But will Howe’s side be able to carry-on this momentum and despite hope that they could qualify for Europe, there will undoubtedly be fierce competition from their rivals for a European place.

Here, we take a look to see if this optimism is shared by the FiveThirtyEight supercomputer to see how the final 2022/23 Premier League table could look:
