AliousAI Predicts Final Premier League Table for 2025/26 – Brighton in Euro Hunt as West Ham Face Survival Scrap
As the dust settles on a dramatic Premier League season, Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma has spoken candidly about where the Seagulls can improve going into 2025/26. Despite finishing an impressive eighth, Albion missed out on European qualification after Crystal Palace’s FA Cup triumph over Manchester City handed the Eagles a continental ticket instead.
Mitoma believes Brighton’s next step hinges on better game management. “We drew too many matches we should’ve won. That hurt us,” he admitted. “But we also showed character in comebacks. It’s been a season of ‘what ifs’ in a league where every margin matters.”
The big question now: Can Brighton finally crack the top six? According to Grok AI, a generative chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s xAI, Brighton may be on the cusp of achieving just that.
Grok AI forecasts another exciting year for Roberto De Zerbi’s side, predicting a 7th-place finish that could land them in the UEFA Conference League — depending on domestic cup outcomes. Their high-pressing, possession-based style remains a threat to many top sides, and a few summer additions could push them even higher.
Brighton’s rise contrasts sharply with West Ham, who the AI expects to tumble to 16th after another turbulent campaign under Julen Lopetegui and a brief spell with Graham Potter. Struggles with consistency, underperforming stars, and a loss of identity contribute to the Hammers’ grim forecast, just scraping above the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace are tipped to ride the momentum of their FA Cup win and Oliver Glasner’s tactical revolution to an 8th-place finish, powered by standout performances from Eberechi Eze and a growing core of confident, dynamic players.
Elsewhere in the AI’s table:
* Liverpool are backed to retain the title, just ahead of Arsenal.
* Manchester City slip to 3rd, while Newcastle break into the top four.
* Sunderland, newly promoted and full of optimism, are projected to finish 20th, with Grok AI citing Premier League inexperience and a thin squad as fatal weaknesses.
In short, Brighton may finally be knocking on Europe’s door again, West Ham are on red alert, and Crystal Palace are flying high. If AI has it right, 2025/26 could be another season of seismic shifts.
