The world of football is already preparing for the 2025-26 season, with Premier League clubs ramping up transfer activity before returning to pre-season training in the coming weeks. As a result, supporters’ excitement is gradually increasing as they anticipate another interesting top-flight campaign.
Last season, Liverpool won their first league title since 2019-20, while all three promoted teams – Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton – were relegated to the Championship. But what will happen this time around?
That’s exactly what we’ve tried to figure out before the ball was ever kicked. GIVEMESPORT used X’s (previously Twitter) Grok AI technology to forecast the entire 2025-26 Premier League standings. Can Manchester United and Tottenham improve their position? Will Liverpool keep their title? Who will drop out of the division this term? Find out the answers to all of these questions below.
20Leeds United
Position last season: 1st (Championship)
What AI said: “Leeds, promoted from the Championship, face a difficult return.” Supercomputers and AI predict they’ll go right back down, continuing the trend of promoted teams suffering.”
The tendency of freshly promoted teams being relegated back to the Championship after one top-flight season has caused some alarm among football fans across the country. However, the AI does not expect last season’s Championship winners Leeds United to defy the trend and survive. Daniel Farke’s less-than-impressive Premier League record may factor into this prediction.
19Burnley
Position last season: 2nd (Championship)
What AI said: “Despite a great Championship season, Scott Parker’s side may suffer, with prospective departures like James Trafford hurting their defence. “Supercomputers predicted relegation.”
Burnley, managed by Scott Parker, is once again relegated to the second division. Following an outstanding 30 clean sheets last season, the Clarets are poised to lose England youth international goalkeeper James Trafford. They are anticipated to struggle as a result.
18Wolves
Position last season: 16th
AI has forecast that one of the Premier League’s regulars would fill the third relegation place. Wolves were on the verge of going out of the top division in 2024-25 following a disastrous start under Gary O’Neil, but Vitor Pereira and Matheus Cunha saved the Old Gold in the second half of the season. The latter has now left, and his 15 goals will need to be effectively replaced.
