Supercomputer Predicts 2025-26 Premier League Table in Full

 

Summary

 

Despite spending a fortune, reigning champions Liverpool are not predicted to win the 2025-26 Premier League title.

 

Relegated sides could struggle to stay up again, with promoted Leeds, Burnley, Sunderland facing challenges.

 

Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United, following their worst-ever Premier League season, are predicted to improve.

 

As we approach the start of the new season, a Supercomputer has already predicted the 2025-26 Premier League table. Last term, everyone had expected Manchester City to rule the roost again, but it was Liverpool – under new manager Arne Slot – who would end up winning their 20th English league crown at a canter, reclaiming their perch as the country’s most successful club.

 

There were no bonus points handed to those who guessed that Arsenal would finish second – having now achieved that feat three successive seasons on the spin now – while Pep Guardiola’s side’s end-of-season form saw them just about claim third. Other narratives drawn up were that of Nottingham Forest’s surprise run to European qualification, while Tottenham and Manchester United slipped to their worst-ever league campaigns since the 1992 rebranding.

 

Predicting the 2025-26 Premier League Table

All of the above is still fresh in the memory, but football never sleeps, and predictions for the upcoming season have been drawn up. The predictions below are compiled by a Supercomputer, via a report from The Mirror, which has simulated the league season based on the released fixture list. Without further ado, let’s take a look at the predicted winners and losers of the 2025-26 Premier League season.

 

Relegation Zone

 

All three promoted sides tipped to go straight back down

 

A concerning pattern at the foot of the table is tipped to continue next season. In 2024/25, the three promoted teams all went straight back down and that could well be the fate for Leeds United, Burnley and Sunderland, should the Supercomputer prove to be correct.

 

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: If all three promoted sides went straight back down next season, it would mark the third consecutive Premier League season where that has happened.

 

However, the projections do suggest that this trio will at least put up a stronger fight than last season’s hair-tearing campaign. Leeds United are expected to finish bottom, but with 12 more points than Southampton managed last term. Sunderland are tipped for a 19th-placed finish, but 10 points better off than Ipswich Town were. While Burnley will also miss survival, racking up 35 points – 10 more than Leicester City achieved this past season.

Bottom Half

 

Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest just about avoid relegation

 

Brighton & Hove Albion impressed under boss Fabian Hurzeler last season, securing European football with an eighth-placed finish last term. It’s not predicted to be as fruitful this time around, however, as the supercomputer has them in 11th, just outside the top half. The same can be said for Vitor Pereira’s Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are without Matheus Cunha.

 

The loss of the talismanic Brazilian is set to be detrimental – but they are expected to improve on last season’s finish of 16th. This season, the Black Country outfit are predicted to finish 12th, one place ahead of Brentford. The capital club head into the new season without Thomas Frank at the helm, but the release of the fixture list has resulted in a slight drop for the Bees.

 

Fulham fans, who were labeled among the Premier League’s most deluded according to one recent study, are also unlikely to be thrilled with a predicted 14th-place under Marco Silva, going backwards and perhaps highlighting the need to retain star men.

 

Crystal Palace, too, are expected to move backwards as the English top flight continues to grow in difficulty. After winning the FA Cup, those that support the Selhurst Park outfit will be expecting big things in the 2025-26 campaign – but the Supercomputer forecasts a 15th-placed finish, three places behind where they managed to finish last season.

 

Every Premier League Club’s 2024/25 Season Graded

 

Andoni Iraola’s fine first season in charge at the Vitality Stadium fails to continue amid the loss of Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez as his Bournemouth side are predicted to move down from ninth to 16th. The Cherries are predicted to hit the 43-point mark, which is a still a decent outcome given they had long been yo-yoing between the Premier League and the Championship.

 

Nottingham Forest were the surprise package of the 2024-25 campaign, but a projected 17th-place finish next season will likely serve as a reality check as they look to juggle European football with domestic demands. Retaining Morgan Gibbs-White’s services for another season, predictably, doesn’t pay dividends as they, just about, survive the drop zone.

Top Half

 

Man Utd and Tottenham, last season’s Europa League finalists, feature

 

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim is already under huge scrutiny, and it’s unlikely he’d remain in the job if the Red Devils endure a similar season in 2025-26. The Supercomputer, though, expects them to finish just outside the top four. They are expected to pick up 34 points more than the 42 they managed last season, which would mark a major improvement.

 

Aston Villa, one of two clubs staking a serious claim to the ‘new big six’ status, are not expected to reclaim their place in the Champions League – instead, they are to finish sixth according to the Supercomputer. That’s one place higher than Thomas Frank’s Tottenham Hotspur, who enter the new season as the reigning Europa League champions.

 

Spurs, following a hodgepodge summer, are evidently looking to break into the top four under new management – but the Supercomputer believes they’ll finish on 67 points. Another Champions League adventure is also not on the cards for the Eddie Howe project. The Englishman is proving that patience is a virtue under his mega-rich hierarchy, but the intensity of the Premier League may prove too much.

Following Alexander Isak’s potential departure, Newcastle United’s eighth-placed finish could mean they retain their place in European competition, albeit at a lesser level. And (finally!), there is an improvement at the London Stadium. West Ham United are projected to move five places up to ninth next season as the Hammers reach 60 points.

 

Those associated with Everton will be pretty pleased with their projected finish. The club, especially with their stadium move coming amid David Moyes’ impressive return, are looking to change the fortunes of the Toffees – and the Supercomputer forecasts a 10th-place finish, three places and eight points better off in comparison to last season’s domestic exploits.

Arsenal collapse while Man City run out triumphant

 

Liverpool have not been backed to retain their Premier League crown by a Supercomputer that has predicted a near carbon copy of this season’s top three. Slot’s men, as mentioned, won the title at their own pace last time out – but Manchester City are predicted to retain their status as champions in what could well be Pep Guardiola’s swansong.

 

“Even without any seismic squad changes, their machine-like system – powered by Omar Marmoush, Phil Foden, the returning Rodri, and a 36-goal season from Erling Haaland – keeps them dominant.”

 

The reigning champions’ early transfer activity, with Jeremie Frimpong replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold and Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez following the Dutchman to Anfield, will look to help them extend their dominance but, despite the reinforcements, it’s expected to not be enough. That could change, though, if they manage to secure Isak’s services.

 

“Arne Slot’s rebuilt side will feature a potent attack – with Mo Salah alongside new signings Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz. But their defence will let them down against top teams, causing them to slip to third in the title race.”

 

The All-Time Premier League Table

 

The chasm at the top is tipped to shrink: it’ll be just four points, compared to the 10-point cushion that Liverpool enjoyed at the summit last season. Meanwhile, Arsenal’s runners-up run is expected to continue. This could prove costly for Mikel Arteta, especially if the Gunners fall short with Sweden sharpshooter Viktor Gyokeres spearheading his attack.

 

In fourth is Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea, who enter the new season with the tag of ‘Champions of the World’ after beating Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup final. The Blues are predicted to stumble into the top four, securing Champions League football in the process – and in 2025-26, a points tally of 79 is expected, which is six behind third-placed Liverpool.
