The Sky Sports supercomputer has made its predictions for the 2026/27 Premier League season, suggesting that Arsenal will successfully defend their title.
The official Premier League account has released a graphic showcasing the anticipated league table after 38 matches.
Arsenal tops the list with a projected total of 85.24 points, while Manchester City sits in second place with 81.65 points.
Liverpool follows closely behind in third with 76.84 points, and Manchester United is forecasted to secure the fourth spot with 75.38 points.
Chelsea is predicted to finish fifth with 72.70 points, while Tottenham rounds out the traditional top six with 64.76 points.
The supercomputer runs thousands of simulations—around 10,000 typically—taking into account current form, historical results, squad strength, summer signings, managerial changes, and betting odds.
These figures represent the average expected points rather than a definitive forecast. The projected points for Arsenal are nearly identical to the 85 points they amassed to clinch the title in the 2025/26 season.
It's worth recalling that under Mikel Arteta, the Gunners ended a 22-year wait for the championship last season. Now they face the challenge of retaining their crown.
Meanwhile, Manchester City embarks on a new era under Enzo Mareska following Pep Guardiola's departure, and Liverpool enters its first full campaign under Andoni Iraola.
As for relegation, the supercomputer predicts a drop for Coventry, Ipswich, and Hull City. Manchester United, however, is expected to perform significantly better than the relegation candidates and firmly establish themselves in the Champions League spots.
