I think they'll certainly improve on last season, whether that's enough to finish in the top four is another matter though.
Two 4pm kick-offs today...
Cardiff v Man City
The Premier League new boys were as disappointing as City were impressive last weekend, and will need a miracle if they're to get anything out of their first home game of the season. There is some good news though, Andreas Cornelius has recovered from an ankle injury and the big-money striker could make his debut here. Andrew Taylor is available too after completing his suspension.
City will have to do without Vincent Kompany for the next month so Matija Nastasic could be rushed back early to partner Joleon Lescott in defence. Stevan Jovetic has shaken off a hamstring injury and may feature.
Tottenham v Swansea
Both these sides looked impressive in their midweek Europa League ties and are probably happy to playing each other now, with neither gaining an advantage in match preparation.
Gareth Bale is in Spain putting the finishing touches on his Real Madrid move so definitely won't feature. The home side could welcome back Jan Vertonghen and Aaron Lennon though after both sat out the Dinamo Tbilisi game. Emmanuel Adebayor and Lewis Holtby remain sidelined.
Nathan Dyer is still unavailable for Swansea after hurting his hamstring last weekend against Man Utd, but the Welsh side have no other injury concerns.
