Supercomputer's new Premier League forecast after Leeds United, Crystal Palace, Burnley and West Ham deals

Opta have predicted where the likes of Leeds United, Crystal Palace and West Ham United will finish in the Premier League table.

The winter transfer window has officially closed, making predictions slightly easier to make. Clubs now know which players they can rely upon in the coming months as they look to achieve their goals.

Leeds made just one signing during the window, landing Argentina-capped playmaker Facundo Buonanotte on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion. The Whites did pursue a deal for Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Jorgen Strand Larsen, but were unable to match the bid tabled by Crystal Palace.

There was a sense of frustration shared by some Leeds fans as the window closed, intensified by the work done by West Ham United to strengthen late on.

The mood at Elland Road was not helped by a 4-0 defeat to Arsenal, although losses for relegation battle rivals West Ham and Burnley softened the blow. The former were beaten by Chelsea and the latter fell to a 3-0 defeat on the road against Sunderland.

Elsewhere, it ended 1-1 between Brighton & Hove Albion and Everton, Wolves lost to AFC Bournemouth and Liverpool thumped Newcastle United.

Aston Villa were edged out by Brentford, Manchester United got the better of Fulham and Nottingham Forest drew with Crystal Palace.

The spoils were also shared in North London, where Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City played out a 2-2 draw.

Following the latest results and the closure of the transfer window, data experts Opta have predicted how the final Premier League table will look.
