Supercomputer Predicts Where Liverpool And Every Other Team Will Finish In The 2023/24 Premier League Table
We are nearly two-thirds of the way through the season and statisticians at Net World Sports have predicted the final table.
They have simulated over 10,000 Premier League seasons, using an algorithm and come up with the expected points for all 20 teams.
With Liverpool currently sitting top of the table, Reds fans will be hoping that they can stay there until May.
Press the next page as we look at where every top-flight club is predicted to finish (using Net World Sports Premier League Predictor).
The 3 relegated teams
20th: Sheffield United – 27 Points (-52 Goal Difference)
19th: Burnley – 27 Points (-33 Goal Difference)
18th: Luton Town – 35 Points
Despite the Hatters putting in some valiant performances in recent games, they are still predicted to be relegated as things stand.
It appears that Rob Edwards’s side will go down fighting, though, and they will take it to the final day of the season.
The two other promoted teams, Sheffield United and Burnley, look almost certain to go straight back down.
Neither have squads capable of competing on a consistent basis at the highest level.
Narrowly missing out on the drop
17th: Nottingham Forest – 37 Points
16th: Everton – 37 Points
15th: Fulham – 43 Points
14th: Crystal Palace – 44 Points
None of these four clubs will be particularly pleased with how their campaign has gone so far.
Forest have already sacked their manager and their main goal will now be to keep their top-flight status for a second successive year. The supercomputer suggests they will just about achieve that aim.
Everton’s 10-point deduction means steering clear of the drop zone is the number one objective. Anything else is a bonus.
Fulham and Crystal Palace seem poised for rather disappointing finishes.
Mid-table mediocrity
13th: Bournemouth – 45 Points
12th: Brentford – 46 Points
11th: Wolverhampton Wanderers – 49 Points
10th: Chelsea – 53 Points
After starting the season so poorly, Bournemouth fans would be delighted with a mid-table finish.
As will Brentford, who have drifted dangerously close to the relegation places in recent weeks with Thomas Frank’s side struggling to put a good run of form together.
Wolves have performed beyond expectations. All the credit has to go to manager Gary O’Neil who took charge right before the start of the season.
Chelsea look destined to be the biggest underachievers for the second season in a row, with head coach Mauricio Pochettino under mounting pressure.
Top 10 competitors
9th: Manchester United – 56 Points (-5 Goal Difference)
8th: West Ham United – 56 Points (-2 Goal Difference)
7th: Brighton & Hove Albion – 57 Points
6th: Newcastle United – 62 Points
After beating Liverpool to fourth spot last season, it appears as if Newcastle will have to settle for 6th this time around, based on current predictions.
The Magpies are, however, expected to finish quite far ahead of the other clubs in the top ten.
It seems that there won’t be much between Brighton, West Ham and Manchester United (who have had a very poor campaign so far).
9th place would probably see the Red Devils part ways with manager Erik ten Hag.
Champions League qualification
5th: Tottenham Hotspur – 67 Points
4th: Aston Villa – 70 Points
3rd: Arsenal – 77 Points
2nd: Manchester City – 83 Points
1st: Liverpool – 84 Points
The supercomputer is predicting a fairytale ending for manager Jurgen Klopp, with the Reds tipped to narrowly beat Manchester City for top spot.
Despite getting themselves back into the title race with their victory against the Reds on Sunday, Arsenal are still expected to finish in third.
At the moment, Aston Villa are set to clinch the final Champions League spot, with Tottenham having to settle for 5th.
Spurs’s position could yet be enough to qualify for Europe’s top competition but that depends on how English teams do in Europe this campaign.
