20) Wolves – 10 Pts
Based on Vitor Pereira’s side’s winless start and the fact that they have the worst expected goals+assists in the Premier League, they are predicted to stay rooted to the bottom of the table.
19) West Ham – 12 Pts
Even though Nuni Espirito Santo has replaced Graham Potter in the dugout, there is not expected to be an upturn in the Hammers’ form.
18) Burnley – 14 Pts
The AI has taken into account the Clarets’ poor relegation odds as well as their xG differential to determine that they will stay in the bottom three along with West Ham and Wolves.
17) Everton – 16 Pts
Despite being described as “dark horse potential” by the AI, the projections based on Opta’s data see them drop down from their current 8th position to just above the relegation places. That will surprise plenty of people.
