Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.

Fulham vs Nottingham Forest
The full-time whistle blows at Craven Cottage as Fulham deservedly pick up three points against high-flying Nottingham Forest as well as completing a league double over the Champions League chasers. The Cottagers led thanks to Emile Smith Rowe’s first half header, but were pegged back through Chris Wood’s 18th league goal of the season. However, Marco Silva’s outfit picked up where they left off in the second half as Calvin Bassey headed in a deserved winner. The home side’s dominance throughout the 90 minutes was reflected through an impressive xG of 2.24, whilst the visitors lacked cutting edge in front of goal with an xG of 0.40. The victory moves Fulham into eighth place, five points behind Manchester City in fourth while Forest remain in third place. Thanks for reading!

DOUBLE SAVE! Fulham think they have wrapped the three points up at Craven Cottage but Sels is there to superbly stop Muniz before pushing away the follow-up. That was inches away from being game over!
