• Research undertaken by 888Sport had Premier League fans predict where their side will finish at the end of the season

  • Arsenal top the table, ahead of holder Manchester City

  • Newcastle miss out on top 4

  • Everton set to be relegated for first time, according to fans


Research undertaken by betting giants, 888Sport has asked Premier League supporters to predict where their side will finish at the end of the season. The results from the survey have been formulated to create a final Premier League Table Prediction.

The 2022/23 season has now reached its half-way point, and it has been one which has already thrown up some surprise packages. With an unprecedented mid-season World Cup now out of the way, the focus is back on the clubs. 

At the half way point, it is Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal who lead the pack, and it is the Gunners who are expecting to hold on to that lead, and win their first Premier League title since 2003/04. 57% of Arsenal fans back their team to lift the trophy. 

The rest of the top 4 is made up by Manchester City, Manchester United, and Liverpool. Newcastle, Tottenham, and Chelsea complete the top 7 and snatch European places.

At the other end of the table, it is bleak reading for Southampton fans, who sit bottom of the table, with 44% of their fan base believing they will get relegated.

Bournemouth and Everton are set to join Saints in the Championship according to the survey results, with Nottingham Forest avoiding the drop in 17th place.
