Leicester City, Everton or Wolves to Gatecrash the Top Six?
There's been talk of one of the so-called small teams potentially
finishing in the top six ahead of the usual big guns.
We discuss the newly-appointed Mamelodi Sundowns' Director of Academy and Scouting. We also take a look at the teams that can finish in the Premier League top six ahead of Manchester United and Chelsea. Listen to the podcast and read more on the blog below.
Wolves played so well last season which earned the "best of the rest" tag as they gave the big teams a run for their money and finished seventh.
That has somewhat backfired this season as it means that have to participate in the Europa League with a squad that lacks depth. I don't see them upsetting the top six.
The only two teams I'm worried about are Everton and Leicester City mainly because of the way they started the season.
Leicester will be emboldened by the fact that they won the league not so long ago and cementing their spot in the top four or top six should be an easier task. They also have a great coach in Brendan Rodgers who won two back-to-back Scottish Premiership titles and finished second with Liverpool a few years ago.
Everton will push everyone to the limit but I think they will fall short due to lack of experience. I am now making a bold prediction and saying Leicester will finish in the top six and either Manchester United or Chelsea will miss out.
