Predicted 2025–26 Premier League Table
- Arsenal, they are finally ready to go the distance. Young core now mature; smart transfers will be decisive.
- Manchester City, Still world-class but possible fatigue and tricky early fixtures could derail five-peat dream.
- Liverpool, Arne Slot’s system might click faster than expected and continue from where they left off last season because their squad is still strong and motivated.
- Chelsea, Huge potential under Enzo Maresca. With new additions top spot or four is realistic If key players stay fit.
- Manchester United, Inconsistency, tactical uncertainty may cost them a Champions League spot again but anything can happen in football.
- Newcastle United, Better than last year, but not enough to crack the top four as things stand.
- Tottenham Hotspur, Entertaining under former boss Postecoglou, with aleaky defence and no Kane still they will still have problem but with a new coach they might surprise a lot of people.
- Brighton & Hove Albion , Smart recruitment keeps them competitive despite departures.
- Aston Villa, Slight regression expected with European distraction and fixture congestion. They stand a better chance of winning a European trophy than making top 4.
- West Ham United, After the departure of David Moyes’ things have been up and down for the Harmers so a stable but unremarkable mid-table finish won’t be bad.
- Brentford, Ivan Toney’s departure affected the team in no way as Wissa and Mbuemo stepped up and exceeded all expectations.
- Crystal Palace, Still defensively strong; could surprise many this season after beating Manchester City to clinch the FA Cup last season.
- Everton, As usual they will grind out enough points at home to stay clear of danger but with a new home ground things may not be the same anymore.
- Fulham, Safe, but squad depth could hurt them in winter as it did last season.
- Bournemouth, Survival likely, but depends on their form early in the season.
- Nottingham Forest , did the unimaginable only to drop out of the champions league race not because of their poor form but because others did enough to push them down. This time they might not have the will power to go that far as did Leicester after their surprise league triumph in 2016.
- Sunderland, Just enough to survive thanks to passionate players and smart additions.
- Leads United, admirable style but will struggle against top-half sides.
- Wolverhampton Wonderers , Off-field issues, lack of goals, and instability may finally catch up.
- Burnley, Attacking intent will be punished at this level; likely to finish bottom.
