It's that time of the year again - the annual act of foolishness in which I try to predict the outcome of the 2024-25 season for all 20 Premier League clubs.
Tipping Manchester City to win last season's title hardly required genius, although tipping Aston Villa to finish fifth - they finished fourth and in the Champions League - at least earned some plus points.
There are caveats - excuses by any other name - that transfer activity could significantly alter this landscape but this is how it stands in the current position.
So while hoping not to repeat 2015-16’s spectacular prediction that Leicester City would be relegated in the season they won the league, here we go.
