Arsenal Surges in Title Race as Liverpool’s Chances Drop, City Emerges as Favourites
The Premier League title race has taken a dramatic turn as the latest round of results has prompted the league’s supercomputer to make significant changes in its predictions, especially concerning the top three contenders.
The weekend’s action began with Manchester City securing a 4-2 victory against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park after overcoming an early scare when Jean-Philippe Mateta opened the scoring for Palace.
Arsenal continued their impressive form with a commanding 3-0 win over Brighton, courtesy of goals from Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz. However, Liverpool faced a setback as they settled for a 2-2 draw against Manchester United in a thrilling encounter at Old Trafford.
Although Luis Diaz initially put Liverpool ahead, stunning goals from Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo in the second half saw United take the lead. Liverpool managed to salvage a point with Mo Salah converting a late penalty.
The latest results have tightened the race at the top, with Arsenal and Liverpool now level on 71 points, with Arsenal edging ahead on goal difference. Manchester City trails closely behind, just one point behind both teams, with seven games remaining.
Opta’s updated supercomputer predictions reflect these developments, with Liverpool’s chances of clinching the title under Jurgen Klopp dropping from 45% to 31.3%. Meanwhile, City has emerged as the favourite, with their chances of securing a fourth consecutive title increasing to 39.7%. Arsenal has seen the most significant rise, with their chances soaring to 29%.
As the season heads towards its conclusion, the title race remains unpredictable, promising more twists and turns in the coming weeks. Manchester City is set to face Luton Town, while Liverpool and Arsenal will host Crystal Palace and Aston Villa, respectively, in the upcoming fixtures.
