BREAKING NEWS: The Supercomputer that predicted Arsenal to bottle the league 3 times in a row have again predicted where Arsenal will end up on the table again this season after City 115 charges today
The final Premier League standings have been forecast following the most recent round of matches – and it’s promising news for Manchester United. The Reds are battling for a spot in the Champions League, which requires a top-four finish to ensure participation in next season’s tournament.
Fifth place could potentially secure a Champions League berth due to England’s impressive UEFA coefficient, although that is not yet confirmed at this point in the season.
United climbed back to fourth in the Premier League table courtesy of their 1-0 victory over Everton on Monday Night Football, while Chelsea trail by three points in fifth.
Despite their win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday, Liverpool remain in sixth position. Now, a new prediction has surfaced regarding the final league standings.
Arsenal are tipped to clinch the title with 82 (81.72) points, while Manchester City are predicted to finish second with 76 (75.86) points. The Gunners have been given a 100 per cent chance of qualifying for the Champions League, while City are almost certain to secure a spot in the competition with a 99.55 per cent probability.
Aston Villa are tipped to secure third place with 70 (69.56) points, while Liverpool are backed to round off the top four with 65 (64.57) points. United trail just behind Liverpool in the projected table with 64 (64.34) points, placing them fifth in the final standings.
Liverpool have been assigned a 47.1 per cent probability of securing a Champions League spot, while United’s chances are slightly lower at 44.15 per cent.
A fifth-place finish would likely be sufficient for United to qualify for next season’s Champions League, as England is set to retain its position atop UEFA’s coefficients list.
Following the completion of the league phase and group stages, England sits at the summit of the UEFA rankings due to the performances of all clubs participating in the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.
If England secures a top-two finish in UEFA’s coefficients list, they will be awarded an additional qualification spot for next season’s Champions League.
Six Premier League sides took part in this season’s Champions League after England was awarded an additional qualification place, while Tottenham Hotspur secured their spot in the competition following their triumph in the Europa League final.
