Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal: Revisiting our Premier League table prediction for 2021/22

The 2021/22 Premier League season has finally concluded.

Manchester City were crowned champions with a dramatic comeback on Sunday afternoon, fighting back from 2-0 down against Aston Villa to ensure that Liverpool couldn’t pip them to the post.

Nevertheless, the Reds will be joining their conquerers in the Champions League next season as they rounded off the top four alongside Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.

Meanwhile, at the opposite end of the table, the trio of Norwich City, Watford and Burnley dropped down to the Championship to make way for Fulham, Bournemouth and the eventual play-off winners.

As such, now is very much the time for reflection and we’re most certainly not alone in nervously looking back at all the predictions that we made before the 2021/22 campaign even kicked off.

Here at GIVEMESPORT, we’ve already hung our heads in shame at the state of our Team of the Season forecast and let’s just say that our projection for the final Premier League table wasn’t much better.

Which, believe it or not, actually came as something of a shock considering that yours truly correctly predicted the exact order of the top four for the 2020/21 season ahead of time.

But alas, the Premier League table that your humble GMS writer thought we’d all be looking at now when I drew it up on August 9, 2020, has instead aged like milk stored in a sauna in the Sahara desert… in summer.

So, let’s all take a walk down memory lane and see how badly our predicted 2021/22 Premier League table looks now that the final standings have been confirmed – check it out:
