Chelsea are being predicted to miss out on Champions League football, on course to land 64 points, three more than Manchester United in sixth place.

Even without Potter, Brighton are being tipped to secure Conference League football with a seventh place finish, with Newcastle United, Brentford and Crystal Palace all securing top-half finishes.

Leicester City are being predicted to continue their struggles, but the supercomputer suggests they will dodge relegation.

Big-spenders Nottingham Forest are tipped to finish bottom, with Bournemouth and Everton following them to the Championship.
