Arsenal discover 2026/27 Premier League title verdict as supercomputer predicts full table
Arsenal will successfully defend their Premier League crown according to a supercomputer, with the Gunners predicted to hold off Manchester City for a second successive season and retain their place at the summit of English football by three points.
Mikel Arteta's side have been touted to have another gruelling title race with City, who will be looking to enjoy a smooth transition from Pep Guardiola to Enzo Maresca. However, the former Leicester City and Chelsea boss has been tipped to endure a disappointing debut season in Greater Manchester, as their 85-point haul will not be enough according to the supercomputer.
Arsenal are said to have a 45 percent chance of winning the Premier League title, seven percent higher than City. Liverpool, under new head coach Andoni Iraola, are tipped to finish third but some nine points behind City and 14 points behind eventual winners Arsenal. The Reds, who won the Premier League in 2025, are predicted to enjoy a better season than Arne Slot's final campaign, but the Basque isn't expected to replicate the debut campaign success of his predecessor.
Chelsea have been tipped to complete the top four, finishing four points behind Liverpool. Aston Villa have been predicted to finish just outside the top four but ahead of Manchester United, who have enjoyed a summer splurge thus far. The Red Devils are said to finish four points behind Villa and seven off Chelsea in the hunt for Champions League football.
Arsenal's North London rivals Spurs are expected to just creep into the top half of the table with 57 points in Roberto De Zerbi's first full season. All three newly promoted teams have been tipped to immediately slip back into the second tier. Regis Le Bris's Sunderland have been predicted to avoid relegation by the skin of their teeth, finishing three points clear of Ipswich Town. Coventry City, who Arsenal host on the opening day of the season, are expected to muster 27 points, eight more than playoff winners Hull City. The supercomputer has predicted that Hull will accumulate just 19 points, level with Sunderland in 2003 and Portsmouth in 2010.
