Premier League predictions: Title race, top four battle and survival scrap assessed

The wait is finally over as the Premier League returns on Wednesday night after more than three months.

Liverpool are on the verge of being crowned champions but there is still plenty to play for at both ends of the table.

Fourth-place Chelsea will be looking to fend off the challenge of Manchester United, Wolves and Sheffield United to secure their spot in next season's Champions League.

At the bottom, West Ham and Watford are hovering dangerously above the drop zone, with only goal difference separating them from Bournemouth, who occupy the final relegation place.

But who will finish where come the end of the campaign? Our reporters have their say:
