Predicted Premier League Table 2013-14
13th. Sunderland
Sunderland should have an interesting season under Paolo Di Canio. Sunderland have made the most changes of any Premier League side bringing in eight new players to date with eight going out. Di Canios team could go either way this season. They may struggle and be fighting relegation or could flourish and be pushing for a top 10 finish. I cant decide which way it will go and Ive sat on the fence and placed them in 13th place. Personally, I dont see Sunderland being involved in any relegation troubles but it is possible if the players cant adapt to Di Canios unique style of management. The loss of last years Player of the Year Simon Mignolet to Liverpool will be a blow. Key player: Stephane Sessegnon Transfers in so far: Emanuele Giaccherini from Juventus for £6.5 million. El-Hadji Ba from Le Havre B on a free transfer. Jozy Altidore from AZ Alkmaar for £6 million. Vito Mannone from Arsenal for £2 million. David Moberg Karlsson from IFK Goteborg for £1.5 million.
