Here is part 4 of Mystic Jarv's premier league preview. This one covers Newcastle, Stoke, Sunderland and Spurs. If you have missed the three previous instalments they can be found here, Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3. Also don't forget to get your team ready for our fantasy football game this season, there are still 2 days to enter but time is running out fast.

Newcastle United
Last season's Championship winners but this season will present itself in a whole new light. Expectation of greatness is the norm on tyneside but it would be one very biased Newcastle fan to even contemplate anything other than survival this time around as being a good season. My opinion is they will survive but need to get off to a good start .

Key Men: Andy Carroll will need to get them some goals and Nolan and Barton will need to be at the top of their game in the middle and they may just surprise a few people.

What do they need: To get off to a good start and consign the almost Circus like antics in the board room in recent years to the past.

Mystic Jarv's prediction: Fifteenth

Stoke City
Finished last season in a comfortable eleventh place and didn't look at any stage to be in trouble or to be dragged into the relegation dog fight. Another season of the same would likely please most Stoke fans. Lets face it the alternative is a return to weekly trips to places like Blackpool…….oh wait!

Key Man: Rory Delap's long throw.

What do they need: To continue how they have been for the last 2 seasons, make themselves hard to beat.

Mystic Jarv's prediction: Eleventh

Sunderland
Last season was mixed for Sunderland, at one point flirting with a Europa league space then slipping down to 13th. I personally see much the same for them in terms of finishing. They have a good team but not spectacular. A top 10 (just) finish may be possible but I believe there are 11 stronger teams this season.

Key Men: Lee Cattermole is very important to Sunderland offering some bite and steel to the centre of midfield. Darren Bent, Main goal threat along side Kenwyne Jones who needs a good season (20+ Goals) to justify the hype.

What they need: Jones and Bent to score plenty of goals and Craig Gordon to return quickly if they cannot find better cover.

Mystic Jarv's prediction: Twelfth

Tottenham Hotspur
Will this seasons jaunt into the Champions league be a distraction for spurs, will they even make it past the qualifiers. Personally I hope they do qualify but regardless I think they will struggle to maintain finishing in the top 4.

Key Men: Ledley King, quite frankly their defences is a whole lot better when he is fit and playing although Dawson had a good season last year. Defoe is likely to be their main goal threat once again and Luka Modric will pull the strings in midfield.

What they need: Either Woodgate to be fit long term or another really really good centre back as King cannot be relied on to play 40 games a season. General squad strengthening all round if they are to run deep into the Champions League and stay in the top 4.

Mystic Jarv's prediction: Fifth

The last part will be tomorrow
