Supercomputer has given Arsenal a 97 cent chance to win the Premier league title

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal doubled down on the south coast after losing in the Carabao Cup final, rather than easing concerns of a spectacular late-season collapse. Manchester City crushed the Gunners’ hopes of a record quadruple at Wembley, but a treble was only a fleeting dream following their loss at Southampton during the international break.

Arsenal was eliminated from the FA Cup by the Saints’ 2-1 victory on Saturday night, which further stoked rumours that Arteta’s team is ready to “bottle” what would be their first Premier League championship in a little over 20 years.

After two domestic cup setbacks in north London, momentum has clearly moved in favour of the Sky Blues, even if Arsenal still leads City by a healthy nine points despite having played fewer games. Opta hasn’t freaked out yet despite the change in attitude. Since the top two teams in the division last played a league game, Arsenal’s chances of winning the championship have barely decreased by 0.77%, making them the clear favourites to do so.

Supercomputer Updates Premier League Title Prediction

Opta’s supercomputer has barely marginally changed its title predictions in spite of the recent defeats, and they still significantly favour Arsenal. According to the algorithm, Manchester City has a mere 3% probability of winning the Premier League, while the Gunners have a 97% chance. Speaking on the Arsenal website following the loss, Arteta described his strategy for putting the club back on track for their next games.

On April 19, Arsenal will travel to the Etihad Stadium to play the Citizens after their next Premier League game against AFC Bournemouth. After that, they will host Fulham and Newcastle United before travelling to play West Ham United.

Next weekend, Manchester City will travel to play Chelsea before their pivotal encounter with the Gunners. After that, they will play two away games at Everton and Burnley before coming home to host Brentford.
