Supercomputer Predicts 2025-26 Premier League Table in Full

Following the opening seven gameweeks, the Supercomputer has updated its prediction for the final 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.

All of the above is still fresh in the memory, but football never sleeps, and predictions for the new season have already been drawn up. The forecasts below are compiled by a Supercomputer, with the help of Plejmo, which has simulated the league season based on the released fixture list and what we learned from the opening seven weekends. Without further ado, let’s take a look at the predicted winners and losers of the 2025-26 Premier League season.

Relegation Zone

A worrying trend at the foot of the table is tipped to finally come to an end this season. In both 2023/24 and 2024/25, all three promoted sides went straight back down. But if the Supercomputer’s latest projections are correct, Leeds United and Sunderland will survive this time around after the latter finds themselves in fifth after seven matches, losing just twice.

This does mean, however, that Burnley are tipped to go down in 20th. West Ham are projected to continue to suffer after Graham Potter’s sacking has called upon the services of Nuno Espirito Santo, and they are expected to gain only 40 points across 38 games to see them go down in 18th. The Supercomputer also believes Wolves – the only side still looking for their first victory after seven games – will also be unable to reverse early damage, shipping 78 goals to find themselves 19th.

Remarkably, the Supercomputer predicts that just eight points will separate the Clarets in 20th from Leeds United in 15th, setting up a relegation battle that could stretch the full 12 rounds and still be decided in the dying minutes of the final day. Daniel Farke is doing a respectable job of achieving Premier League safety at Elland Road so far, with their heavy defeat to Arsenal the only time they haven’t looked like earning something from a fixture.

Bottom Half

The Red Devils appear to be grappling with a continuation of the issues that plagued them last term under Ruben Amorim, and a repeat of last season’s finishing position seems far from impossible, as their new signings have made little impact so far. After their 2-0 win over Sunderland, which marked the first time they’ve got a clean sheet all season, the supercomputer has them in 14th, but only a singular victory above the dread dotted line.

Everton were tipped by many fans as potential dark horses for the 2025/26 campaign. With fresh American ownership, a new stadium, and exciting attacking reinforcements like Jack Grealish arriving over the summer, manager David Moyes seemed well-equipped to start building something special at Bramley-Moore Docks.

If the Supercomputer’s prediction of a 12th-place finish proves accurate, it surely wouldn’t sit well at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Losses to Liverpool and Leeds are their only shortcomings so far this campaign, and even then, it was felt both of those results were undeserved after then going on to end Crystal Palace’s 19-game unbeaten run.

Ranking Every Premier League Manager by How Likely They Are to Be Sacked

The 20 managers at every Premier League club by how likely they are to be sacked next.

Brighton & Hove Albion are forecast to slip three places to 11th as the Premier League grows more competitive. A positive transfer window – headlined by Maxim De Cuyper and Charalampos Kostoulas – should give young manager Fabian Hurzeler enough to keep the Seagulls inside the race for European spots, even if their early form had been somewhat shaky. A late collapse saw them draw 1-1 with Fulham, followed by a 2-0 defeat to Everton, but their spirited comeback win over Manchester City in gameweek three quickly restored belief.

Meanwhile, Fulham’s projected 13th-place finish would see them finish in the exact same position from the 2024/25 season. The Cottagers continue to struggle to break through the glass ceiling and fully realise their potential, unlike other clubs around them that have managed to kick on and evolve.

Top Half

Nottingham Forest now seem set to face the consequences of parting ways with Nuno Espirito Santo. Under Ange Postecoglou’s erratic management, the team are yet to win after seven attempts, which has included a 3-2 loss to Championship side Swansea City in the League Cup after leading 2-0. When it rains, it pours, and a 10th-place finish would be unacceptable for a team that earned Europa League qualification just 12 months ago with largely the same squad.

Considering Aston Villa have only managed to win twice after seven Premier League games this season, they would be thrilled with a ninth-placed finish right now. PSR issues have stunted the Unai Emery project, but a 3-1 win over Fulham should hopefully get them firing again as Ollie Watkins finally broke his duck, before Donyell Malen scored twice to beat Burnley 2-1 the following week.

Michael Owen Predicts Final 2025/26 Premier League Table – Makes Big Spurs Call

The former England striker has gone all-out in his predictions for Liverpool in the 2025/26 campaign.

Even with Alexander Isak sealing a record transfer to Liverpool, Newcastle United are still expected to finish eighth. Anthony Elanga, Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa are set to step up, hoping to fill the big Swede’s sizeable boots. A combination of decent home form, a rock-solid defence, and a manager who knows English football better than the back of his hand should be enough for them to stay strong, even in the face of last gasp defeats to Liverpool and Arsenal.

After a 17th-place finish last year, Tottenham fans would be enamoured by a fifth-place finish this season, with new signing Mohammed Kudus already making an impact, providing two assists in a 4-0 win over Burnley, before Joao Palhinha was the star of the show in their second outing, which saw Frank’s new side claim a 2-0 win over Manchester City.

Frank’s side’s first loss came against none other than Bournemouth, who impressed under boss Andoni Iraola last season, narrowly missing out on European football with a ninth-place finish. This time around, the Supercomputer has them surprising everyone to move up into seventh and qualify for the Europa Conference League.

Crystal Palace held firm to keep captain Marc Guehi despite Liverpool’s interest over the summer, and under Oliver Glasner’s guidance – with an FA Cup and Community Shield already in the bank – they are projected to use their 19-game unbeaten run, which finally came to an end with defeat to Everton, to help them finish sixth – which will be enough for a place in next year’s Europa League.

It would mark progress for a side that has seemed wedded to 12th place, landing there in two of the last three campaigns, as well as feel like a healthy dose of vengeance on UEFA after missing out on Europe’s second-tier competition due to the grey area of multi-club ownership rules this term.

Data Analysts Have Already Predicted Final 2025-26 Premier League Table

The early projections paint a worrying picture for Arsenal, Tottenham, and Manchester United.

Top Four

Chelsea, having entered the season with a fanbase that is more optimistic than anyone else based on a recent survey, are forecast to fourth under Todd Boehly’s sunny-go-lucky regime, also qualifying for Champions League football once again, but still finishing 17 and 24 points adrift of second and first, while only above fifth by one point, pointing towards another nervy finish in their pursuit of the top four.

Meanwhile, Manchester City, who are currently going through a transition period, are tipped to finish third once again, with their form being on a bit of a rise in recent weeks, which has coincided with Erling Haaland’s goalscoring purple patch that has seen him score three goals against ‘Big Six’ clubs over two weeks before then notching three goal involvements during the 5-1 home win over Burnley and another goal in a 1-0 win over Brentford.

Despite their astronomical spending, which has seen them break the British transfer fee record twice in one summer by bringing in both Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, while also welcoming Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Giovanni Leoni, and Hugo Ekitike to Anfield, Liverpool are expected to miss out on retaining their title by a fairly sizeable gap of seven points to serial runners-up Arsenal.

The All-Time Premier League Table

Despite Manchester City’s recent dominance, they still don’t crack the top five in the all-time Premier League standings.

A fourth successive runners-up medal could prove costly for Mikel Arteta, especially if the Gunners fell short with Sweden sharpshooter Viktor Gyokeres spearheading his attack and Eberechi Eze added to the attacking midfield/ winger department just for good measure. But after conceding just three times in their opening six games – albeit all three goals coming against the run of play – the Gunners are expected to finally end a hoodoo of over two decades.

Patience has been a virtue in the Arteta project, and winning the title – as current projections suggest – would remove any lingering doubt about the Spaniard’s ability to get his side over the finishing line. For some teams, all it takes is one triumph to spark a domino effect of silverware. If Arsenal lift the Premier League trophy this season, it could spell bad news for the rest of the country in the years ahead.
