Premier League predictions 2026-27: BBC Sport pundits pick their top four
We ask 26 BBC Sport football pundits to predict who will win the 2026-27 Premier League title, and which clubs will finish in the top four.
The 2026-27 Premier League season is set to be an intriguing one, as BBC Sport pundits and artificial intelligence have made their predictions. Arsenal, last season's champions, are favored to defend their title, with 89% of the pundits believing they will successfully defend their crown. The Gunners' continuity, with manager Mikel Arteta at the helm, and the addition of players like Bruno Guimaraes have strengthened their squad.
Theo Walcott highlights the team's advantage of continuity, while Thomas Hitzlsperger emphasizes their familiarity with winning football. However, not everyone is convinced, with some pundits suggesting that other teams could challenge for the top four spots. Ultimately, Arsenal's chances look promising, but the title race remains competitive.
