Supercomputer makes Liverpool Premier League and Champions League predictions after tricky start

A supercomputer has predicted where Liverpool will finish in the Premier League and Champions League.

The Reds came second in the Premier League last season, losing out by just one point to Manchester City before losing 1-0 to Real Madrid in the Champions League final at the end of May.

After battling for the quadruple until the very end, many thought Liverpool would come back stronger this season and push for the title, but they currently sit in seventh after winning just two of their matches in the league.

With two wins, three draws and one loss so far this term, Liverpool currently sit six points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal, but it could be more given the poor form shown by Jurgen Klopp's side.

The Reds were destroyed by Napoli in their opening Champions League match in group A as they lost 4-1 in Naples, but bounced back to beat Ajax 2-1 at Anfield on Tuesday.

FiveThirtyEight's supercomputer has Liverpool down for finishing second behind Man City in the Premier League on 75 points - giving them a 16% chance of winning the league at this stage. The rest of the top four is Tottenham in third and Arsenal in fourth.

Bayern Munich have the best chance in winning the Champions League according to the supercomputer with a 22% chance while Man City have a 20% chance.

Paris Saint-Germain have never won the competition, but a forward line of Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Lionel Messi gives them a 14% chance of lifting the trophy while Liverpool have an 8% chance of making it number seven in Istanbul.
