This season is seeing the three promoted teams struggle more than any previous season I can remember since I started following football in 1998. Conversely, relegated Leicester are tearing the Championship apart.

With nearly all Premier League teams owned by foreign owners and the amount of revenue the league brings in, is the gulf in quality between the two divisions growing even more do you think?

    This season seems to be a bit of an anomaly.

    Sheffield United weren’t great last season yet finished 2nd and have a crap manager.

    Luton are a plucky little team that play dour football (averaged one and a half goals a game last season) and, when relegated, won’t be seen again in the Premier League for a long time, if ever.

    Burnley played quality football last season, but Kompany seems to think he can be a stubborn as Pep is about his style of play, without realising that he hasn’t got a billion pound squad…
