We'll find out I guess. I think West Ham last year are a good example of how hard it is to maintain that sort of form and break the 60 point barrier. I think they're going to be in that same group as West Ham, Brighton and maybe another surprise performer.
I like Howe too tbf and I'm not taking away from his impact, just saying it was the ideal environment to work in. This year the expectations (evidently) are not to avoid relegation.
I do think they'll be another awkward team, like Palace and Brighton, to play against. Will be interesting to see what happens against Brighton this weekend.
