Supercomputer predicts full Premier League table after International break
A supercomputer has predicted that Brentford will surprise Manchester United and finish in the top four of the Premier League this season.
United currently sit in fourth place in the Premier League table, level on points with third-place Manchester City, fifth-place Everton, and sixth-place Brighton.
Although Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men are only two points behind league leaders Chelsea, a supercomputer has ruled them out of the title and top four races.
Football Web Pages now predicts that United will finish fifth with 70 points at the end of the season, the same number as sixth-place West Ham.
Brentford will finish fourth with an impressive 74 points, will benefit from United’s failure to secure Champions League football.
Brentford, who were promoted to the Premier League at the end of last season, were predicted to be only two points behind third-placed City by the supercomputer.
Liverpool comfortably secure second place with 89 points, while Chelsea dethrone City as English champions.
According to the supercomputer, Chelsea will only lose one match in the Premier League and will win the title with a total of 99 points.
Everton and Brighton finish seventh and eighth, respectively, while Aston Villa finish ninth and Wolves finish tenth.
Leicester City’s bid to qualify for the Champions League falls far short, with Brendan Rodgers’ side finishing 11th.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s first season in charge of Tottenham has left the club in 12th place, with London rivals Arsenal in 13th place on the same number of points (43).
It’s unclear whether Newcastle’s Saudi-backed takeover resulted in a cash injection during the January transfer window, but the Magpies avoided relegation from the Premier League.
Newcastle, who are currently 19th in the league table, are predicted to finish 17th by the supercomputer.
Burnley, Southampton, and Norwich City have all been relegated to the Championship after failing to escape the drop zone.
The Premier League will resume play on Saturday, following the international break, with 14 teams taking part.
