Last weekends Premier League results again blew the title race wide open, with Chelsea’s lead at the top being cut down to 4 points. The teams behind all have games in hand on The Blues, and both Manchester City and Chelsea both have to play Liverpool at Anfield.
But who will win this season’s Premier League title? football stats experts Bloomberg Sports have been asking the same question this week, and have used a complex algorithm and supercomputer to calculate the standings after the final day.
They have calculated that Man City have 38.8% chance of coming out on top, making them favourites ahead of Chelsea. The Blues have a 34.7 per cent of winning the title, according to the Bloomberg calculations, while Liverpool are third with a 19.1 per cent opportunity, leaving Arsenal fourth with a 7.4 per cent chance of winning the league.
According to the calculations at this stage, the title race should go down the wire between City and Chelsea.
Rounding up the top 4 standings, the supercomputer predicts that Liverpool will finish up on 81 points, and Arsenal will grab fourth with 79. Manchester United’s miserable season is predicted to finish with them getting just 64 points, and finishing 7th.
Crystal Palace, Cardiff, and Fulham are all predicted to be relegated.
