Supercomputer Predicts 2025-26 Premier League Table in Full
After the first three gameweeks of the new season have now concluded, and the first international break is upon us, a supercomputer has 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.

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 three weekends. Without further ado, let’s take a look at the predicted winners and losers of the 2025-26 Premier League season.
Relegation Zone
Leeds United
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, both Sunderland and Leeds United – the latter of whom opened their campaign with an impressive 1-0 victory over Everton – will avoid the drop this time around.
West Ham are going to suffer under Graham Potter this season, and they are expected to ship 74 points across 38 games, which works out at an average of nearly two goals conceded per game following back-to-back thumpings against Sunderland and Chelsea, even if a 3-0 win at Nottingham Forest alleviated some of Potter’s early frustrations. Elsewhere, Wolves are expected to finish rock bottom – a position they currently find themselves rooted to after being the only side yet to pick up a point this term.
The Supercomputer predicts that just four points will separate Burnley in 18th from Sunderland in 15th, setting up a relegation battle that could go the full 12 rounds and still be decided in the dying minutes of the final day in May. Leeds United are tipped to scrape 17th, but the bigger shock is Forest being pegged for 16th – a verdict that feels a tad on the trigger-happy side given their steady start of a win, a draw, and a loss from their opening three matches.
Position Club Points
15. Sunderland 36
16. Nottingham Forest 34
17. Leeds United 33
18. Burnley 32
19. West Ham 26
20. Wolves 23
Bottom Half

Fulham are projected to finish 14th, but with just 37 points – a total that falls a win short of the traditional benchmark for safety. That won’t sit well at Craven Cottage, where patience with mid-table mediocrity has already worn thin. Adding to the frustration, they’re tipped to finish seven points adrift of Brentford, who have surprised many by starting the season respectably well, despite the exits of their manager, Thomas Frank, as well as their two most productive attackers last season in Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa.

Brighton & Hove Albion are forecast to slip five places to 12th 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 safe, even if their early form has been 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.
What may sting more is being tipped to finish below rivals Crystal Palace. The Eagles held firm to keep captain Marc Guehi despite Liverpool’s interest, and under Oliver Glasner’s guidance – with an FA Cup and Community Shield already in the bank – they are projected to climb to 11th. It would mark progress for a side that has seemed wedded to 12th place, landing there in two of the last three campaigns.
Position Club Points
11. Crystal Palace 56
12. Brighton & Hove Albion 50
13. Brentford 44
14. Fulham 37

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 10th-place finish proves accurate, it would surely see the good times start to roll again on the blue half of Merseyside. But the way they are currently playing, the Toffees will be hungry for more.
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim is already under the microscope, and another middling season could see him shown the door after Alex Iwobi seemed to be able to unpick his tactics in just a couple of words following United’s drab start to the campaign. The Supercomputer, however, predicts them to be just outside the European places in ninth, picking up 21 points more than last year – a clear step in the right direction.

After a 17th-place finish last year, Tottenham fans would likely be pleased with an eighth-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.
Even with Alexander Isak sealing a record transfer to Liverpool, Newcastle United are still expected to finish sixth. Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa are set to step up, hoping to fill the big Swede’s sizeable boots. Meanwhile, Manchester City, who are currently going through a transition period, are tipped to finish fifth, which should still be enough to earn Champions League qualification, even if performances in recent defeats against Tottenham and Brighton make for grim viewing for the Etihad Stadium faithful.

Aston Villa haven’t even scored yet this season, but the Supercomputer still predicts they will finish fourth by May, scoring the third-highest number of goals in the league and racking up 19 wins, 12 draws, and just seven defeats to secure a return to the Champions League.
Chelsea, entering the season with a fanbase that is more optimistic than anyone else based on a recent survey, are forecast to finish third under Todd Boehly’s sunny-go-lucky regime, also qualifying for Champions League football once again, but still finishing 10 and 11 points adrift of second and first.
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 one point to serial runners-up Arsenal.

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 once in their opening three games – albeit that coming against the run of play when Dominik Szoboszlai curled his 32-yard free-kick off the post with less than 10 minutes of regular time left on the clock – 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.
