The 2020/21 Premier League season is already creeping up on us.
The three-month break necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic means that the gap between England's top flight has never been smaller and we're now within 15 days of the first game kicking off.
The new campaign faces the unprecedented circumstances of starting behind closed doors, or with reduced crowds at best, while squads have little in the way of a break and transfer sagas roll on until October.
2020/21 season approaching
In other words, trying to predict how the 2020/21 Premier League table will finish is downright impossible.
Nevertheless, when has that ever stopped people from trying? Besides, it's always hilarious to see how terrible the predictions of fans, pundits and even technology look at the end of each season.
Here at GIVEMESPORT, we've already chanced our arm with a prediction that - how shall we say? - went down better in Manchester than it did Liverpool, but we're going one step further today.
How will the season play out?
That's because, as much as we hate to admit, we don't have the brain power of a supercomputer and seldom does a season go by without one trying to calculate the Premier League table.
And the resident supercomputer at unikrn, per the Burnley Express, has churned out its prediction for the 2020/21 campaign and it makes for difficult reading if you're a Liverpool supporter.
A unikrn spokesperson remarked: "Liverpool's time as champions of England will be short-lived and Manchester City will snatch back their crown, if the predictions are correct.
"One thing that won't change this season will be Tottenham's continued dominance in the league over rivals Arsenal."

GIVEMESPORT's Kobe Tong says
Hold me back, hold me back.
Look, I don't pretend to have a memory measured in tebibytes and when I work on my core at the gym, it's not CPUs that I'm flexing, but I'm not having this, Mr. Supercomputer.
Jokes aside, I'm pretty much in agreement with the top half of the table and aside from having both Liverpool and Tottenham one place higher than I did, it's actually identical to my own prediction.
However, it's the bottom half of the table that makes me particularly bewildered.
Brighton finishing as highly as 13th is a strange one. Graham Potter made his team pretty hard to beat at times last season, sure, but they have one of the weakest squads in the division in my eyes.
And although I can see Sheffield United suffering from second-season-syndrome, as I'm sure we all can, 14th seems completely over the top, especially putting them below Leeds.
Speaking of which, I think unikrn must have plugged their supercomputer into Twitter because as much as I think Marcelo Bielsa's men will stay up, it seems as though they're reading into the hype.
Newcastle in 17th? Burnley in 15th? Nope, nopety, nope nope.
All that being said, I guess we'll have to wait until the end of the season because, as I've said, anything can happen in the Premier League and particularly in unprecedented times like these.
I'll get working on my 17.59 petaFLOPS speed in the mean time...
