A supercomputer has predicted what the final Premier League table would look like at the end of the 2021/22 season.
There are more than 10 games to be played after the second half of the campaign kicked off in earnest, with other teams having as many as 18 matches to play.
Man City, Liverpool, and Chelsea already look set to seal the top three slots on the standings, leaving as many as five teams scrambling for the final Champions League spot.
Man United, Arsenal, Tottenham, Wolves, and West Ham all stand a position of finishing in the top four, with just seven points separating the Red Devils in fourth and Spurs who sit eighth.
Supercomputer's prediction
Despite United currently occupying the fourth spot, The Sun, citing a supercomputer has predicted Arsenal will leapfrog them to a top-four finish at the end of the season.
The Gunners currently have three games in hand on the Red Devils which the supercomputer has backed the north Londoners to win to overtake Ralf Rangnick's men on the table.
United have been predicted to finish fifth on the log in what would be a frustrating campaign for them as they are hoping to attract a big-name manager and players to Old Trafford this summer.
Meanwhile, their fellow Champions League hopefuls Spurs and West Ham are expected to finish in sixth and seventh place respectively.
So who would win the league?
While Liverpool have a chance to close the gap on Man City in the title race, the supercomputer has tipped Pep Guardiola's charges to get the job done and retain the domestic crown.
