A supercomputer predicts the final standings of the English Premier League for the 2026-27 season, comparing it with the previous 2025-26 season.
On 29 Jul 2026 GMT+7, activity around the English Premier League, the world's top football competition, will ignite with the first matches kicking off on 21 August, less than a month away. It has become customary for the supercomputer to forecast the champion, runner-up, UEFA Champions League qualifiers, and the three teams likely to be relegated from the Premier League to the English Championship.
The supercomputer states that this year, the "Gunners" Arsenal, led by Spanish manager Mikel Arteta, will successfully defend their title. Following them, the "Sky Blues" Manchester City, under new Italian coach Enzo Maresca, are predicted to finish second again. Meanwhile, "The Red Devils" Manchester United, managed by English coach Michael Carrick, are expected to drop to sixth place, meaning they will miss out on UEFA Champions League qualification next season. These are the supercomputer's predictions analyzing the conclusion of the English Premier League 2026-27 season, compared with last year's 2025-26 season.
