Supercomputer Predicts 2026-27 Premier League Table

Sunderland have had a difficult start to the season after surprising everyone in their first campaign back in the top-flight. The Black Cats are currently expected to finish second bottom of the table after picking up just five points from their opening nine fixtures.

Just above them are Crystal Palace. Palace's relegation odds have increased after they were hammered 5-0 by rivals Brighton and then beaten by Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur - results which have reportedly left their manager Pierre Sage fighting for his job.

Coventry City are tipped to finish rock bottom and join Sunderland and Crystal Palace in the Championship next season. Frank Lampard has already sealed three wins as Coventry boss this term, so they'll be aiming to prove Opta's Supercomputer wrong over the coming weeks and months.

Nottingham Forest narrowly avoided relegation last campaign, and it appears they are in another relegation battle this time round. Oliver Glasner's side will pick up 42 points and survive by the skin of their teeth, according to the Supercomputer.

Hull weren't given a chance before a ball was kicked this season, but they currently occupy 10th spot in the real Premier League table. A drop-down to 16th would still represent a successful campaign.

Fulham are on the up under Alvaro Arbeloa. The Cottagers earned encouraging draws against Liverpool and Manchester United before the international break, and have since picked up wins against Hull City and Coventry and another point against Aston Villa. A nervy 15th place finish is being predicted for the west London outfit.

Bottom Half

Ipswich Town were expected to struggle on their return to the Premier League. After three wins from their opening eight matches, Gary O'Neil's side are predicted to end the season in a respectable 14th.

Many pundits and fans alike have tipped Manchester United to finish inside the top four again this season, but the Supercomputer has the Red Devils down in 13th place following a nightmare start to the campaign. Michael Carrick's only league win so far this season came against Ipswich in August.

Another season of mid-table obscurity beckons for Everton. Following back-to-back defeats against Chelsea and Arsenal, the Supercomputer predicts they will finish 12th, a spot above Daniel Farke's Leeds United.

Top Half

Newcastle United have looked okay under Matthias Jaissle despite some heavy defeats. They are expected to finish the season in 10th place, which would be a reasonable achievement following such a turbulent summer at St James' Park.

After a slow start, Tottenham have flown up the table after picking up three wins in a row, leaving them in eighth place. Opta's Supercomputer has seen enough evidence to suggest Spurs should finish in the top half. A ninth-placed finish would still be a poor campaign based on the club's huge summer expenditure.

Keith Andrews and Brentford continue to defy the odds. They are being tipped to end the season in eighth - their highest ever finish in England's top tier - following a fine start to the campaign.

Bournemouth started the season slowly under new manager Marco Rose, but they have hit their stride in recent weeks, beating Sunderland, Man United and Leeds. The Supercomputer thinks they'll end the season in seventh, a place higher than they did last campaign.

Aston Villa had a disastrous start to the season after three defeats in their first four games. But Unai Emery's team now have 12 points on the board and are finally clicking into gear.

Chelsea are expected to finish fifth with 59 points following a 2-0 victory over Man United at Stamford Bridge. The Blues' front three of Joao Pedro, Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers has the potential to become the most formidable forward line in the league.

Top Four

Liverpool are fourth in the predicted table following impressive wins against Brentford and Brighton. There's plenty of work for Andoni Iraola to do at Anfield this season, but having Alexander Isak, who has six goals in seven games, back will certainly help.

Brighton are currently tipped to finish fourth after a mightily impressive start to the campaign. The Seagulls have already recorded victories against Man City and Arsenal this season. No team has scored more goals (24) than Fabian Hurzeler's side, who are well and truly flying.

Under-fire Manchester City boast an impressive seven wins from nine games without Pep Guardiola in the Premier League. The Citizens are looking impressive under Enzo Maresca, with Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki flying, although the guilty verdict threatens to derail their season.

Every away ground is expected to become incredibly hostile towards the eight-time Premier League champions, who will need to adopt a siege mentality in order to finish as high up the table as possible. Opta's Supercomputer currently believes City will push Arsenal right to the wire, although that prediction could completely change depending on the result of the appeal.

Mikel Arteta's Arsenal remain the Supercomputer's narrow favourites to lift the Premier League trophy. The Gunners are now tipped to finish the campaign seven points above Erling Haaland and co.
