Supercomputer Predicts 2024-25 Premier League Table

A supercomputer has predicted the 2024-25 Premier League table. Unfortunately for the rest of the division, it looks set to be another successful one for Manchester City. Last term bore out a title race full of twists and turns as Arsenal were part of three teams challenging for the biggest honour in English domestic football. Liverpool fell away eventually, leaving City to do their thing.

Indeed, Pep Guardiola’s men powered to a record fourth consecutive Premier League title, while Mikel Arteta and co fell short by just two points – despite picking up two more wins than the Invincibles managed. The Reds claimed third place, while Aston Villa just edged Spurs to grab the final Champions League spot.

At the other end of the table, newly promoted teams Sheffield United, Burnley and Luton Town all went down, with Nottingham Forest and Everton surviving despite point deductions. After all the drama, 2024-25 looks set to be another thrilling campaign.

According to Bettingexpert via The Sun, a supercomputer has predicted how the division will shape up next season. The latest update comes after Man City and Arsenal played out a 2-2 spectacle in the first real big game of the season.

Champions League and European Spots

Chelsea return to the top four

It appears as though Man City are favourites to lift another title, which should come as no surprise. They have, after all, won six of the last seven Premier League trophies, but this could possibly be Guardiola’s final campaign – with the FA ready to hand him the England job if he does depart.

It’s more pain predicted for Arsenal who are tipped to finish behind City in second place for the third consecutive campaign. They also end up on 77 points, which is a surprising 11 fewer than they managed most recently, which would not go down well with demanding boss Arteta.

Enzo Maresca has been tipped for a very successful debut campaign at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea predicted to finish fourth on 67 points, just behind Liverpool, whose defence is tipped to help them finish exactly where they did last term, which would be a decent achievement for new head coach Arne Slot as he has the difficult task of replacing much-loved club icon Jurgen Klopp.

Having given Erik ten Hag another chance, amid wide speculation that he would leave, Manchester United’s gamble is expected to pay off, as they just miss out on the top four by finishing fifth with 64 points, but could still bag a Champions League spot depending on how England rank in the UEFA coefficient. Striking the right balance between focussing on Champions League and Premier League football, Aston Villa have been predicted to finish one place below them in sixth, but with only one less point (63).

Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur are expected to repeat last year’s disappointment, but managing three points fewer to once again come in at seventh. Meanwhile, Newcastle United are proposed to finish eighth – which could ultimately see Eddie Howe’s position become endangered under the club’s ambitious Saudi leadership.

Mid-Table Obscurity

Nottingham Forest will be content

Despite a tough start to the 2024/25 campaign, West Ham are expected to finish inside the top half, while in-form Brighton – who are yet to lose going into game week six – are expected to continue in fine fettle and only just miss out on potential Europa Conference League football by coming ninth. Shockingly, Crystal Palace have been tipped to fall all the way down to 15th, with last season’s redemption arc failing to transform from temporary into permanence for the Eagles under Oliver Glasner.

Brentford and Bournemouth have also had a successful start to the season, but are expected to still finish as lowly as 14th and 15th. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest have been tipped to finish in the bottom half of the league, but well away from any potential relegation danger as Nuno Espirito Santo navigates an uptick in form, having recently stunned Anfield with their first league away victory against Liverpool since 1969.

Relegation Zone

Bad news for Ipswich

Wolverhampton Wanderers and Everton are expected to dangerously linger just above the relegation zone, but ultimately finish 16th and 17th on 39 and 38 points respectively. In truth, the supercomputer doesn’t think there will be much drama at the bottom of the table as we enter the business end of the campaign. Leicester City have been tipped to go down in 18th, and they are expected to have a fair amount fewer points than the Toffees in 17th with just 33, meaning the relegation battle could be concluded pretty early.

Similarly, newly-promoted Southampton have been tipped to go straight back down to the Championship in 19th with 29 points, and considering they’ve lost all but one of their first five games to start the season (drawing the other 1-1 at home against Ipswich), that won’t surprise many.

Finally, poor old Ipswich Town are backed to end their first season in the top flight in 22 years with a whimper. The Tractor Boys will muster a measly 28 points, which is thankfully still much better than Derby County’s 11 in 2008, the lowest total in Premier League history.
