Last season was a case of what might have been for Everton. Blighted by injuries early on in the season, they struggled to get any momentum going until after January, by which point it was too late to mount a serious challenge for European places. That being said, they had a great run of form in the New Year, with key wins against Manchester United and Chelsea. They have already suffered a setback this summer, with the loss of Dan Gosling to Newcastle on a free transfer under odd circumstances. Still, they possess quality in all areas of the pitch when the first team is fit; Cahill, Pienaar looked great at the World Cup while Arteta and Fellaini will be firing on all cylinders again. They have also signed Jermaine Beckford from Leeds which is a welcome boost upfront; expect a top ten finish from the blue half of Merseyside.
Last Season – 8th
My Prediction – 7th
