A supercomputer has predicted that Manchester City have less than a 50 per cent chance of winning the Premier League this season, while Manchester United have been heavily tipped to finish in third position.
Prior to City's upcoming clash with the Gunners on Wednesday night, Opta's Premier League season prediction has the two teams within 0.01% chance of one another to win the 2022/23 Premier League title. Mikel Arteta's men currently have a three-point lead over Pep Guardiola's side, albeit with the London outfit having a game in hand over the Blues.
According to the predictions, City have a 48.89 per cent chance of finishing first in the table this term, while the Blues have a 42.6 per cent chance of finishing in second position. It appears unlikely that the reigning champions will finish in third (7.8 per cent) or fourth (0.5 per cent).
