The Sun reports United's slim EPL title hopes were dented on Sunday after they were mauled 7-0 by Liverpool at Anfield, with Tottenham suffering a 1-0 shock defeat against Wolves.

City, meanwhile, stunned Newcastle 2-0 to keep pace with Arsenal in the title race as the Gunners secured a 3-2 dramatic comeback victory over relegation battlers Bournemouth to maintain their five-point advantage at the top.

Be that as it may, the top four spots remain unchanged, with Newcastle suffering the most as they relinquished the fifth spot to the surging Liverpool.

Supercomputer's Premier League prediction

A supercomputer has now projected how the final standings could look after United dropped points and Arsenal cemented their lead at the top.

Boffins and brainiacs over at bettingexpert contend that the Gunners will finish at the top with 86.7 points, with City settling for a second-place finish.

The Red Devils have been backed to seal a third-place finish regardless of the Anfield result, with Newcastle sneaking into the top four to qualify for the Champions League ahead of Tottenham and Liverpool.

Meanwhile, Chelsea will have to contend for a 10th-place finish, with Bournemouth, Everton, and Southampton standing no chance of survival, according to the prediction.

What went wrong for United?

Sports Brief reported that Erik ten Hag was at pains to try to explain exactly what went wrong for his Manchester United side, who spectacularly lost 7-0 to Liverpool on March 5.

Liverpool came up with a complete performance, interestingly against one of their fierce rivals, as they completely blew away their opponents. Speaking after the game, a seemingly calm ten Hag claimed his side 'lost their heads'.

Ten Hag ceded the loss was a tough setback but expressed confidence his team could bounce back.
