Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs As the Premier League enters the business end of the season, Opta have predicted the final standings of all 20 clubs as Liverpool close in on a historic 20th title victoryOpta have predicted the final Premier League tableAs we head into the final run of Premier League games, Opta’s supercomputer has predicted how the final table will look on May 25. Following the conclusion of matchday 29, the final international break of the campaign has begun and almost every side has just nine games left to play.Newcastle and Crystal Palace are the two outliers due to the Magpies’ Carabao Cup triumph on Sunday. Beaten finalists Liverpool, though, got their game out of the way last month as they drew 2-2 with Aston Villa.Despite seeing their Champions League and Carabao Cup hopes ended last week, Liverpool remain 12 points clear in the title race and Opta is confident Arne Slot’s side will win the league. Liverpool have been given a 99.13 per cent chance of triumph, while Arsenal have a 0.87 per cent chance of overturning the 12 point deficit.READ MORE: Liverpool star’s Wembley misery could be final Reds game as Chelsea and Spurs moves hijackedREAD MORE: Liverpool line up two transfer moves for flying full-backs as Myles Lewis-Skelly delightedInstead, Opta believe Arsenal will finish second and Nottingham Forest, Manchester City and Newcastle will join them in qualifying for next season’s Champions League. Although it is only the top four that typically qualify for the tournament, the Premier League looks set to be given an extra place as they currently top the UEFA coefficient rankings.Chelsea, who currently sit fourth in the league, have been tipped to finish sixth and miss out on Champions League football for the third consecutive campaign. Opta has only given the Blues a 24.40 per cent chance of qualification.Chelsea have not been at their best in recent weeks, losing three of their last five league games, while star man Cole Palmer is without a goal in his last ten matches. Brighton have been tipped to finish seventh, followed by Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Fulham, Crystal Palace and Brentford.All six of those teams have been given a slender chance of making a late push for the Champions League. Manchester United, though, have been backed to finish 13th and are the first club with no chance of reaching the Champions League following an awful campaign so far.Liverpool have one hand on the Premier League trophy(Image: Liverpool FC)They are followed by Tottenham, West Ham, Everton and Wolves. The bottom three is predicted to remain the same, with all three promoted teams going straight back down. Southampton have been given no chance to save themselves and Saints boss Ivan Juric has already admitted his side “will go down”.Leicester have been given a 99.54 per cent of joining them, with Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side having become the first side in Premier League history to lose seven straight home games without scoring.Ipswich have a 99.23 per cent chance of going down, but have failed to pick up a league victory in 2025. Wolves are the only other club which Opta believe could be dragged into the relegation places, but only have a 1.22 per cent chance of going down after picking up an important three points against Southampton on Saturday.”It was very important for us in this moment in the season,” Wolves boss Vitor Pereira said after the game. “I think it was difficult for sure, we suffered a bit in the last 10 because we wanted to keep the three points. I think in this moment it was important to make the difference and have the difference to the other teams. Nine points is better than six.”Opta’s Predicted Premier League Table1.
