“Dramatic Return for Leeds” – Leeds United Face Brutal Premier League Reality as Supercomputer Predicts Dramatic Return

Leeds United Face Brutal Premier League Reality as Supercomputer Predicts Dramatic Return

With the 2025-26 Premier League season creeping closer, the anticipation is already high — and so is the speculation. A recent prediction by GIVEMESPORT, using X’s Grok AI tool, has delivered a full table forecast that leaves some big clubs grinning and others bracing for disaster. For Leeds United, the outlook is especially stark.

Despite hijacking a transfer target wanted by several top clubs, the newly-promoted Championship winners aren’t expected to survive the top flight. “Promoted via the Championship, Leeds face a tough return,” the AI bluntly suggests. “Supercomputers and AI suggest they’ll go straight back down, continuing the trend of promoted teams struggling.”

This isn’t exactly the uplifting prediction Leeds fans would have hoped for after their dramatic promotion under Daniel Farke. His shaky top-flight record appears to weigh heavily on the model’s calculations. Leeds are tipped to finish rock bottom with just 24 points, behind fellow strugglers Burnley and Wolves.

Burnley, who stormed up as runners-up in the Championship, are forecast to follow Leeds straight back down. “Despite a strong Championship season, Scott Parker’s side may struggle, with potential losses like James Trafford weakening their defence,” says the AI.

Wolves, meanwhile, could be the big established casualty this season. “AI models predict relegation after losing Matheus Cunha to Manchester United, with Vitor Pereira struggling to replace his output.”

One bright spark for newly promoted sides comes in the form of Sunderland. Returning to the Premier League for the first time since 2017, the Black Cats squeaked through the play-offs and are now forecast to cling on in 17th. “The only promoted team AI predicts to survive, with 30 points under Regis Le Bris, though they’ll face challenges in their first season back since 2016/17.”

Further up the table, the AI sees Arsenal finishing as bridesmaids once more. “After three consecutive second-place finishes, Mikel Arteta’s side are poised for another strong campaign.” Liverpool, under Arne Slot, are tipped to retain their crown: “Defending champions with a strong squad bolstered by signings like Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz.”

Manchester United fans may have to steel themselves for another grim slog. Amorim’s rebuilding project is expected to crawl only as high as 11th: “A tough opening schedule and a thin squad suggest a gradual climb to mid-table.”

Even Tottenham, fresh from a European triumph, are warned that consistency could remain elusive. “After a disappointing 2024/25 (near the drop zone), Thomas Frank’s side should improve with Champions League funds but may struggle to crack the top half.”

Brentford and Nottingham Forest are tipped to stay mid-table surprises, while Everton are forecast a steady, if unspectacular, season under David Moyes. Newcastle United, Chelsea and Aston Villa look set to battle for the European spots again, but Manchester City could find themselves repeating last year’s frustrations: “Despite a trophyless 2024/25, Pep Guardiola’s squad remains formidable. A bounce-back is expected, though the Club World Cup could strain their early season.”

As it stands, the data models have spoken — but whether Leeds, or any club on the predicted chopping block, can rip up the script is what makes football worth watching.
