A Premier League supercomputer simulation has tipped Liverpool to win the title, while also revealing the predicted finishing positions of Arsenal, Manchester United, and the rest of the teams this season.

A Premier League supercomputer simulation by Opta, as shared in a Sky Sports on X, has forecasted Liverpool as champions for the 2025/26 season.

The simulation, which runs thousands of match scenarios, predicts Arne Slot’s Liverpool will retain the title with 71 points, showing their dominance and consistency.

Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City are expected to round out the top four, securing Champions League spots.

Arsenal’s strong showing reflects their continued rise, while Chelsea’s resurgence which has seen them win the FIFA Club World Championship, and Manchester City’s sustained excellence keep them in contention.

For Manchester United, however, the outlook is less promising. Under manager Ruben Amorim, the Red Devils are predicted to finish 12th with 49 points, marking only a marginal improvement from last season’s struggles.
