Data predicts a top six finish for the Hammers

Manchester City will be crowned champions with Manchester United securing runners up ten points behind them.

In-depth data analysis by FiveThirtyEight suggests West Ham will finish sixth place this season after the disappointing loss to Everton on Sunday.

The final predicted table suggests Chelsea will hold on to third place on 70 points.

They claim Leicester City are set to hang onto fourth spot on 66 points – just one point ahead of Liverpool in fifth on 65 points.

In sixth place they say is West Ham on 63 points, who are set to finish just three points adrift of Leicester in fifth.

Spurs are two points further back, one ahead of Everton. Arsenal are projected to finish one point ahead of Leeds, with Marcelo Bielsa’s side a woeful tenth.

Sixth place is enough for Europa League next season with Spurs forced to play in the UEFA Europa Conference League if this prediction comes true.

  1. Interesting that the data feels we will pick up a win and two draws from the remaining games.

    For me, Brighton having Dunk and Maupey missing against us, and us having Rice back, will mean a victory for the Irons.
    West Brom are now down and, not a good side anyway.
    Southampton will have nothing to play for on the last day.

    So I see this as 9 points, or potentially 7 if we get caught out by Brighton or Saints. Can’t see us losing any of the 3 games though and that gives us a potential 5th or 6th place, which is huge achievement for Moyes and the squad.

    (Also, I really don’t think Leeds finishing 10th can be considered ‘woeful’ as you have put it. They’ve had a great season for a newly promoted side and are unbeaten at home against all the ‘big’ sides… the last team to do this was ourselves in the last year at the Boleyn!).
