Premier League table predicted by AI with Leeds United, Hull City, Newcastle United & Sunderland verdicts

The beginning of a new Premier League season is edging closer, with pre-season preparations stepping up a notch across the division.

Leeds United will again be competing in the top flight next term having successfully fought against relegation. Whites manager Daniel Farke has lost highly-rated centre-back Pascal Struijk to Brighton & Hove Albion, and experienced goalkeeper Karl Darlow has signed for Manchester United.

However, he has seen his squad strengthened by the additions of Tarik Muharemović and Harry Wilson from Sassuolo and Fulham respectively.

Hull secured promotion from the Championship last season, defeating Middlesbrough 1-0 in the play-off final at Wembley. England-capped goalkeeper Jack Butland is the club’s only signing of the summer so far, but left-back Matt Targett looks set to follow him through the door. More will almost certainly follow before the Tigers officially make their eagerly-anticipated return to the promised land.

Leeds are due to kick off their campaign on the road against Nottingham Forest, whereas Hull will host Manchester United for a high-profile curtain-raiser.

Elsewhere on the opening weekend, Coventry City will visit Arsenal and Everton will lock horns with Crystal Palace. Ipswich Town will host Sunderland, Brentford will take on Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool will visit Newcastle United.

Manchester City will do battle with AFC Bournemouth, Aston Villa will be the visitors at Brighton & Hove Albion and there will be a London derby between Fulham and Chelsea at Craven Cottage.
