Supercomputer predicts Premier League title race outcome as Man City hold advantage over Arsenal

A supercomputer has given a fresh prediction on the ongoing Premier League title race between Arsenal and Manchester City. The Gunners hold a six-point lead over City heading into the final eight games of the season, but Pep Guardiola's side do have a game in hand.

Arsenal threw away a 2-0 lead against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, allowing City to close the gap down from eight points to six. Mikel Arteta's side still have to travel to the Etihad Stadium later this month in what could prove to be a title-deciding clash.

The reigning champions have already beaten the Gunners twice this season - once in the FA Cup and once in the league - but there involvement in cup competitions towards the end of the season could see their form drop off. City have been handed a boost in the title race following Arsenal's rearranged fixture against Chelsea as it now means Guardiola's side will play before the Gunners in four of the remaining seven game weeks of the season, giving them the chance to increase the pressure on the league leaders.
