Supercomputer predicts Arsenal Premier League title race with Man City amid £100m transfer plan

The Premier League is finally set to return in a week's time following World Cup action in Qatar. Whilst the football was thoroughly entertaining, domestic clubs will be relishing the chance to get back underway.

Arsenal top the table after a formidable start to the season. With 37 points from a possible 42 taken so far, the Gunners have been showing why they view themselves as worthy candidates for the title. Meanwhile, two of their biggest rivals in Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea have enjoyed indifferent campaigns.

Whilst Spurs have also got off to one of their best starts ever under Antonio Conte, the fourth placed outfit have been somewhat overshadowed by their north London nemesis. Graham Potter's Blues, on the other hand, are struggling. With just 21 points taken in 14 games, they're already a long way behind Arsenal (16 points) as they linger in eighth position.

Of course, the break is set to have an impact on future proceedings. The Gunners have lost their first-choice no.9 in Gabriel Jesus for at least a couple of months, whilst Manchester City's Erling Haaland is still fit and firing. Plus, with the winter market around the corner, there's going to be some movement in the transfer window.

According to recent reports, Arsenal are set to back Arteta and sporting director Edu with a war chest of over £100m in the January transfer window as Kroenke looks to extend the Gunners' impressive campaign.

All of these factors have led to a supercomputer at BonusCodeBets predicting the final outcome of the Premier League season - and unfortunately, it spells bad news for the two of the three London outfits. As per the results, Arsenal will finish behind City in the title race but will cling onto second.

Tottenham, however, are tipped to stay in fourth as they look to qualify for the Champions League for another year. Chelsea, though, are only expected to finish in seventh as they continue their respective rebuild under Potter.

Of course, this is merely a prediction and a computer can't control what actually happens on the pitch. Let's just wait to see what happens in the coming weeks and months.
