4) The newly promoted clubs to flounder at the bottom of the league table
Trending
AFC Bournemouth, Norwich City, and Watford were the three newly promoted clubs that were set to compete in the 2015-16 season of the Barclays Premier League. And like any other season, the new kids on the block weren’t given much of a chance by the pundits.
In fact, AFC Bournemouth who were competing in the top tier of English football for the first time in the history of the club along with Watford, who virtually had a new setup, including a new manager and a new bunch of players, were predicted to struggle at the bottom of the league table.
Moreover, the previous stint of the Hornets’ new manager, Quique Sánchez Flores in Getafe where he resigned just after seven weeks citing “personal reasons” was also thought to be a major factor that could deny Watford a safe finish.
However, both the clubs have had a pretty decent season in the Barclays Premier League so far. Watford and Bournemouth currently occupy the 12th and the 13th position on the league table after having played 33 and 34 matches respectively.
Norwich, on the other hand, have proved the pundits right to a certain extent as they currently occupy the 17th position in the league table, which is just above the relegation zone.
