I can see Hull, Sunderland and Southampton all hitting problems

managerial issues with all of them.

Steve Bruce is not Prem standard
Di Canio will flip and the wheels will be off
Pochettino still can't speak the language, and Southampton's form was dipping fast.

Add the play-off winners in the mix and Fulham (who need to address an ageing squad), and I think we have a fair chance of a strong season.
