The Sky Sports supercomputer has predicted the 2026/27 Premier League table after 10,000 simulations. Arsenal are tipped to retain the title, becoming only the fourth side in Premier League history to do so, with an expected points total of 85.2 – nearly four points clear of Manchester City, who are runners-up again after Pep Guardiola's departure. Liverpool, under Andoni Iraola, climb to third, while Manchester United drop to fourth despite a strong finish last season. Chelsea rise five places to fifth under Xabi Alonso, Spurs climb to sixth, and Aston Villa drop to seventh.

At the bottom, newly-promoted sides Coventry, Ipswich and Hull are predicted to go straight back down. Nottingham Forest are at risk in 17th, despite appointing Oliver Glasner, while Newcastle, after selling key players, are predicted 13th. Everton improve to 11th, and Sunderland finish 15th despite a historic seventh-place last season.

Arsenal have a 50.6% title chance, nearly double any other side. Manchester City are at 27.5%, Liverpool 10.2%, Manchester United 7.3%, Chelsea 3.9%, and Spurs 0.4%. For relegation, Hull have an 81.6% chance, Ipswich 47.5%, and Nottingham Forest and Coventry both 43.1%. The season begins with Arsenal vs Coventry live on Sky Sports on Friday August 21.
