According to a supercomputer final league table predictions, Chelsea will finish the season in the top half.
Chelsea have started the season poorly, and have won just one league game this season. The Blues are currently 14th in the league standings.
An algorithm designed by the website Bettingexpert was run 100,000 times on their supercomputer. The latest results as well as the team’s last season and pre-season performances were taken into account.
Manchester City have been backed to finish as Premier League Champions for the sixth time in the last seven seasons, while also making them the first side to win four straight titles.
Rivals, Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle United have been backed to claim the Champions League spots.
Tottenham Hotspur were backed to finish in fifth place, Manchester United to finish sixth, and Chelsea to finish ninth.
At the other end, Burnley, Luton Town and Sheffield United – the three newly- promoted sides – were expected to go right back to the Championship.
Chelsea finished in 12th place last season. Mauricio Pochettino has vowed that the Blues will finish in a European place this season, but results have to start changing now.
