Everton are really good this year. They are overachieving but only because their team of players aren't as capable as some other teams including us. They are set up well, believe is good, tactics are good, it's a team. But I think they will fall short in a similar way to how Newcastle did a couple of seasons ago.
Liverpool are very similar to Everton this year, but the difference there is that they do have a world class forward in Suarez. He is a cunt, but he is a great footballer and if he stays injury free then they will continue to push us hard for fourth.
United aren't a serious threat this year IMO. They have a few very good players, but they have injuries, some of the best players have aged, a lack of belief, lots of pressure, bad form and a manager who isn't big enough for the role.
I think we are favourites personally. I'd be pretty confident of getting 31 points out of the next 16 and I think we will need that extra point this year because it is going to be tight. We have good form, a big squad, talent in most positions, big players to come back from injury soon, a striker who is scoring goals. The only question for me is whether our manager is good enough - so far, he has suggested that he is. But there are 16 games to go so we will have to see how he does.
Woolwich are likely to get third I think - but you never know, they could slip up badly if things start going against them and they see the tropies disapearing again for at least another season.

edit: Also, haven't they changed the CL qualification rules to include the 4th team now, even if another team outside the top four win it. I thought I read that they changed that so that it won't happen again?
