Making up the mid-table are Southampton, Bournemouth, Fulham, Newcastle United, Everton and surprisingly taking ninth position, Crystal Palace.
Burnley are tipped to miss out on the Europa league by just one position this season, finishing in eighth, with Leicester predicted to be competing in Europe in the following season by finishing in seventh.
It's bad news for the big boys from the capital however, with Chelsea and Arsenal expected to finish outside of the top four in sixth and fifth respectively. Disappointing seasons are expected for new managers Maurizio Sarri and Unai Emery.
