Premier League Table: 90min Experts Predict 2019/20 Finishing Positions

​Jack Gallagher: Liverpool are the best team in the Premier League: fact.

Manchester City's defence is terrible but they're still infinitely better than everyone bar Liverpool: fact.

Tottenham Hotspur are falling apart: fact.

Manchester United look like a mid-table team: fact. 

Sheffield United are solid enough to survive: fact.

Teemu Pukki is great but Norwich City are were beat 6000-0 by Aston Villa so they're the worst team in the league: fact.

And the rest of the table basically wrote itself.

​Toby Cudworth: Well, well, well. I'll be honest, I didn't envisage the Premier League season starting in the manner it has - and I definitely didn't see Liverpool having the title all-but wrapped up from Man City after just eight games of the season. But that's where we find ourselves, so at least that's one less thing to worry about, I suppose.

Arsenal, somehow, look like the best of the rest, though Chelsea have started to come into their own after an indifferent start to life under Frank Lampard. Maintaining it will be a different kettle of fish, and I really, really like the look of Leicester - providing they can keep their players fit and healthy. So I'm backing them to sneak cheeky Champions League qualification, as Man Utd and Tottenham's worlds continue to fall apart.

At the other end, Watford have been very, very bad and Norwich look hellbent on playing an entertaining brand of attacking football, no matter the cost. Sheffield United have been surprisingly good, but I feel things are going a little too well right now. So they're my three to go down based on what I've seen so far, though Southampton, Brighton and Newcastle - as well as an inconsistent Aston Villa - will push them close.

​Jude Summerfield: The title race isn’t over, but let’s be real: Liverpool are winning it. Leicester may burn out in the race for Champions League, and while there’s currently no logical explanation for backing Tottenham to finish third, I’m picking them on blind faith. 

Norwich’s approach looks like it needs some tinkering soon or they’ll be facing the drop, while the Longstaffs alone won’t be enough to keep Newcastle up, that funny win over Manchester United aside.

​Krishan Davis: If I were to describe the Premier League so far this season in one word, it would probably have to be 'unbalanced'. While the top two are setting incredible standards for relentless winning and mesmerisingly geometric football, the rest of the division has been underwhelming to say the least, making it very difficult to predict beyond the top two.

I think the mettle and winning mentality Jurgen Klopp has instilled in his players - evidenced in the Champions League win - will see them through domestically, while Man Utd will slip further towards mid-table mediocrity alongside several other underachievers such as Everton. Aston Villa have shown they have it in them to survive, while their fellow promoted sides may not be so lucky.

​Sean Walsh: As a Spurs fan, these eight games have been tough to take, let alone because I was convinced this season would be a prelude to a title charge. The January transfer window will be huge in shaping the outcome of this season, but until I see what business happens, I can’t imagine Tottenham making the top four after this dreadful start.
