Which promoted team has the best chance of surviving in the Premiership?
We usually see the teams who come up struggle in the Premiership, who do we all think will have the best chance of staying up?

I'm gonna go Sunderland, Wigan have signed no one so far and are really struggling to find someone interested. West Ham have a chance but I don't think they have a good enough squad at the moment.

Promoted teams are on a bit of a roll at the moment, it's been a while since all 3 went back down.
I'll be brave and throw a Wigan vote out there. They were the only ones last season that always looked like going up and really dominated a lot of the season. How this will translate to EPL I dont know!

Sunderland should avoid the drop and so should West Ham but I dont know WT about Wigan. For the Filan link I would love them to avoid it but if they havent been active in the market they may struggle.

WIGAN! Best team in Div 1 last year so who's to say they won't do it. Besides one of the other Vollies played for Wigan so I'll be nice.
*sob* wish I was checking a box that said Leeds

On a side note, if one or more of these teams is to survive, who will go down?
West Brom surely, Pompey, and they might be another season or two away but my dark horses are charlton and toon

Toon won't go nor will Charlton (curbishly is a great manager).
For me it will be WBA, Wigan and West Ham if they don't make a decent signing
but in saying that WBA have made a couple of ok signings in Kirkland and Watson

I feel without Curbishley they would struggle because their squad just seems bland to me but I guess curbs has the players there to play how he wants. Think they've been on the slide since parker left. I reckon if they have a shit start to the season and curbs goes then they might drop straight out. |

They'll be going up, I've got them doing it on a playoff (just to appease Dad, against Luton Town  ) They've sold players but have got better ones than they sold, they'll do better this year, definatley in the playoffs |

I can't see Wigan surviving, particularly in their first season in the top flight .. I'm tipping Wigan, West Brom and maybe Pompey or West Ham to go down .. still 38 games to go though!

Wigan, Sunderland, WBA to go.
West Ham will be ok, as I reckon Blackburn, Pomey and Fulham will all struggle this season.
3-1 is a good start....
