It is that time of year again, for what is turning into annual tradition on this blog: my Premier League prediction table. Last season’s attempt to predict who would finish where saw me correctly name five places, with another six guesses being one position away, as well as being accurate in picking City as FA Cup winners, QPR to be first in the Championship. That’s almost matching The Guardian’s own guesses (spot on five times, close seven times). As Kryten would say: “ah; smug mode.”

I originally set out to not pick more than three players for a team, but as I worked things out, this rule did not need to be utilised. What this resulted in, is the XI best players from the North-West this season, in my opinion.
