With just three games left in the 2024/25 Premier League season, excitement is reaching fever pitch—but not everyone is buying what the supercomputers are selling. One recent prediction has Chelsea fans rolling their eyes and sharpening their keyboards.

A supercomputer has forecasted that Chelsea will finish sixth this season, claiming the Blues will pick up just four more points from their final three matches. According to the simulation, Liverpool (already crowned champions) will be followed by Arsenal, Manchester City, Newcastle, and Aston Villa in the top five.

While it’s great news that five English teams will qualify for the Champions League next season—thanks to England’s strong UEFA coefficient—it’s baffling to see Chelsea, currently pushing hard for a top-four spot, being written off so quickly.

The computer assumes Aston Villa will win all three of their remaining matches, leapfrogging Chelsea in the process. That’s a bold call, especially considering Unai Emery’s side hasn’t shown the same consistency under pressure that Maresca’s rejuvenated Chelsea have been displaying in recent weeks.

More surprising? Manchester United and Tottenham are predicted to finish 14th and 16th respectively, though both could still sneak into the Champions League by winning the Europa League. That’s quite the rollercoaster.

Depending on the outcomes of the FA Cup and Europa League finals, up to 10 English clubs could find themselves in Europe next season—potentially including Chelsea, even outside of a top-five finish.

But for Chelsea fans, one thing is clear: this prediction doesn’t line up with the form, the talent, or the momentum the Blues have gathered. Chelsea are clicking into gear at just the right time. With standout performances from Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson, and a revitalised midfield, the team looks more like top-four contenders than sixth-place stragglers.

As always, the only “supercomputer” that truly matters is the pitch.

Prediction or not, Chelsea control their destiny. Bring on the final three games.
