For the first time in several years, not all of the teams who have been promoted are being tipped for relegation this season. In fact, two of the three teams, Fulham and Wolves, are among the biggest spenders in the league this season. Cardiff, on the other hand, don't look as though they are going to fare too well.

Wolves' penchant for Portuguese players has seen them sign Rui Patricio and Joao Moutinho in two of the most impressive transfers of the Summer, while Fulham have brought in the likes of Mitrovic and Andre Schurrle.

Both team's managers will no doubt insist that survival is their aim, but given the amount of cash both teams have spent, there is a fair chance they could push into the top half. Amazingly, some bookmakers have Wolves down as seventh favourites to win the league this campaign.

Cardiff have not spent anywhere near as well, and they look to have a real battle to stay on their hands to stay in the Premier League. Warnock did an excellent job at getting the Bluebirds into the top flight last year, but like their last visit to the Premier League, this one probably won't last very long.
