I know this comparison has been done recently, but it's interesting to see how we stand now versus last season, after 11 games. 11 places, 7 points and 9 goals better off this time around.

Also interesting to note that the 3 teams promoted last season were all in the top 6 at this stage.

2017/18: 6th place, 20 points, goal difference +7

2016/17:
1. Huddersfield Town - 25 points (Goal Difference +6)

2. Norwich City - 23 (GD +6)
3. Newcastle United - 22 (GD +12)
4. Brighton and Hove Albion - 21 (GD +7)
5. Bristol City - 20 (GD +7)

6. Birmingham City - 20 (GD +5)
7. Brentford - 18 (GD +9)
8. Reading - 18 (GD -3)
9. Sheffield Wednesday - 17 (GD -1)
10. Barnsley - 16 (GD +5)
11. Leeds United - 16 (GD -1)
12. Wolverhampton Wanderers - 15 (GD +1)
13. Queens Park Rangers - 15 (GD -3)
14. Fulham - 14 (GD -3)

15. Burton Albion - 13 (GD 0)
16. Ipswich Town - 13 (GD -1)

17. Preston North End - 13 (GD -2)

18. Nottingham Forest - 12 (GD -3)
19. Aston Villa - 10 (GD -2)
20. Derby County - 10 (GD -4)
21. Wigan Athletic - 9 (GD -2)
22. Blackburn Rovers - 8 (GD -8)
23. Cardiff City - 8 (GD -11)
24. Rotherham United - 6 (GD -14)
 
The noticeable thing is that three of the top four got promoted and three out of the bottom four got relegated.
 
I think it will change a lot at the top.

I think Villa will win the league with Wolves second. I will take Middlesbrough to win the play offs.

At the bottom I think 3 of the bottom four will go down: Bolton, Burton and Birmingham.

I have us down for a top half finish just shy of a play off place. Hope I am wrong.
