Supercomputer Predicts Final Premier League Table After Arsenal Opens Four Point Lead at the Top

• Pep Guardiola's Manchester City have been backed to win the Premier League this season ahead of Arsenal
• This is despite the Gunners having a dream start to the campaign that has seen them open a four-point gap over second-placed City
• Liverpool and Chelsea have both been tipped to complete the top-four slots, with Man United and Spurs settling for a Europa League spot

A supercomputer has made a prediction for the final Premier League standings, after Arsenal took a comfortable lead at the top.

The Gunners are currently enjoying a fine run of results, winning nine of their last 10 Premier League outings.

Mikel Arteta's charges have dropped points just once so far this season, with the defeat coming during their trip to Old Trafford in September.

Over and above that, Arsenal have been in scintillating form, with the side currently leading the charts with 27 points.

The north Londoners have a four-point advantage over Man City, who faltered in their latest outing against Liverpool.

City were humbled 1-0 by the struggling Merseysiders, with Mohamed Salah netting the winner at Anfield.

The loss denied the reigning champions a golden chance to close the gap on the Gunners, who had seen off Leeds United earlier on Sunday.

Supercomputer makes Premier League prediction

Despite Arsenal's commanding lead at the top, supercomputers at OLGB do not see them winning the Premier League.

City have instead been backed to retain the crown at 1/4, with Arteta's men getting just 6/1.

Liverpool have been predicted to find their way into the top four with a third-place finish at the end of the season, as Chelsea joins them in fourth.

Tottenham, who have had a bright start to the campaign, are projected to finish fifth with Man United having to contend with another season without Champions League football in sixth.

Elsewhere, Leicester City are predicted to join Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth in relegation after a slow start to the campaign.

Arsenal backed to win EPL

Earlier, Sports Brief reported former Chelsea and Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole has conceded that Arsenal are favourites to win the Premier League title this season.

According to Cole, the Mikel Arteta-tutored side have all it takes to conquer the English top flight this season.

"I’m a believer now. We’ve seen them (Arsenal) trip up themselves so many times over 10 years; you always want to have another look and another look, but the process Mikel Arteta has been talking about for the last 12-18 months is starting to bear fruition," Cole said.
