Premier League predicted table: Where Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool & Chelsea will finish - gallery
A tricky start to the Premier League season doesn’t look to get any easier as the stats experts at Opta have their say on where the campaign will go.
Unrest continues to reign supreme at Manchester United and a 3-0 drubbing from Brighton & Hove Albion in front of the Old Trafford faithful on Saturday won't have done the club any favours.
Erik ten Hag's tenure as Red Devils boss has been marked by an iron fist approach to discipline with Jadon Sancho the latest to be frozen out the side for an off-the-pitch disagreement.
United currently sit in the bottom half of the Premier League after the opening five fixtures with three losses and two wins to begin the campaign. There's a long way to go this season but supporters will know change needs to happen soon. Here's where the stat experts at Opta predict Manchester United will finish in the league.
