Predicted Premier League Final Standings in 25/26 Season

August 18, 2025 Aksel Kryhlmand

Based on fan votes from Ranker’s Premier League predictions list, this gallery takes you through how voters think the 2025 EPL season will shake out, counting down from 20th to 1st.

West Bromwich Albion

Despite passionate support and a history of bouncing between divisions, West Brom fans might be in for a rough season. Voters see them finishing at the very bottom, likely facing the drop unless they pull off a major turnaround.

Burnley

Known for their gritty, defensive football, Burnley could struggle to keep pace this season. Ranked second-to-last by voters, the club might find itself overwhelmed by more dynamic Premier League sides.

Hull City

Hull City fans may need to brace for a tense relegation scrap. Ranked 18th, their return to the top flight could be short-lived unless they can defy expectations and secure crucial points.

Sunderland

Sunderland might survive, but just barely. Fans have them finishing just above the drop zone, suggesting a season filled with narrow margins and make-or-break fixtures.

Middlesbrough

Back in the big league, Boro are predicted to land in 16th place. While not in immediate danger, they'll need to stay sharp to avoid being dragged into the relegation battle.

Swansea City

Swansea’s predicted mid-lower table finish indicates they might not hit previous heights, but fans are cautiously optimistic they’ll do just enough to stay afloat in the top tier.

Bournemouth

Once lauded for their attacking style, Bournemouth appears to be slipping down the pecking order. A 14th-place prediction could mean a season of inconsistency.

Crystal Palace

Palace fans might be expecting a solid, if unspectacular, campaign. Ranked 13th, the Eagles are likely aiming for safety first, but may lack the firepower to aim much higher.

Watford

Watford lands in 12th in the predictions, a respectable finish that suggests fans see them as competitive, if not contenders. Stability could be key to building future success.

Stoke City

Having faded from prominence in recent seasons, Stoke's predicted 11th-place finish would be a statement of progress. If they keep their form consistent, a top-half spot is within reach.

Southampton

Southampton rounds out the top ten, hinting at a team that’s steady, well-organized, and tough to beat, but not quite ready to break into the elite circle.

West Ham United

West Ham is knocking on the door of the top tier. A ninth-place projection reflects their growing stature but also the stiff competition ahead if they hope to break into European spots.

Everton

Despite financial limitations compared to the giants, Everton continues to punch above their weight. Voters have them finishing in the top half, showing belief in their enduring resilience.

Leicester City

Nearly a decade on from their historic title win, fans still back Leicester to finish strong. A 7th-place prediction shows they remain one of the most admired clubs outside the traditional "Big Six."

Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs come close, but not close enough. Voters see them finishing 6th, a place that signals talent, ambition, and perhaps underachievement if they can’t crack the top four.

Arsenal

Once perennial title challengers, Arsenal are still rebuilding. A 5th-place finish suggests fans believe in progress, but not a full return to glory, at least not yet.

Chelsea

Chelsea’s deep squad and high spending usually mean success, but instability and managerial turnover seem to worry fans. Still, a 4th-place prediction keeps them in the Champions League hunt.

Liverpool

Liverpool’s attacking flair and passionate support earn them a spot on the podium. Third place indicates belief in their firepower, even if defensive questions remain.

Manchester City

City’s dominance in recent years makes them a clear contender, but voters have them narrowly missing the top spot. Even with world-class talent, nothing is guaranteed in the Premier League.

Manchester United

In a surprising twist, fans predict Manchester United to finish first. With high-profile signings and a renewed sense of direction, belief is strong that the Red Devils will finally reclaim the crown.
