Given we have a break in league games for the international games and there are no games to discuss this weekend, I'll ask a different question: do you guys see any potential dark horse this season, i.e. a team that people do not expect too much from, but can turn up surprising everyone e.g. by ending up in the top 4 etc?
Yes - they are Newcastle, Brighton and Aston Villa.
Manchester United and Chelsea are not underdogs - they are widely expected to finish in the top four and qualify for next season's Champions League. But either way - I can't possibly rule out Tottenham for a top 4 spot.

I have a favorite order and here is the list:
1. Manchester City
2. Liverpool
3. Arsenal
4. Tottenham
5. Chelsea
6. Brighton
7. Manchester United
8. Newcastle
9. Aston Villa
I doubt if Manchester united and Chelsea will finish at the top 4 position given the realities on ground, looking at their pattern of play from last season up until this season which is without much improvement, I doubt if both teams stand a chance of being at the top 4 at the end of the season. Of course they are not underdogs but they are among the average team who are struggling to be among the top 10.
I totally agree with your top 9 favorite order, except for the fact Newcastle would have gone up a little maybe replacing Brighton.
