According to a supercomputer, Liverpool will win the Premier League title by a significantly smaller margin in 2025–2026.
With promoted Leeds, Burnley, and Sunderland facing difficulties, relegated teams may find it difficult to remain up again.
While the Champions League spots stay the same, Tottenham and Manchester United are predicted to move up the standings.
The 2025–26 Premier League standings has already been forecasted by a supercomputer ahead of the hectic summer transfer window. Everyone thought Manchester City would win the English league again last season, but Liverpool, under new manager Arne Slot, ended up winning their 20th English league title handily and regaining their position as the most successful team in the nation.
Those who predicted that Arsenal would finish second did not receive bonus points because they had already accomplished that accomplishment three times in a row, although Pep Guardiola’s team’s final-season performance nearly earned third place. Other stories included Manchester United and Tottenham having their worst league seasons since the 1992 rebranding, and Nottingham Forest’s unexpected run to European qualification.
Even though the aforementioned is still very much in the past, football never sleeps, and projections for the upcoming term are already being made. AceOdds’ supercomputer, which has run 100,000 simulations of the league seasons to determine where each team is likely to finish after another exciting 38 games, has put together the forecasts below.

All three promoted sides tipped to go straight back down
It is predicted that a troubling trend at the bottom of the standings will persist in the upcoming season. The three promoted teams this season all immediately dropped back down, and if the supercomputer is right, Leeds, Burnley, and Sunderland may follow suit.
The predictions do, however, indicate that this trio will at least fight harder than they did during the hair-tearing campaign of the previous season. With 16 more points than Southampton, Sunderland is predicted to finish last. Although Burnley is predicted to finish in 19th place, they are eight points ahead of Ipswich Town. Leeds, who finished the season with 31 points—six more than Leicester City—will also miss out on survival.
