Supercomputer Predicts Final Premier League Standings Following Liverpool and Arsenal's Slip-Ups

In Gameweek 20, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool all experienced setbacks, dropping valuable points in their respective matches.

Despite this, Liverpool remains in a strong position at the top of the Premier League table. A supercomputer has projected that the Reds are on track to comfortably secure the title.

The opportunity was ripe for Liverpool to seize control of the title race after Arsenal and Chelsea faltered away from home on Saturday. Hosting a struggling Manchester United team at Anfield, which had lost its last four matches, Liverpool knew a win would extend their lead at the top to eight points, with a game in hand.

Manchester City is expected to finish the season with 69.53 points, which would mark their lowest total during Pep Guardiola's tenure. However, they are still predicted to finish ahead of Chelsea, who have faced challenges throughout the festive period and seem set to focus more on securing a top-four finish rather than contending for the title. Opta forecasts that Chelsea will maintain a comfortable gap above fifth-placed Newcastle.

Latest 2024/25 Premier League table prediction

| Position | Team                | Expected Points |

| 1        | Liverpool           | 87.24            |
| 2        | Arsenal             | 78.14            |
| 3        | Man City            | 69.53            |
| 4        | Chelsea             | 68.77            |
| 5        | Newcastle           | 63.10            |
| 6        | Nottingham Forest    | 60.79            |
| 7        | Aston Villa         | 57.82            |
| 8        | Bournemouth         | 56.98            |
| 9        | Fulham              | 53.39            |
| 10       | Brighton            | 52.65            |
| 11       | Tottenham           | 52.02            |
| 12       | Man Utd             | 50.58            |
| 13       | Brentford           | 48.72            |
| 14       | West Ham            | 46.12            |
| 15       | Crystal Palace      | 45.06            |
| 16       | Everton             | 38.17            |
| 17       | Wolves              | 34.39            |
| 18       | Ipswich             | 31.36            |
| 19       | Leicester           | 29.94            |
| 20       | Southampton         | 19.00            |


Nottingham Forest's impressive season may see a slight decline, but they are still in contention for a European spot for the 2025/26 season, with a projected points total of 60.79—marking their best-ever performance in the Premier League.

The outlook is not optimistic for Tottenham or Manchester United as they struggle to turn their seasons around. United is on track for their least productive campaign in Premier League history, while Spurs risk finishing with their lowest points tally since the 2008/09 season—a year that saw them saved by Harry Redknapp after a dismal start.

According to the supercomputer, only Wolves and possibly Everton are likely to be drawn into the relegation battle alongside Ipswich Town. All three newly promoted teams are expected to return to the Championship, with Southampton projected to finish with just 19 points—tying for the fifth-worst total in Premier League history.

Wolves are forecasted to narrowly avoid relegation by three points, while Ipswich is expected to drop down to the second tier with an anticipated points total of 31.36.
