The Season So Far

Nothing predictable so far this season, nobody has put together a run that looks like claiming the title.
I tipped Arsenal at the start, but they are only top because nearly all the other teams are having a bad season. Arsenal seem to be coming through their usual injury crisis without too much damage so it's possible?
Man city look the most likely to challenge, but without Kompany they look far from safe at the back, Aguerro is the quality striker in the league but he is looking injury prone. If he stays fit I expect City to finish top but without him City look weak.
Leicester are doing brilliant but you have to worry if they suffer from a few key injuries, but whatever happens they should still finish top 10 which is an achievement.
Man Utd are still a work in progress, but the current 5th place is probably better than their play deserves.
Tottenham look like they will have their best Premier league season, can't pick many faults with their current crop of players.
West Ham and Stoke are possibly over achieving but both should be safe for a top 10 finish.
Crystal Palace are on a sticky patch at the moment and really need a good striker, really don't think Adebeyor fits that bill?
Everton should be doing better, but their defence is really letting them down.
Liverpool will no doubt blow another fortune to try and improve an average squad, but without injury prone Sturridge they haven't improved at all this season.
Chelsea are having a nightmare season, but they should get into the top half by the end but I can't see them challenging for a top 4 position.

At the bottom Aston Villa need a miracle, but I think any of about 8 teams could drop into the relegation spots with them.
I fancy Newcastle and Bournemouth to survive, but teams like West Brom and Watford could get dragged in?
