A Supercomputer has predicted the 2024-25 Premier League table, and as expected, Arsenal are predicted to face yet another season of missing out on the title, while Manchester United’s slump shows no sign of being remedied. 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, Man 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.
The outcome of the 2024-25 Champions League campaign has been predicted by a supercomputer.
Twenty-nine 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 23-point lead over the reigning champions, while Arteta’s men are struggling to try and keep the leaders in check after handing the Reds a 15-point lead themselves.
With data provided by CompleteSports’ 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, while the Nottingham Forest and Brighton & Hove Albion faithful are in for a swashbuckling business end to the season as they attempt to qualify for Europe.

Champions League and European Spots
Forest set for place at Europe’s top table, Chelsea unable to retain early season form
With speculation mounting over Guardiola’s future, despite the Catalan native recently signing a two-year contract extension at the club, the Citizens may not be able to extend their record-breaking streak of top flight crowns. Alas, the Supercomputer has predicted that his side will still finish in third on, by their standards, a measly 73 points.
It would mark the first time the Citizens have finished below the top two since Guardiola’s first season in charge in the 2016/17 campaign, thus leaving them 19 points astray of long-term adversaries, Liverpool.

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.
Slot and his entourage, in their first foray into English football, will reign victorious after gaining a 17-point lead over second-placed Arsenal at the summit. In what would be considered a fantastic maiden season at the helm, particularly following the departure of the much-beloved Jurgen Klopp, the Merseyside outfit are expected to blow all their competition out of the water with a yawning chasm after Injuries have taken their toll on the Gunners.
Arsenal are – once again – expected to settle for a runners-up position. The Gunners missed out on the league title by just two points last time out, but according to the Supercomputer, the margin is set to be far more deflating this time around, with the predicted second-placed side finishing a weighty 17 points behind the current table toppers. This comes as many predicted the north Londoners to go on and finally win their first crown in two decades at the start of the term.
Nuno Espirito Santo and his resurgent Nottingham Forest side, who are still the only team to beat Liverpool in the league thus far, are expected to complete their fairytale season by claiming fourth come May, meaning they are set to continue their form until the end of the campaign. Chris Wood and co. are firing on all cylinders at the minute, and after flirting with relegation last term, the Garibaldi do look set for a return to European football, a place many of the older generation will claim they deserve.
Enzo Maresca and Chelsea, according to the Supercomputer, will be unable to regain some sort of form from the start of the season. They will hold on to sixth place. The Blues have won just four of their previous 12 league fixtures, and the supercomputer feels that worrying trend is set to ebb and flow until May. As for who will take the final places in the top eight, it is set to be Brighton & Hove Albion and Bournemouth.
As somewhat expected after a successful transition season last time out, Andoni Iraola – with the help of in-form forward-thinkers Antoine Semenyo, Evanilson, and Justin Kluivert – and Bournemouth are predicted to gain European qualification for the first time since the club’s inception. However, they will feel somewhat disappointed to settle for the Conference League, with Fabian Hurzeler’s Seagulls storming into the final Europa League spot.
Meanwhile, Newcastle are set for a spot in next season’s Europa League as well as they are currently projected to finish fifth on 69 points, while Aston Villa and Fulham are tipped to finish in ninth and 10th, each landing on a respectable 60 and 57 points.
Mid-Table Obscurity
Tottenham & Manchester United fall to lowest Premier League finish
Crystal Palace, with the guidance of Oliver Glasner, who has led them to second in the form table after a fast start to 2025, are expected to just miss out on a finish inside the top 10, finishing 11th with 55 points. West Ham, meanwhile, will prove they were right to sack Julen Lopetegui in favour of Graham Potter, as they are set to steady the rocking ship and finish 12th with 47 points.
Brentford will struggle to balance the contrast between their home and away form and finish 13th. At the time of writing, the Bees are eighth in the table when it comes to their home form, but all the way down in 15th on the road.
That being said, there’s perhaps nobody who will feel more disappointed should the Supercomputer be correct than Ruben Amorim. The Supercomputer has predicted that the former Sporting Lisbon boss will be unable to turn around Manchester United’s worst start to a league season since 1986/87, with them finishing 14th come May 25.
If this proves to be the case, it’ll be the Red Devils’ worst-ever Premier League finish, and they will finish a massive 51 points behind Liverpool, as the post-Ferguson blues continue to trudge on at a worrying rate.
After beating the Red Devils in their recent clash and securing their first Premier League double over them in their history, Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham will fall back into normality and finish a couple places below Amorim’s side in 16th, thus ensuring they too will endure their lowest points total in the Premier League era.

Ranking Man Utd’s Worst Starts To a Premier League Season
Erik ten Hag was sacked after leading Manchester United to their worst ever start to a Premier League campaign.
Sandwiched between the two fallen giants of English football is expected to be Everton. Despite a quick start to lfie under idolised manager David Moyes, the Toffees are expected to struggle to continue their form between now and the end of the season, finishing on 42 points, just two above the ordinary relegation threshold.
Relegation Zone
Wolves avoid relegation, Ipswich and Leicester City drop back down
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 constantly reiterating that the very same year, he led Leicester City to the most unexpected Premier League title.
Unfortunately for the Foxes, the Supercomputer believes that the tally this time is 35 points, a number which Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side will fall miserably short of as they land on 22. Wolverhampton Wanderers, on the other hand, will achieve that instead, courtesy mostly of the brilliance of Matheus Cunha. Under Vitor Pereira, who has already overseen stunning victories against Man United and Leicester, the Old Gold are forecasted to keep afloat.

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.
Southampton, meanwhile, have still only managed two victories after 26 league games in the 2024/25 season, and they are only expected to have that winning feeling once more all campaign. A miracle will be needed to keep the Saints up for another bite of the top-flight cherry. But hey, at least they still won’t manage to be as bad as Derby County in 2008, earning just one more point than that side.
Two seasons ago, Ipswich Town were playing in League One, so to even be in the top flight is a remarkable achievement in itself. Sadly, though, they will fall victim to a much smaller budget than the rest of the clubs in the division and go back down, finishing 18th with 22 points.
