Supercomputer Predicts 2024-25 Premier League Table

Twenty-nine games into the new campaign, though, and the wheels have come off in quite spectacular fashion for Guardiola and his all-conquering City players. Arne Slot’s Liverpool have already opened up a 22-point gap over the reigning champions, while Arteta’s men are struggling to try and keep the leaders in check after handing the Reds a 12-point lead themselves.

With data provided by Opta, as per the Daily Mail, 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

Guardiola’s Man City will not extend their record-breaking streak of top flight crowns. The Supercomputer has predicted that his side will still finish in fourth spot on, by their standards, a measly 66.02 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 more than 20 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 with a healthy 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 as Mikel Arteta continues to claim that their lack of strikers is not the reason why they were unable to take the next step. 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 impressive 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 third 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 13 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 Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Carabao Cup winners are already guaranteed a place in Europe next season thanks to their first domestic title in seven decades, which has also created a strange scenario where the team in 11th could also be competing on the continental circuit next term.

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 have continued to improve leaps and bounds this term. However, they will feel somewhat disappointed miss out on Europe altogether, having previously been pushing for a place in the top four, with Fabian Hurzeler’s Seagulls storming into the Conference League Squad.

Aston Villa and Fulham are tipped to finish in eighth and 10th, each landing on a respectable 58.52 and 55.63 points.

Mid-Table Obscurity

Manchester United and Tottenham complete miserable campaign in the bottom half

Crystal Palace, with the guidance of Oliver Glasner, who has led them to fourth 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 52.04 points. Brentford will struggle to balance the contrast between their home and away form and finish 12th. At the time of writing, the Bees are eighth in the table when it comes to their home form, but down in 11th 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 13th 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 below Amorim’s side in 14th, thus ensuring they too will endure one of their lowest points totals 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.

Just below the two fallen giants is Everton, who have done well to pull themselves away from safety ever since David Moyes made his heroic return to the club. The same cannot be said for Graham Potter at West Ham though, with The Irons predicted to finish 15th after the Englishman has struggled to have the impact he would’ve desired after replacing Julen Lopetegui.

Relegation Zone

All three promoted teams to head straight 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 roughly 37 points, a number which Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side will fall miserably short of as they land on a little more than 23. 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 29 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 24.27 points.
