Supercomputer predicts final EPL table

While there is still a long way to go before the season ends, a supercomputer has still made a prediction of how the final Premier League table could look in May.

According to the prediction, Arsenal will have to contend with a second-place finish for the second season running.

Liverpool are projected to finish third, with Manchester United completing a top-four podium.

Despite Chelsea's heavy investment and change of manager, the west Londoners have been backed to settle for a sixth-place finish behind Newcastle United.
