adminLONDON. — A supercomputer has predicted the final Premier League table… with Arsenal top of the pile on goal difference.
The Gunners kept pace at the summit last night by battering lowly Sheffield United 6-0 at Bramall Lane.
Arsenal’s win saw them climb to third; a point off champions Manchester City and two behind leaders Liverpool.
Boffins and brainiacs over at Bettingesxpert have crunched the numbers to produce BETSiE, a supercomputer tasked with predicting sporting outcomes.
According to BETSiE the title race is set to go down to the wire, with Arsenal just ahead of Liverpool and City by the narrowest of margins.
Mikel Arteta’s side are slated to get 86 points, with Liverpool also on 86.
The Gunners’ recent annihilations of Sheffield United, Newcastle, Burnley and West Ham could be set to come in handy, with their goal difference, currently at 45, predicted to finish at 61, compared to Liverpool’s 52.
City, meanwhile, are back on 84.3 in third.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa are backed to beat Tottenham to the fourth Champions League spot.
Fifth could still produce a ticket to European football’s top table, however, courtesy of the Champions League’s move to the Swiss Model from next season. — The Sun.
