As things stand, just six points separate fifth place from 17th, and it's looking impossible to predict how the next few months will play out. Brighton have made a solid start to the season under Graham Potter, and are sitting in 11th with 15 points. Here's how the Seagulls rank in Sky Bet's odds for securing a top half finish to the campaign.
13. Wolverhampton Wanderers - 4/9
They're just about coping with the pressures of juggling European football with domestic football, and have improved as the weeks have gone on.
14. Tottenham Hotspur - 1/10
Mauricio Pochettino looks to be hanging onto his job by the skin of his teeth, as Spurs' dream of a bold new era in a shiny new stadium looks a long way off indeed.
15. Manchester United - 1/10
A Champions League place? It doesn't look likely. A top half finish though, is an absolute must for the Red Devils.
16. Arsenal - 1/12
They've one of the most ferocious looking forward lines in the league, and once they tighten up at the back they'll start raking in the points again.
