The 2024–25 Premier League standings has been predicted by a supercomputer, and as anticipated, Arsenal will lose out on the championship for another season, while Manchester United’s poor play appears to be unabated. The Gunners were among three clubs vying for the greatest honour in English domestic football during the title battle that took place last season and was full of twists and turns. Man City was left to do their thing as Liverpool finally faded away.
In fact, Mikel Arteta and company lost by just two points, even though they won two more games than the Invincibles, as Pep Guardiola’s team swept to a record-breaking fourth consecutive Premier League title. Aston Villa narrowly defeated Spurs to secure the last Champions League slot, while the Reds secured third place.
However, after twenty-nine games of the new season, Guardiola and his all-conquering City team have seen their fortunes turn out spectacularly. After giving the Reds a 12-point advantage, Arteta’s team is finding it difficult to contain the leaders, while Arne Slot’s Liverpool has now created a 22-point gap over the defending champions.
According to the Daily Mail, Opta’s data has been used to forecast the division’s final season shape. While Nottingham Forest and Brighton & Hove Albion supporters are in for a thrilling season finale as they try to qualify for Europe, Manchester United supporters might wish to turn away from the Red Devils’ disappointing record.

European and Champions League Spots
Chelsea is unable to maintain their early-season performance, while Forest is poised to take the top spot in Europe.
Man City, led by Guardiola, will not continue their historic run of Premier League titles. According to the Supercomputer’s prediction, his team will still finish in fourth place with a pitiful 66.02 points.
The Citizens would fall more than 20 points short of their long-time rivals, Liverpool, and finish outside the top two for the first time since Guardiola took over as manager in the 2016–17 season.
In their debut season in English football, Slot and his team will win handily, leading second-place Arsenal by a wide margin. After injuries have taken their toll on the Gunners, the Merseyside team is projected to blow all of their rivals out of the water with a wide gulf in what would be regarded a brilliant first season at the helm, especially after the departure of the much-loved Jurgen Klopp.
Once more, Arsenal is predicted to be content with finishing second. The Supercomputer predicts that the Gunners will lose by a much larger margin this time around, as Mikel Arteta continues to insist that their lack of strikers is not the reason they were unable to advance. The Gunners lost the league crown by just two points the last time out. At the beginning of the semester, many people thought the North Londoners would win their first title in twenty years.
As the only team to defeat Liverpool in the league so far, Nuno Espirito Santo and his outstanding Nottingham Forest team are predicted to finish their incredible season by finishing third come May, which means they will likely maintain their success until the end of the season. After threatening relegation the previous season, Chris Wood and company are currently playing at a high level, and the Garibaldi appear poised for a return to European football—a status that many of the older generation will argue they deserve.
The Supercomputer predicts that Chelsea and Enzo Maresca won’t be able to get back to their preseason level of play. They’ll continue to occupy sixth place. According to the supercomputer, the Blues have only won four of their last 13 league games, and this concerning pattern is expected to fluctuate until May. Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion are predicted to finish in the final spots of the top eight.
Due to their first domestic championship in seven decades, the Carabao Cup winners have already secured a spot in Europe for the upcoming season. This has also produced an odd situation where the team in 11th place may also be playing on the continental circuit.
Following a successful transition season the previous season, Andoni Iraola and Bournemouth have continued to make significant progress this season, aided by in-form forward-thinkers Antoine Semenyo, Evanilson, and Justin Kluivert. With Fabian Hurzeler’s Seagulls stomping into the Conference League Squad, they will be a little unhappy to lose out on Europe entirely after previously contending for a spot in the top four.
With respectable finishes of 58.52 and 55.63 points, respectively, Aston Villa and Fulham are predicted to finish in eighth and tenth place.
Obscurity in the Mid-Table
Tottenham and Manchester United finish their dreadful season in the bottom half.
Under the leadership of Oliver Glasner, who has guided Crystal Palace to fourth place in the form table following a strong start to 2025, the team is predicted to finish 11th with 52.04 points, just missing out on a spot in the top 10. Brentford will end in 12th place because they will find it difficult to reconcile the disparity between their home and away performances. As of this writing, the Bees are currently in eighth place at home but in eleventh place away from home.
Nevertheless, Ruben Amorim is arguably the person who will be most disappointed if the Supercomputer is right. According to the Supercomputer, Manchester United will finish 13th on May 25 after having the worst league season start since 1986–87 under the previous Sporting Lisbon manager.
If this turns out to be the case, the Red Devils would end a whopping 51 points behind Liverpool, their worst-ever Premier League result, as the post-Ferguson blues continue to plod along at an alarming pace.
Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham will return to normal after defeating the Red Devils in their most recent match and winning the Premier League double over them for the first time in their history. They will finish lower than Amorim’s team in 14th place, guaranteeing that they will also have one of their lowest point totals in the Premier League’s history.
Man-united-worst-beginnings
Associated Ranking Manchester United’s Worst Premier League Season Starts Erik ten Hag was fired after leading the team to their worst Premier League season start ever.
Everton, who have done well to distance themselves from safety since David Moyes’ valiant return to the club, is just below the two fallen titans. However, the same cannot be said for Graham Potter at West Ham, as the Englishman has failed to make the kind of effect he would have liked after taking Julen Lopetegui’s place, and the Irons are expected to end in 15th place.
Zone of Relegation
All three promoted teams will immediately return to their previous level.
When it comes to Premier League survival, 40 points has frequently been cited as the magic number. You might even recall Claudio Ranieri’s repeated insistence that he guided Leicester City to the most surprising Premier League championship that same year.
The Supercomputer predicts that the Foxes will finish with almost 37 points this time, which Ruud van Nistelrooy’s team will terribly miss as they finish with just over 23. However, Wolverhampton Wanderers will do that instead, primarily thanks to Matheus Cunha’s genius. The Old Gold are expected to stay afloat under Vitor Pereira, who has already presided over incredible wins against Leicester and Manchester United.
After 29 league games in the 2024–25 season, Southampton has only managed two wins, and they are only anticipated to feel winning over the entire campaign. It will take a miracle to keep the Saints from enjoying another taste of the top level. Even still, they will only be one point better than Derby County in 2008, thus they won’t be as dreadful as that team.
Ipswich Town was in League One two seasons ago, so just making it to the top flight is an incredible accomplishment. Unfortunately, though, they will lose since they have a far smaller budget than the other teams in the division. They will finish 18th with 24.27 points.
