AI tips Arsenal for 2026-27 title as Leeds prepare for season two | OneFootball

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Google Ask Gemini expects Arsenal to finish first in its projection of the 2026-27 Premier League, part of a full-table forecast requested ahead of the new season.

Leeds United and Sunderland both avoided relegation in their first year back, ending the newly-promoted curse.

Daniel Farke’s side ended 14th, eight points clear, with safety assured with three matches to spare.

Sunderland secured Europa League qualification with a superb seventh place finish. Burnley, Wolves and West Ham went down, to be replaced by Coventry City, Ipswich Town and Hull City as champions, runners-up and play-off winners respectively.

Bookmakers have Coventry, Ipswich and Hull among the favourites to return to the Championship, and the second season back is often viewed as the trickier one.

Gemini’s predicted top six reads: first Arsenal, second Manchester City, third Liverpool, fourth Manchester United, fifth Chelsea, sixth Aston Villa.

Arsenal are backed to retain the crown with a maturing, battle-tested core. City are placed second amid post-Pep uncertainty, while Liverpool are positioned for a rebound.

United are viewed as trending up, with Bruno Fernandes influential. Chelsea’s potential comes with a need for consistency from Cole Palmer and others, and Villa are tipped to entrench themselves in Europe.
