According to their projections, Arsenal will be crowned champions of England with 80 points, leaving behind Manchester City and Liverpool, who are both expected to finish with 69 points each.
The top four is completed by Chelsea, with 60 points, securing a place in the Champions League, while Aston Villa, also with 60 points, ranks fifth.

The three relegated teams, according to Opta’s analysis, are Nottingham Forest, West Ham United, and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Opta’s forecast is based on an in-depth analysis of data, player performances, and statistical trends—but it remains to be seen whether reality on the pitch will follow this predicted scenario.
