Supercomputer makes ‘SHOCK’ Chelsea final Premier League table prediction after sitting on 3rd

Arne Slot’s outstanding Reds have outperformed Mikel Arteta’s team thus far this season, despite the fact that they were predicted to advance past last season’s final-day disappointment.

Arsenal has now lost their last four Premier League games, including losses to Bournemouth and Newcastle.

Liverpool has capitalized on their opponents’ mistakes, most recently defeating Aston Villa 2-0 to increase their lead at the top, as Man City has also lost back-to-back league games.

And the figures are starting to show this. According to top statistics company Opta, the Gunners currently have a just 5% chance of winning the English championship.

This is in stark comparison to favourites Liverpool, who now lead the way both in the table, and in predictions.

The Blues are tipped to take the final Champions League spot, and boast the slimmest title chances, with their odds of winning at just 0.3 per cent.

The supercomputer’s calculations have certainly seen some huge changes since the season got underway.

On August 15, before a ball had been kicked, Opta made City frontrunners, giving them an 82.2 per cent probability of finishing first.

Meanwhile, Arsenal were thought to be their closest rivals, with a 12.2 per cent shot.

Back then, Liverpool were estimated to have just a 5.1 per cent chance of lifting the title, having finished nine points adrift of City last term, and with a managerial switch to negotiate.

However, few could have predicted the seamless transition the Reds would make under Slot, which has seen them take 28 points out of a possible 33 so far.

But with Arsenal steadying the ship against Chelsea after back-to-back defeats to Newcastle and Inter Milan, former England star Michael Owen believes all hope is not yet lost for the Gunners.
