With all but one Premier League team having now played 32 games, it is a good opportunity to look at the latest final league positions predicted by Opta.

The statisticians run simulations on 1000s of fixtures and then place a probability on where every club will finish come the final day in May.

With there now only being six matches remaining until the end of the season, fans will be intrigued to discover where their team could end up in the final standings.

Press the next page as we go through the predicted final Premier League table for the 2023/24 season (as of 18th April 2024).

The 3 relegated teams

20th: Sheffield United
19th: Burnley
18th: Luton Town

Sheffield United are all but relegated. They are ten points adrift of 17th place Nottingham Forest with six games remaining.

Burnley look to be condemned to the same fate. The Clarets did pick up a draw at home to Brighton last time out but they need wins at this stage.

Without getting a string of victories under their belts, it’s very unlikely that Vincent Kompany’s men will get out of trouble.

As for Luton, they still have a fighting chance of staying up, with the point deductions for Everton and Forest certainly helping their cause.

Narrowly missing out on the drop

17th: Nottingham Forest
16th: Everton
15th: Brentford
14th: Crystal Palace

Forest and Everton face each other in a massive six-pointer this weekend but the odds are still in favour of both teams surviving the drop.

Brentford’s victory over Sheffield United last Saturday has allowed them to stay well clear of the relegation zone.

However, Thomas Frank’s side do have consecutive away fixtures coming up against Luton Town and Everton so their situation could still change if they lose both matches.

After their sensational win over Liverpool at Anfield, Palace have likely secured their top-flight status for another season.

Mid-table mediocrity

13th: Bournemouth
12th: Fulham
11th: Wolverhampton Wanderers
10th: Brighton & Hove Albion

Both Bournemouth and Fulham have been battling indifferent form recently, but the pair did perform well in their last games against Manchester United and West Ham respectively.

Wolves don’t have a lot to play for, with a mid-table finish looking very likely, but they could still affect the title race.

Gary O’Neil’s side host Arsenal at home this weekend, while they also take on both Manchester City and Liverpool next month.

Brighton are seemingly drifting to a rather underwhelming end to the season. European qualification looks well beyond their reach after their draw against Burnley.

Top 10 competitors

9th: West Ham United
8th: Chelsea
7th: Manchester United
6th: Newcastle United

Newcastle’s 4-0 thrashing of Tottenham and Chelsea’s 6-0 win over Everton has lit up the race for European qualification.

The Magpies currently sit above Manchester United on goal difference while the Blues are now three points behind but with a game in hand.

West Ham have not been performing particularly well lately, having lost at home to Fulham last Sunday.

While the Hammers are currently sitting in 8th place, Opta predicts that they will drop down a place before the end of the campaign.

Champions League qualification

5th: Tottenham Hotspur
4th: Aston Villa
3rd: Liverpool
2nd: Arsenal
1st: Manchester City

Spurs’s comprehensive defeat to Newcastle has seriously damaged their prospects of a top 4 finish, especially after Aston Villa’s shock win at the Emirates.

That defeat for Arsenal could prove fatal for their title hopes. They are now two points adrift of City; as are Liverpool after their surprise loss to Palace.

Considering that Pep Guardiola’s side are usually very strong frontrunners, you would back them to win their final six games.

If that happens, the Cityzens will secure their sixth league title in seven seasons.
