8) Southampton
7) Tottenham
6) Everton
5) Manchester United
The Saints finished eighth last term, and despite selling nearly all their best players and losing their manager, CIES think they’ll repeat the feat in 2014/15. United who finished seventh, are predicted to leapfrog Spurs and Everton to fifth, which after spending ludicrous amounts of money in the transfer window, is the very least their fans would expect.
