Dont know enough about Sheff U and Luton, but its not looming good for Everton. Their summer business has been bizarre as usual - if you keep buying bottom-end PL players like 38 y/o Ashley Young, you will keep finding yourself in a relegation battle.
Luton, Sheff Utd and one other. I'll go Wolves.
Everton will somehow worm their way out of it again and the other lower-end clubs around them like united and chelsea have just enough firepower to stay up.
I think Luton will catch the odd struggling team out at home, like Forest did last year. Not certain they'll do it often enough though.
Everton look poor but, the past two seasons they've sacked their manager earlier than their rivals and the new guy has then got then over the line.
I haven't watched Sheff United. Fulham will struggle without mitrovic Imo. Agree that wolves don't score enough so they could be in trouble.
Fulham
awful in both their games so far, very fortunate last season - seems like they got a penalty or an opposition player sent off every week

Except at OT in the cup when they conceded a penalty and had about seven red cards
Probs Luton, Sheffield United and a. n. other. Could be Everton's year, they looked pretty desperate yesterday.
Sheff Utd, Luton and Wolves for me… Everton will find a way to stay up and to be fair are not as bad as these sides
The thing is, last seasons Leicester side were far more talented than all these 4 teams put together and still went down. That’s why I am not convinced Everton will stay up - yes they have the better players and more experienced manager but the manner of the third and fourth goal yesterday was just absurd - undone by 2 throw ins, neither of which was Rory Delap like and one of the 2 throw ins was their own!!!

Luton will have a lot of spirit that won’t diminish even if results are going against them - the fans will be 100% behind them and the “Kenny” will be rocking with each home game - they won’t be nearly as bad as some people think, they are a big horrible side that don’t mind going route one, we’ve seen it work before.
Wouldn’t be shocked to see the 3 promoted teams go back down this time.
Wolves aren’t great but still have some quality imo.
This could be one of those seasons where all 3 promoted sides go straight back down. Mainly due to their shoestring budget models.
Luton did well to earn promotion despite running on one of the smallest budgets in the Championship. And they haven't exactly done much during this transfer window. Premier League survival is probably going to be a bridge too far for them.
Ditto Burnley and Sheffield. But on a more moderate scale.
There is a lot of absolute dross in the Prem. Any three of 12 could drop. Don't rule out clubs like Bournemouth, Palace etc.
Think Wolves have been unlucky so far, outplayed Man U away and should have won the game or at the very least got a draw.
Then played well against a very good Brighton side, 4-1 flattered Brighton.
Think they will be fine and see them as more as a mid table team with how they have played so far.
Everton were poor against Villa but should have beaten Fulham.
People looking at results too much rather than how teams have actually played.
I'd pick Sheff Utd, Luton and Forest for the drop
Wolves 100% down. In fact, where is that Wolves clown that used to frequent the Spurs boards trying to be relevant? Not so cocky now

Minciwolf!! 🤣
In the build up to Villa going down they had a number of poor seasons where they just about managed to avoid the drop. During this time they brought in managers and players that undiscovered tribes knew wouldn't stop the inevitable slide into the Championship and of course that's where they ended up.
Everton appear to be heading in the same direction and the only thing that may save them is that there are plenty of other very average teams in the Prem this season.

I’ve watched Everton, and yes they should have beaten Fulham, but it’s the same old problem that without DCL they just can’t score goals and they are leaky at the back - it’s a recipe for relegation, the only thing that is likely to save them is that Sheff U and Luton look well out of their depth at this level and so Everton will only have to be better than one other team.
The goals they conceded yesterday were faaacking farcical though, Dyche said he would have subbed the whole team if he could - that’s very telling
I'd always back the big club (Everton) to stay up as they have more resources to change things in the latter part of the season.

They also are crippled by FFP. Hence why they signed and are starting Ashley faaaacking Young
The first year it was Goodison that got them out of trouble. Last year it was pure luck - Leicester miss a penalty to go 3-1 up and instead the game ends 2-2 a week earlier they somehow beat Brighton away 5-1 and even then they needed Goodison again in the last game to scrape them over the line with a 1-0 win against an already safe and on the beach Bournemouth.

This is all true. Even so, these small margins are more likely to go in the favour of the bigger club simply because helpful people will gravitate towards them.
Doubt Wolves will go down. They're worse than last season (absolutely facked over by actually trying to stick to FFP) but I think there are at least 3 teams worse than them. They'll do enough to scrape it. But depending on who comes up they'll keep drifting closer and closer to the trapdoor every season.
Everton may well go down.
