What do you predict with the final 2024/25 Premier League table?

Less than six weeks of the season to go.

In 40 days time Newcastle United will conclude their season with a home game against Everton on Sunday 25 May with a 4pm kick-off.

Newcastle thrashing Man U 4-1 at the weekend.

Now all of this round of Premier League matches are concluded, with Bournemouth 1-0 at home to Fulham on Monday night.

Premier League results at the weekend concerning clubs in the top half of the table:

Man City 5 Palace 2

Brighton 2 Leicester 2

Forest 0 Everton 1

Southampton 0 Villa 3

Arsenal 1 Brentford 1

Chelsea 2 Ipswich 2

Liverpool 2 West Ham 1

Newcastle 4 Man U 1

Bournemouth 1 Fulham 0

Leaving aside Liverpool, of the other eight clubs (not including Newcastle United) in the top half of the table,, five of them dropped points at the weekend.

This is how the Premier League table now currently (morning of Tuesday 15 April 2025) looks:

When it comes to predicting what that final Premier League table will look like after the 38th round of fixtures in May 2025, Opta have done some updated analysis after this weekend’s Premier League results.

Using their latest data simulations, Opta analysis has shown this as the most likely 2024/25 Premier League table come the end of the season – Predicted final table as at 15 April  2025:

As you can see, a massive change now.

Newcastle United now predicted by the Opta model to end the season in third place on 67 points, eight points behind Arsenal.

With Man City and Forest predicted to be the other two Champions League qualifiers, each a point behind United.

Villa then forecasted to end up sixth on 63 points, four behind Newcastle United.

Every game is huge at this stage of the season but if United can make it six wins in a row (five in the league) against Palace on Wednesday night, they will be third in the table and all teams only having six PL matches to play.

A win tomorrow night would see Newcastle two points ahead of Forest, four ahead of Man City, then most importantly, five points clear of Chelsea, who are sixth and out of the Champions League places as things stand.
