  • Arsenal and Manchester City are set to go head-to-head for this season's Premier League title
  • The Gunners have a six-point advantage at the top, with the Citizens having a game in hand
  • There are just eight games left to go, with Arsenal still to take on City, Chelsea, and Newcastle

A supercomputer has predicted this season's Premier League winners, following Arsenal's dramatic 2-2 draw against Liverpool on Sunday.

The Gunners raced into a 2-0 lead in the opening 30 minutes of the cracker before Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino found the back of the net to ensure the tie ended in a draw.

In the earlier game on Saturday, Manchester City had mauled Southampton 4-1 to cut the deficit between them and Arsenal to just five points.

Supercomputer's Premier League prediction

Despite that narrow gap at the top, bettingexpert.com has predicted that Arsenal will still win the Premier League title this season.

According to the prediction, Mikel Arteta's men will top the standings at the end of the season with 87.3 points, just one point ahead of City.

Newcastle have been backed to finish third with 73.2 points, with Manchester United completing the top-four podium with 71.6 points.

Elsewhere, according to the prediction, Tottenham will have to settle for a fifth-place finish, with Liverpool and Chelsea finishing seventh and 11th, respectively.

Meanwhile, Southampton look set to get relegated alongside Nottingham Forest and Leicester City, with Everton escaping the drop by a whisker.

Arsenal's fixture list

Sports Brief has also reported on Arsenal's busy Premier League schedule that could potentially decide their title fate over the next few weeks.

With no other engagements apart from the top flight league, Arteta's men will now switch their focus to their upcoming trip to West Ham.

The embattled Hammers are expected to give their London rivals a good run for their money as the club desperately tries to avoid relegation.
