Premier League 26/27 predicted table: Where are Sunderland likely to finish? | OneFootball

Sunderland are predicted to finish 16th on 40 points in the 2026/27 Premier League. According to Sunderland Echo, the forecast table has them narrowly clear of the drop zone.

The Black Cats secured seventh last season in their first top-flight campaign in nine years, ensuring Europa League football. The Stadium of Light will stage European matches for the first time.

A final day win against Chelsea, coupled with results elsewhere, sealed a Europa League berth alongside Bayer Leverkusen, Olympique Marseille, AC Milan and Juventus.

While Europe will command attention, Regis Le Bris and his staff are targeting progress in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, and seeking to sustain league momentum. A busy summer window is anticipated to strengthen the squad.

The predicted top seven reads: Arsenal 86, Manchester City 78, Liverpool 75, Manchester United 68, Chelsea 66, Aston Villa 63, Tottenham Hotspur 63.

Newcastle United 57, Brighton and Hove Albion 55 and Bournemouth 53 make the top half, with Brentford 49 and Everton 47 next. Fulham 43, Leeds United 42 and Crystal Palace 41 follow.

Below Sunderland on 40 come Nottingham Forest on 36. The bottom three are forecast as Hull City 33, Ipswich Town 27 and Coventry City 24.
