Leeds United are heading for their second season back in the Premier League - ahead of which a new AI supercomputer has made a big Whites call in its predicted final table.
Ahead of the 2026-27 campaign, the experts at Tipman Tips fed an AI supercomputer information about each Premier League team and asked it to simulate the season to predict how the Premier League table will look at the end of the season.
Featuring particularly big Leeds, Sunderland and Nottingham Forest calls, here are the results with their reasoning for each team’s finishing position.
