Burnley: I feel they got a bit lucky at times last season, a lot of turgid football (although it worked, to their credit!). Added pressure of Europe (potentially) and higher expectations, too.

Europa League will screw them.

But once knocked out by December (or sooner!), I can imagine Dyche seeing getting enough wins. They play horrible football to watch, but he is a very good manager.

Chelsea won't be top 3
Burnley, Watford & Leicester won't be top 10
Southampton, Huddersfield & Newcastle will be involved in the relegation battle at least until the last 3 games

No problem! Betfair Sportsbook.

I use Betfair and was looking to put on a bet for my local non league team ( Southern Premier League) do you know if they produce odds that far down ? Can't seem to get any further than L1 .

Looks like they give odds for the season, but not individual games...

"Higher expectations"? Really? I don't think so.

You'll be hard-pushed to find ANY Burnley fan who thinks we will better or even match last year's 7th place.

Even the players (Tarkowski and Defour to name but two) don't expect to finish so high again and have warned fans that 17th place or above is the only thing that matters.

As for Europe "tiring" us out. Don't be daft - Dyche hates the cup competitions and, if we get past Aberdeen, he won't be sending a strong side to play against tough opponents in Istanbul. The Turks have Adebayor, Turan, Inler and Clichy among their ranks so the Clarets won't be beating them.

So no group stages for us:) I can see it being a ding-dong battle all season between Burnley and Brighton for 14th and 15th places.

You've obviously brought in lots of new players and spent a lot of money, but I still think we have a "fair" chance of finishing above the Seagulls for a sixth successive season.:)

Stains - I know a couple of their fans who don't know each other but share a common view that last season was a one off and their natural place is finishing on the tails of 6th.

Relegated I reckon

On Betfair Sportsbook NOT Exchange...

Thanks for trying, but need league under National South. I've spoken to Betfair & they said they would try and get odds on league u on website as soon as possible .

If Mr Tumble doesn't have a stellar season in terms of conning referees then I don't know what else Palace have?

I went for Wolves as, going by Facebook / Forums etc, they think they only have to turn up to qualify for Europe this season. I don't recall Newcastle, Hudders or us being so arrogant last season.

Having said that, I agree on the points made about Burnley and Leicester.
