Supercomputer Predicts EPL Table After Man City Thrash Palace

The 2025–26 Premier League title race might have once looked like a forgone conclusion, but countless twists and turns over the last few months have made for a back-and-forth battle between the two best clubs in England.

The Gunners sit in pole position to snag their long-awaited league title, but City are keeping the pressure on the league leaders.

Pep Guardiola’s men bested Crystal Palace 3–0 on Wednesday to come within two points of Arsenal, setting up a thrilling conclusion to the title showdown gripping fans throughout Europe and beyond.

Each team only has two games left to play in the English top-flight this season, and the results will decide who gets crowned champions.

Elsewhere in the table, the race for the Champions League places is fiercer than ever, especially with sixth place potentially qualifying as well. Even more exciting, though, is the battle to stay up between two London rivals.

According to si.com, Here’s how Opta’s supercomputer predicts the Premier League table to look like come the end of May.

Opta remains convinced Arsenal will win their first Premier League title in 22 years. The supercomputer gives the Gunners 85.68% odds to keep their place atop the table come the final matchday, especially since they only have Burnley and Crystal Palace left on their schedule.

Mikel Arteta’s men are predicted to finish with around 83 points, a number boosted by their three most recent league wins. The tally would be the lowest for a Premier League title winner since Leicester City topped the league with 81 points in 2015–16, but Arsenal won’t care.

City certainly will, though. Guardiola’s men are slated to miss out on the English crown by just three points. Despite bouncing back against Brentford and Crystal Palace, their costly draw against Everton sealed their runners-up finish, at least in Opta’s eyes.
