A supercomputer has predicted that Liverpool will not win the Premier League title this season. Despite currently leading the division, Manchester City could go two points ahead if they win last night’s game and beat Brentford.Jurgen Klopp, who is leaving Anfield at the end of this season, is hoping for a good farewell.
But Liverpool’s recent 3-1 defeat to Arsenal was a setback that could see the Gunners back in the title race and hurt the Reds’ chances. According to supercomputer OCB Score, Liverpool will finish the season with 86 points, with 26 wins, 8 draws and 2 losses. Meanwhile, Manchester City are expected to remain unbeaten for the rest of the season and win their fourth consecutive title with 87 points.
Despite falling just two points behind Liverpool after Sunday’s win, supercomputer Arsenal’s title hopes have evaporated and they sit third, seven points behind champions City. Aston Villa reached the Champions League final, finishing fifth, five points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur. Manchester United’s average season is expected to finish in 6th place.
After Sunday’s convincing win, the Red Devils are expected to go ahead against West Ham. David Moyes’ side have to stay above Newcastle, while Eddie Howe’s side are having a difficult season. Chelsea will look to rest this season after a heavy loss to Wolves. However, he is expected to recover somewhat and secure 9th place. Of course, at the other end, Burnley and Sheffield United are expected to lose. Sheffield United are expected to underperform, while Crystal Palace will be relegated to bottom of the league.
Crystal Palace could sack Roy Hodgson after losing to Brighton. Brighton are expected to finish 10th. Brentford and Everton are expected to avoid relegation, while Palace are out.The rest of the bottom half could include Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth and Fulham. However, if the predictions are to be believed, Klopp will come out on top as he misses out on a second Premier League title.
Liverpool.com says: It will be another cruel end to Liverpool’s title run. It is the third time manager Klopp’s side have topped the table, one point behind Manchester City.But the supercomputer’s prediction that Liverpool will force at least one dramatic deadline day offers insight into what looked like a disastrous result for Arsenal. Despite this, the Gunners are expected to go down and Klopp’s men can turn things around with a win against Manchester City when they come to Anfield next month. Until then, they have to ignore Pep Guardiola’s results and do their job.
