Alan Shearer has cast his eye over the upcoming Premier League and believes the status quo could remain at the top and the bottom.

They'll be wanting to snap the concerning recent trend that has seen promoted teams head straight back to the Championship.

However, Shearer has tipped all three to enjoy just one year in the Premier League before they go back down.



That would mark the third year in succession that the three promoted teams cannot survive in what is a concerning trend, further highlighting the gulf between the top flight and the second tier.

Arsenal have been tipped to finish second for the fourth year running - which will not please Mikel Arteta.

Despite adding reinforcements Shearer hasn't backed Pep Guardiola and Co.

Tottenham have embarked on a new era, sacking Ange Postecoglou despite his European success.

Thomas Frank has a tough job on his hands but Shearer has backed them to finish in eighth, narrowly behind Aston Villa.

West Ham too have been tipped to have a difficult year despite Graham Potter getting a first full season in charge in London.

For the likes of Everton and Crystal Palace it is another safe year of mid-table football.
