Data experts predict final Premier League table: Where Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Tottenham, Everton and Crystal Palace are set to finish - gallery
Computer simulations have predicted the final Premier League table for the 2023/24 season.
The 2023/24 Premier League season is now well underway with a dozen matches played by all 20 clubs before the November international break.
Aston Villa heading Manchester United and Newcastle United to be just one point off the Champions League spots is probably the biggest shock yet, but there have been plenty of others.
Tottenham Hotspur are well in the fight for the title, Chelsea have failed to respond too well to their poor season, and Wolverhampton Wanderers are just one point away from the top half, for instance.
Yet more drama is set to play out throughout the next seven months as there are still 26 games to play, making major shake-ups in the table likely. A recent 10-point deduction for Everton also spices things up.
Data experts at BetVictor are forecasting lots of changes to the final standings in their latest prediction. Based on over 10,000 computer simulations that take into account results and match data, here's how the table could look at the end of May.
1. 20th: Sheffield United - 23 points
Goal difference: -51
2. 19th: Burnley - 25 points
Goal difference: -45
3. 18th: Luton Town - 29 points
Goal difference: -35
4. 17th: Everton - 32 points (after 10-point deduction)
Goal difference: -16
