs are facing a difficult time, and despite spending heavily on strengthening and changes in management, James believes neither side will reach the top four this season.
“Manchester City are expected to win the league, or at least that’s what I expect from them. That’s what City have done,” James told Safefestcasino.com.uk.
“Arsenal will be up there. I expect Arsenal to challenge again for the title and I think Liverpool will do the same. The position at the end of the season is a bit difficult to predict.”
“I think Villa will be there but unfortunately they will have to give up domestic cups. It’s a shame but that’s the reality of the Premier League standards these days.”
“Newcastle could be in that position or close to it. I like the way they’ve started the season and they’ve done it in the wrong situations. We’ve seen Eddie Howe do it so we know he can do it.”
“With Chelsea, the team has great players but their consistency is a big problem. I don’t see them being consistent enough to compete for the top four in a 38-game season.”
“If I look at the table now, I’m pretty sure the top four will be in the current position, สมัคร ufabet maybe even in this position. For me, it’s between Aston Villa and Newcastle for fourth place.”
