Christmas is days away and signals the half way stage of the Premier League Season. With that i though ti would give my prediction on how the next half of the league will pan out.

Chelsea sit top of the pile at Christmas, and looking at the previous winners who have been league leaders at this time of year it seems likely they will win it. However this year five other teams hover around the top. Even though the Blues lead by six points, only seven points separate second to sixth.

Anything can happen in the Premier League. A phrase spoken hundreds of times. Man City have arguably the best manager in the league but have hit a poor run of form for possible champions. Liverpool can outscore any team at the moment, while Man United cannot be ruled out with the form they have recently hit.

With that all said my Top 6 Prediction:

1st Chelsea

2nd Man City

3rd Liverpool

4th Man Utd

5th Arsenal

6th Tottenham

 

At the other end of the table relegation beckons in the ears of a handful of clubs. Hull sit bottom on goal difference and look like in desperate need of new signings in the January transfer window.

Swansea have struggled for improvement under new boss Bob Bradley wit two wins in their last ten games.

Sunderland have won 4 in their last ten. Every year they seem to be in the same position and every year escape. Yet they sit in 18th, four point away from 14th so it only takes a couple of wins for the table to take a reshuffle.

Burnley, Crystal Palace, Leicester City and Middlesbrough all linger above the relegation zone, so anytime soon could drop into a poor run of form and plummet.

Bottom 3 prediction: 

18th Middlesbrough

19th Swansea

20th Hull City
