"Norwich, for me, are the most equipped to stay up, simply because they have players who have been there before. That extra bit of experience of being there before and going through it means a lot.

"If I was to put a bet on who will stay up it would be on Norwich. Watford and Bournemouth I fear for."

Both teams are waiting to come out at Carrow Road, with very dramatic music blaring out of the PA system.

The referee today by the way is Simon Hooper, who officiated Norwich's opener against Wolves last season, and was shoved by Canaries defender Martin Olsson.

"Alan Pardew did a magnificent job to get Palace to 10th last season and this ambitious manager will hope for as good again this season.

"The signing of France international midfielder Yohan Cabaye from PSG is both a statement of intent and something of a gamble at £13m. He needs to come off but it was a move that sent optimism and hope soaring.

"With Patrick Bamford in from Chelsea and Connor Wickham signed at a slightly pricey £7m from Sunderland there may be firepower to add to the maverick gifts of the powerful Yannick Bolasie, who can be unstoppable on his day.

"Palace will not be in trouble but maybe just go a little easy on too much expectation."

Phil predicts: 12th

Will Cabaye be the signing of the season? Was Brady worth £7m? 

Will the Canaries defy the pundits and stay up? Can Palace push into the top half and beyond?

"Norwich City produced one of the appointments of last season when 34-year-old manager Alex Neil came from Hamilton - guiding the Canaries to promotion brilliantly via a play-off final win against Middlesbrough.

"This remains such a well-run club and the sell-out notices will be out all season at Carrow Road. This may be a relegation tip but Norwich City could just gather enough momentum under a fiercely driven and ambitious manager to avoid the drop.

"Some shrewd summer signings such as Graham Dorrans and Youssouf Mulumbu from West Bromwich Albion will add experience while Robbie Brady impressed in a relegated Hull City side last season.

"Survival will be the aim and if they prove this prediction wrong I will be delighted for all at Carrow Road."

Phil predicts: 18th

Who's got two thumbs and is excited about the new season? 

This guy.

It's a crystal clear, sunny day at Carrow Road. I hear it's like that all the time in Norfolk.
