Supercomputer predicts shock Chelsea final position in 2025-26 Premier League table after massive signings
The Premier League season is alarmingly close to launch and bold predictions are already being thrown about ahead of the 2025–26 campaign.
While last season offers an indication of how the upcoming term will pan out, the beauty of the Premier League is in the unexpected. There are three new sides in the division hoping to upset the odds, as well as an array of high profile, big money signing looking to make an impact. It’s nigh on impossible to predict how the final table will look.
But Opta’s magical supercomputer has attempted to do exactly that, forecasting where each of the top-flight’s 20 clubs will finish. For some, it offers hope and encouragement. For others, simply heartbreak and woe.
Supercomputer Predicts 2025–26 Premier League Final Table
First thing first, who will be crowned champions in 2025–26?
Well, the supercomputer has backed Liverpool to defend their crown and secure repeat titles, giving them a 28.5% chance of seeing off the competition for another year. Arne Slot and his star studded squad will be hoping to justify the supercomputer’s faith.
That means it would be a fourth successive second place finish for Arsenal, who will be desperately keen to prove Opta wrong. The Gunners are aiming to take the final leap towards domestic glory after several agonising attempts under Mikel Arteta, and they are given a 24.3% chance of ending their trophy drought.
Manchester City will be keen to return to their former heights after a season in the cold, but they are something of an unknown force heading into 2025–26 given their underwhelming displays last term. They finished strong, as did Chelsea, and both are expected to make up the remainder of the top four—although the Cityzens have a much stronger chance of winning the title than the newly crowned club world champions (18.8% compared to 8.4%).
