The Premier League supercomputer is predicting Liverpool to defend its Premier League title with a final points tally of 82 next season.

The Reds ended the 2024-25 season with 84 points, although there was a clear drop-off in form from Arne Slot's men over the last four games of the season as the title had already been wrapped up.

Liverpool had 82 points after 34 games and picked up just two more points from a possible 12 to round out the season, but still finished a whopping 10 points clear of second-placed Arsenal and 13 ahead of Manchester City in third.

The supercomputer predicts that City will finish second next term, with 79 points — three fewer than Liverpool — while Arsenal is once again tipped to finish 10 points off the leader, down in third place on 72 points.

Aston Villa and Newcastle round out the top five with 64 and 63 points respectively, with Chelsea in sixth, Brentford in seventh and Brighton in eighth.

As has been the case in each of the last two seasons, all three promoted teams are predicted to go down, with Sunderland finishing bottom on 22 points, Leeds finishing 19th on 34 points, and Burnley finishing 18th on 40 points.

Considering the team that finished 18th this season, Leicester, finished on 25 points, Burnley would feel very hard done by were it to go down on 40 points.

Manchester United is tipped to finish with just four points more than Burnley, in 14th place, while Tottenham is backed to finish 15th with one point fewer than United.



The predicted 2025/26 Premier League table

Everton's first season at its new stadium is not tipped to be an enjoyable one, with the supercomputer predicting that the Toffees will finish 16th.

Explaining how the supercomputer works, BettingLounge.co.uk said: "The Premier League Supercomputer is a probability model, not determined by human predictions or bias. 

"What happens is the Supercomputer estimates the outcome of each remaining fixture based on a team’s current strength (based on factors such as league position and form) and betting market odds.

"The machine then simulates the remaining games in a season 10,000 times and constructs an average league table from the 10,000 simulations, to rule out anomalous results."
