Manchester City are favourites to win the Premier League this season after the latest round of fixtures, according to a new supercomputer prediction.
All three teams were in action over the weekend in another gameweek full of twists and turns.
Arsenal comfortably dispatched of Brighton & Hove Albion 3-0 away from home after Kevin De Bruyne led City to a 4-2 victory at Crystal Palace.
The latest twist came on Sunday afternoon when Liverpool failed to beat fierce rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Jurgen Klopp’s men were at their best in the first-half but were pegged back by two goals from United.
Mohamed Salah rescued a point from the penalty spot in the second half meaning the Reds missed out on the chance to go back to the top of the Premier League. Arsenal currently lead the way thanks to their superior goal difference.
The Gunners’ hopes of becoming champions of England for the first time in two decades have increased by 7.6%, according to statistical data specialists Opta (from 21.4% to 29%). Man City, who have been favourites according to Opta’s data for most of the season, have also seen an increase of 6.1% to 39.7%.
Liverpool’s chances have taken a huge hit with Opta predicting their chances have fallen 13.7% from 45% to 31.3% – still more than Arsenal’s despite sitting below them.
According to BonusCodeBets, Pep Guardiola’s men are now the favourites to win an impressive fourth straight Premier League title.
The supercomputer provided by the bookmakers has predicted City to pip Arsenal to the title.
Both teams are in UEFA Champions League action this week and have potential slip-ups in their remaining league fixtures between now and May 19. But, it seems as though Arsenal continue to fly under the radar.
