Premier League 2025/26: Supercomputer Predicts the Final Table – Ranked

The 2025/26 Premier League season is underway, and with just one gameweek played, a Supercomputer has forecasted the final standings. Based on a simulation that incorporates fixture data and opening-weekend form, the full table has been projected. Here’s a breakdown of how every team is expected to finish—starting from the bottom and climbing to the top.

20. West Ham United – 25 points

West Ham are predicted to end the season at the foot of the table. A crushing loss to Sunderland on opening day may have exposed a fragile foundation for the campaign ahead.

19. Burnley – 28 points

Burnley are expected to go down again despite showing more grit than past promoted sides. A lack of cutting edge and Premier League quality could be their undoing.

18. Wolverhampton Wanderers – 33 points

Wolves are tipped for relegation by the narrowest of margins—goal difference. A leaky defense and lack of consistency may cancel out any bright moments across the season.

17. Sunderland – 33 points

Sunderland narrowly survive the drop thanks to superior goal difference. Their opening-day heroics and busy summer recruitment are forecast to make just enough difference.

16. Fulham – 36 points

Fulham are predicted to avoid relegation, but not by much. A draw against Brighton offered hope, but the team is expected to flirt with danger all season long.

15. Leeds United – 40 points

Leeds are projected to stay comfortably safe in their return season. A strong start and impressive recruitment offer reasons for optimism at Elland Road.

14. Brentford – 42 points

With the departure of Thomas Frank and Bryan Mbeumo, Brentford are tipped to slide down the table. Significant upheaval may hurt their stability and cohesion.

13. Bournemouth – 48 points

After narrowly missing out on Europe last season, Bournemouth are expected to regress. Despite Andoni Iraola’s continued presence, the Cherries might struggle for consistency.

12. Everton – 48 points

Despite major investments and a new-look team under David Moyes, Everton are set to finish mid-table. Expectations were higher given their strong transfer window, but the predicted result would feel underwhelming.

11. Tottenham – 50 points

Spurs are expected to improve on last season’s poor showing with an 11th-place finish. New arrival Mohammed Kudus is already making an impact and may be key to their revival.

10. Brighton & Hove Albion – 54 points

Brighton are predicted to drop slightly in the table, finishing 10th. Smart summer additions and young manager Fabian Hürzeler should help them stay competitive.

9. Nottingham Forest – 54 points

Forest continue their impressive rise with another top-half finish. With Dan Ndoye joining an already cohesive squad, stability could be the key to success.

8. Crystal Palace – 58 points

FA Cup and Community Shield winners Crystal Palace are forecast to achieve their best Premier League finish in years. Keeping Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze will be vital to staying in the top 10.

7. Manchester United – 58 points

United are predicted to bounce back from their worst-ever Premier League finish. Ruben Amorim is expected to oversee a 16-point improvement, though still outside the top six.

6. Chelsea – 62 points

Optimism surrounds Chelsea under Todd Boehly, and a sixth-place finish would be a step in the right direction. Still, missing out on Champions League football may frustrate fans.

5. Newcastle United – 68 points

Despite the potential departure of Alexander Isak, Newcastle are tipped for a strong campaign. Reinforcements like Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa could be crucial to their European push.

4. Aston Villa – 72 points

Unai Emery’s side are expected to clinch a Champions League spot despite a quiet transfer window. Retaining key players has kept their foundation strong enough to secure top-four football.

3. Liverpool – 80 points

Liverpool are predicted to fall short of defending their title. Even with high-profile signings, Arne Slot’s side is expected to finish third in a tighter title race.

2. Arsenal – 86 points

Arsenal are forecast to once again finish as runners-up—this time only on goal difference. It would mark a fourth consecutive second-place finish, setting an unwanted Premier League record.
