Brighton are jokers, don't take them too seriously. It's really not how far but how well. Aston Villa will go far in the Champions League Competition but I can't boast of them in the Premier League Competition with the too many games to be played. I'd say Newcastle United but much has been expected from them for the past two seasons and they've done nothing. Too much criticisms and pressure has been taken off Eddie Howe. I do feel like the pressure on Erik Ten Hag should be on Eddie Howe after all of the money spent, he's achieved nothing for them and this would be his third season in charge.
As per the list, I'd rank them this way;
Arsenal
Manchester City
Manchester United
Chelsea
Newcastle United
Liverpool
Tottenham Hotspur
Aston Villa
Brighton
Brighton are doing well for the level the club is ranked. Since they arrived in the premier league they have done so well to remain in the league unlike some other clubs like Leicester City who fell down the pecking order after winning the league title. Brighton are a business minded club and they need to stay relevant in the league to keep closing those big deals. Newcastle on the other hand are overhyped because of their current financial strength but with all the money they, Newcastle have not been able to perform in top competitions against other big clubs.
