2013-14 English Premier League Predictions

Now that the transfer season is finally over and all the teams are set until January, I decided to make my first-ever attempt at Premier League predictions. I analyzed each club's form to close last season and their form to start this season, assessed their off-season moves, and computed some very limited statistical analysis. Here is what I came up with:

RANK	CLUB	GD	PTS.	REMARKS
1	Chelsea	+34	80	2014-15 Champions League
2	Manchester United	+31	79	2014-15 Champions League
3	Arsenal	+34	77	2014-15 Champions League
4	Manchester City	+30	77	2014-15 Champions League
5	Liverpool	+32	67	2014-15 Europa League
6	Tottenham	+22	67	2014-15 Europa League
7	Swansea City	+10	55	2014-15 Europa League
8	Everton	+9	54
9	West Ham	-4	48
10	Norwich City	-4	47
11	West Brom	-9	43
12	Southampton	-12	42
13	Aston Villa	-9	41
14	Stoke City	-7	40
15	Fulham	-15	39
16	Cardiff City	-18	39
17	Newcastle United	-27	39
18	Sunderland	-24	38	Relegated
19	Hull City	-26	32	Relegated
20	Crystal Palace	-24	28	Relegated

As you can see, I think it will be a very exciting four-team battle for the Premier League trophy, between Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Manchester City. And just for fun, I'll say the three teams that get promoted to the Premier League next year will be Queen's Park Rangers, Watford, and Blackpool.
