Premier League....Champions League Spot Battle.....More Potential Upset (PART 2)

Yesterday, we reviewed the present situation and the potential 'Top 4' candidates this season.Today, we'll review the present clubs that can cause potential upsets to the teams we discussed yesterday.Thereby, stirring up competitions for the 8 teams discussed previously.Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, Everton, Aston Villa & Tottenham obviously looks like the most likely teams for europe spots this season (Champions League & Europa League).How they will finish remains another thing entirely.Although, games against each other will definately determine their respective seasons.However, some games against these teams(i regard as potential upsets) will definately spice up their seasons. While this 'potential upsets' might not be teams who can win consistently, they are teams that can prove stubborn, squeeze points, or atimes even win games.
First of cause is Fulham, Europa League participants of this term, are obviously the closest to the 'Potential Top 8'.They probably might be edged out by the fact that they are playing 3 competitions at a time, which is not the case of the City Billionaires(Who will play 2 at a time).They also don't have that recent record that can see them likely top 8 this season.Last season, they proved their resilience.They also should have gotten points from their early Arsenal game this term, if not for Vito Mannone's excellent performance.
Burnley, yet to lose a point at home this season, are another team to look out for this season.Among their home victories include defending champions,Man Utd.Their early Home fortress, could be prove a basis for their success this term. Another team to watch out for is West Ham, they are always capable of spring up upsets especially for their London rivals. They have played well this term and have lost some points they could have picked, considering their games e.g Tottenham.
Sunderland is another possible team that can cause an upset, this has already been highlighted with their recent Man Utd game were they almost pulled all 3 points before Anton's own goal.Stoke City,last terms performance also shows they could pull some great upsets also, Other teams are Blackburn, Bolton,Birmingham and Wigan
Still more to come tomorrow, when the point of discussion will be the relegation possible teams
