It’s that time of the year again when the Royal Blue Mersey crew get together and come up with their predictions for the upcoming season in the following categories -
Premier League Top 6, Everton position, Premier League Bottom 3, FA Cup Winner, Everton FA Cup, EFL Cup Winner, Everton EFL Cup, Premier League Golden Boot Winner, Everton Golden Boot Winner, Premier League Player of the Year, Everton Player of the Year.
So here we go with the writers’ 2023/24 Premier League season predictions, let’s have your predictions in the comments section below as well, and then we can compare notes as usual at the end of the season.
Not unexpectedly, the optimism for Everton is not high. Last season’s second consecutive relegation battle along with a stop-start summer transfer window means there’s almost no confidence that the Blues will even contend for a top half of the table finish.
There’s little hope that the trophy drought ends this season making it 29 barren years, and almost no hope that we can make to Europe either. More and more this is looking like yet another development season where the Blues continue to clear out deadwood while Kevin Thelwell and Sean Dyche rebuild the squad and playing style while trying to stay within the Premier League Profit & Sustainability regulation, even with a hearing with an independent tribunal looming in October.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Arnaut Danjuma split the vote for top scorer for the Blues, while there a number of different shouts for the Toffees’ Player of the Year, including the current holder of the title Jordan Pickford, as well as DCL, Danjuma, Ashley Young, and James Tarkowski also getting votes.
