LONDON. Arsenal are set to storm to a first Premier League title in 22 years, claims a supercomputer.
While Manchester United face a fierce battle for Champions League qualification.
With Prem action hotting up, boffins and brainiacs over at Aceodds have crunched the numbers using their BETSiE supercomputer.
Arsenal are in the driver’s seat to win the title, having won their last seven games in all competitions without even conceding a goal.
Mikel Arteta’s men are projected to finish on 83 points, eight above stuttering reigning champions Liverpool as runners-up.
Manchester City, who currently occupy second, are tipped for third on 72 points – while it’s Chelsea that BETSiE has rounding out the top four with 66.
Ruben Amorim’s resurgent Man Utd looked miles off the European discussion just a matter of weeks ago.
But a run of 10 points from their last four matches has seen the Red Devils catapult up the table.
Despite this, BETSiE has Ruben Amorim’s side missing out on the top four by five points.
If the Premier League earns an extra European spot via its team’s performances in Uefa competitions this term, as it did last season, however, fifth could yet be enough to see Man Utd sneak in.
Bournemouth and Crystal Palace are backed for European qualification in sixth and seventh, respectively – ahead of Newcastle in eighth.
Brighton are tipped for ninth, with Totteham a disappointing 10th – albeit just one-point back from Bournemouth in a mega-tight portion of the table. – The Sun
