6. Aston Villa in the relegation zone already
Last season, Tim Sherwood injected new life into a struggling Villa Park outfit. This season, the same scoring woes that had them dangerously close to relegation in the middle of the season have reared their ugly heads again.
There’s no doubt that the loss of Christian Benteke caused a drop-off in quality, but for the Premier League mainstays to be struggling this much could make 2015-16 one of the worst seasons in their long history.
