Premier League table predictions 2026/27

Arsenal, and then an argument

There is one thing on this page nearly everybody agrees on, and after that the arguing starts. 81% of the 4,541 tables have Arsenal winning the league and 99% have them in the top four, which no other club comes near. Not everybody is convinced: Arsenal turn up in the relegation places on 15 tables, and bottom of the lot on 12, which is not somewhere you land by accident. Below them the certainty runs out quickly. Man City come 2nd on the average but more people actually put them 3rd, and once Arsenal are out of the way the vote for who lifts it splits four ways almost evenly: 5% for City, 4% for Man Utd, 4% for Chelsea and 4% for Liverpool.

Xabi Alonso is the summer's best-backed appointment

Nobody who arrived this summer is getting more confidence than Xabi Alonso. Chelsea finished 10th in May and this table has them up at 3rd, with 72% putting them in the top four. That is a lot of faith in a manager who had not taken charge of a Premier League match when they voted, and it is the sort of thing that does occasionally come off: Chelsea were 10th in 2015/16 and champions the following May.

Spurs, and what 17th was worth

Spurs finished 17th in May and 17th the year before, which is usually enough to tell you where a club belongs. The crowd is not buying it. In the fourteen seasons before those two Spurs never finished below 8th and were 2nd, 3rd or 4th in six of them, and these tables put them back at 7th under Roberto De Zerbi. It is the longest move on the page, and not one the crowd agrees on: the middle of their predictions runs from 5th to 12th, and 2% still have them finishing 17th all over again.

Nobody believes Sunderland's 7th

Sunderland came up, finished 7th on 54 points, and get almost no credit for it here. The tables have them 13th, in a band running from 9th to 17th, and 4% send them straight back down. There is a recent case for the doubt: Forest climbed to 7th in 2024/25 and finished 16th the year after. Leeds came up alongside Sunderland, finished 14th and are predicted 14th, so it is Sunderland's 7th that people are marking down.

The promoted three are already down

The three who came up were written off before a ball was kicked. 62% put Hull City last and 92% have them relegated; 87% do the same to Ipswich and 65% to Coventry. Barely one table in a hundred has any of the three finishing in the top half. History is gentler than the crowd is: all three going straight back down has happened three times in thirty seasons, and although two of those three are recent, last May Sunderland finished 7th.

Aston Villa are the ones making way

Three of last season's top four are expected to stay in it. The exception is Aston Villa, who came 4th and are predicted 6th, with only 10% keeping them in the places, and Chelsea take the spot. Liverpool have taken Andoni Iraola from Bournemouth and the crowd has not moved them for it: 5th last season and 4th here. Bournemouth go from 6th to 9th without him, which is where the crowd thinks the difference lands.

From 7th to 16th, nobody has a clue

There are 7 clubs whose predictions cover eight places or more, and 6.8 places of average separates the lot of them: Spurs 7.5, Brentford 10.2, Newcastle 12.4, Sunderland 13.0, Leeds 13.2, Nott'm Forest 13.8, Fulham 14.3. Nott'm Forest's band runs from 9th to 18th, the widest on the page. The order the five appear in is close to arbitrary, and the managers who arrived here are getting none of Alonso's benefit of the doubt. Oliver Glasner has come in from Crystal Palace and Forest have barely moved for it, 16th in May and 15th here, which at this end of the table is not moving at all. Sunderland aside, the only real fall of the five is Fulham's, 11th in May and 16th here, with 13% of tables sending them down under Álvaro Arbeloa.

• Average is every position that club was given, added up and divided by how many people placed it. Nobody predicted it - it is the middle of a lot of people who disagree.
• Usual range is the band holding the middle 80%. One person in ten put them higher than the first number and one in ten put them lower than the second. This is the column worth looking at: two clubs can share an average and have nothing else in common.
• The strip is the same information without the rounding. A dark block over three or four places is a club the crowd is sure about. A pale band running half the table is a club people genuinely cannot call.
• The thin line on each strip is where the average falls.

Every table on this page was made by a visitor to this site on the Premier League table predictor, by dragging the twenty clubs into the order they think they will finish and sharing the result.

Three rules, so the numbers mean what they say:

• One table per person. The first finished table a browser sends is the one counted. Somebody who reworks their top four in October and shares again does not get a second vote.
• Nothing is attached to it. No account, no name, no email, no address. There is nothing stored here that says who sent any of these tables, including from people who were signed in.
• It is a survey, not a forecast. This site publishes no prediction of its own, here or anywhere. What is above is what several thousand people think, which is a different and more interesting thing.

Crowds here have form, and it is measurable. Seven seasons of match predictions show which clubs the predictors on this site consistently overrate - worth reading against the top of the table above.

It takes about a minute, there is no sign-up, and your table is counted into everything on this page. You also get a picture of it to send to whoever needs telling.

If a whole season sounds better than one table: the rest of this site is a prediction game where you call the score of every match, week by week, in a private league with your mates. Free, no ads, and everyone's picks stay hidden until kick-off.

Who do most people think will win the Premier League in 2026/27?

Arsenal. 81% of the 4,541 tables sent in have them finishing top, which is more than any other club - though it is what those people think rather than a forecast.

Where do these Premier League table predictions come from?

From visitors to this site. Anybody can drag the twenty clubs into their predicted order and share the finished table, and it is counted here - once per person, with nothing attached to say who sent it.

How many predictions is this based on?

4,541 tables so far this season, and it goes up every day. Tables shared without a single club being moved are left out, because that is the starting order coming back rather than a prediction.

What does the average place mean?

Add up the position everybody gave a club and divide by how many people placed it. A club averaging 3.4 is one most people put third or fourth. It is an average, so no single person predicted it - somebody has to be at each end.

What is the usual range?

The band that holds the middle 80% of predictions for that club - one in ten put them higher and one in ten put them lower. A narrow band is a club everybody agrees about; a wide one is an argument.

Can I add my own prediction?

Yes, and it takes about a minute. Make your table on the predictor page and share it, and it joins the table predictions above.
