The Premier League title race has taken another dramatic twist after both Arsenal and Liverpool dropped crucial points over the weekend, allowing Manchester City to tighten their grip on the summit.
According to a new supercomputer prediction, the balance of power in the 2024/2025 Premier League season has once again swung in favor of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, who are now overwhelming favorites to retain their crown.
⚽ The Title Race Heats Up
Heading into the weekend, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City were separated by just a few points, with all three sides eyeing the title.
However, Arsenal’s 1–1 draw with Aston Villa and Liverpool’s surprise 2–2 stalemate with Brentford have given City the upper hand.
The supercomputer, run by Opta and Bet365 analysts, recalculated probabilities after the results — and the numbers now suggest that Manchester City have a 71% chance of winning the title, compared to Arsenal’s 20% and Liverpool’s 9%.

The algorithm factors in current form, remaining fixtures, player injuries, and home/away performances. City’s experience in high-pressure run-ins has heavily influenced the model’s outcome.
💬 What the Supercomputer Says
According to data analysts, Manchester City’s superior goal difference, fixture ease, and tactical stability give them a strong edge.
“City’s model performance remains unmatched — their ability to recover from setbacks and dominate possession means they control most games mathematically,” said Opta analyst Ben Hart.
The model predicts City will finish with around 89 points, with Arsenal trailing at 84, and Liverpool at 81.
🧠 Why Arsenal and Liverpool Dropped Points
Arsenal’s youthful squad has struggled in converting dominance into wins in recent matches, with missed chances proving costly.
Liverpool, meanwhile, continue to leak goals due to defensive inconsistencies and key absences in midfield.
Both teams face a crucial few weeks as they prepare for tough fixtures — Arsenal against Tottenham in the North London Derby, and Liverpool against Manchester United.
⚙️ Manchester City’s Ruthless Consistency
Even without key stars at times, Pep Guardiola’s men have demonstrated their unmatched composure.
With Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, and Kevin De Bruyne all hitting top form, the City machine looks unstoppable.
Their recent 3–0 win over Brighton reaffirmed their dominance, showcasing the depth and structure that has made them champions in five of the last six seasons.
🔮 What Could Change the Prediction
The supercomputer also highlights variables that could shift the balance:
Injuries to key City players like Haaland or Rodri could alter the equation.
Arsenal’s home form remains one of the best in the league and could close the gap.
Liverpool’s attacking trio (Salah, Núñez, Díaz) could rediscover their form and spark a late surge.
Yet, despite those factors, analysts still see City as the most likely to emerge victorious.
🗣️ Fans React Online
Social media erupted following the supercomputer update, with mixed reactions among fans:
“Every season the same — City are robots,” wrote one Arsenal fan on X.
“We dropped points but it’s not over yet. Arteta’s boys will fight,” added another.
Meanwhile, City fans celebrated: “Supercomputer or not, this is Pep’s league!”
🏁 The Road Ahead
With around 10 games left, the Premier League is entering its most crucial stage. Every match will now carry the weight of a final, especially for Arsenal and Liverpool, who must win nearly all remaining fixtures to stay in contention.
If the supercomputer is right, Manchester City could be crowned champions once again, solidifying their dynasty under Pep Guardiola and marking a historic era in English football.
⚽ Conclusion: The Numbers Favor City — But Football Isn’t Played by Computers
While statistics and algorithms lean heavily towards Manchester City, the beauty of football is its unpredictability.
A single red card, a last-minute goal, or a stunning upset could rewrite the title story once again. As we enter the final stretch, the Premier League 2025 promises drama, heartbreak, and glory — exactly what makes it the world’s most-watched league.
