A supercomputer has predicted the 2024-25 Premier League table, and if proven to be correct, Arsenal face yet another season of missing out on the title. Last term bore out a title race full of twists and turns as the Gunners were part of three teams challenging for the biggest honour in English domestic football. As Liverpool fell away eventually, Manchester City were left 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.
17 games into the new campaign, though, and the wheels are coming off in quite spectacular fashion for Guardiola and his all-conquering City players. Arne Slot’s Liverpool have already opened up a 12-point lead over the reigning champions with a game in hand in the bank as well. With data provided by Skinlords.com’s Premier League Supercomputer, how the division will shape up at the end of the season has been predicted. Manchester United fans may want to look away, as the results do not make good reading for the Red Devils.
Brentford will follow closely behind them, missing out on the top 10 courtesy of an inferior goal difference, as Thomas Frank’s side continue to ship goals at the same rate at which they also score them. Fabian Hurzeler, one of the youngest managers in Premier League history, has done a superb job since taking over from Roberto De Zerbi in the summer but, upon the conclusion of his maiden term in England, has been predicted to finish in 12th once injuries start to take their toll – on 54 points with a two-goal positive goal difference.
West Ham United are set to be one of the biggest disappointments after such an exciting summer transfer window, with Julen Lopetegui – formerly of Real Madrid – guiding the Irons to a 14th-placed finish in 2024/25. Sean Dyche, on the other hand, will look a little bit happier, as he will be able to steer Everton 11 points away from the relegation zone.
Crystal Palace, at one point last season, looked set to challenge those vying for continental football – but Oliver Glasner’s side are predicted to finish in 16th this term. Despite having the likes of Eberechi Eze and Jean-Phillipe Mateta in their ranks, their predicted plateau of performances will see them gather just another 20 points in the remaining 21 outings.
After sacking Gary O’Neil, Wolves will be relieved that they can steer just clear of the dropzone. Matheus Cunha is a good example of how the Old Gold still have some talent to boast and, with everything crossed, it should be enough to see them finish 17th, just two points above the dreaded dotted line.

It has often been claimed that the magic number is 40 points when it comes to Premier League survival. You may even remember Claudio Ranieri reiterating that constantly the very same year that he led Leicester City to the most unexpected Premier League title. Unfortunately for the Foxes, the supercomputer believes that the tally this time is 26 points, a number which the supercomputer believes Wolverhampton Wanderers will achieve to send the 2016/17 winners straight back down.
