The Premier League title race is entering its most thrilling phase — and once again, Manchester City have emerged as the favorites after both Arsenal and Liverpool dropped crucial points in the latest round of fixtures.
According to an updated supercomputer simulation released by Opta and Football365 analysts, City are now heavily tipped to lift the 2024/2025 Premier League title, cementing their dominance under Pep Guardiola.
⚽ Title Race Takes a Dramatic Turn
Heading into the weekend, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City were neck and neck in one of the most competitive title races in recent memory.
However, the weekend’s results shifted momentum. Arsenal were held to a 1–1 draw by Aston Villa, and Liverpool dropped points in a 2–2 draw against Brentford. Meanwhile, Manchester City produced a convincing 3–0 victory over Brighton, reclaiming control of the standings.
The latest data now shows City’s title chances soaring to 72%, while Arsenal’s probability has fallen to 20% and Liverpool’s to just 8%.

🧠 How the Supercomputer Works
The supercomputer model uses thousands of simulations to calculate probabilities based on team performance, player availability, form, and fixture difficulty.
It factors in:
Home and away advantage
Expected goals (xG) and defensive metrics
Player injuries and suspensions
Remaining fixtures against top-six opponents
City’s consistency, squad depth, and experience in title run-ins have tilted the mathematical odds in their favor.
“Manchester City’s underlying numbers are exceptional — they dominate possession, create more chances, and concede fewer shots than any other team,” said Opta Data Analyst James Parker.
⚙️ Manchester City’s Relentless Consistency
It’s no surprise that Pep Guardiola’s side are once again leading the data charts. Despite injuries early in the season, City’s system has remained steady, with stars like Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, and Kevin De Bruyne back to full form.
Their recent 3–0 win showcased their balance between clinical finishing and tactical control — hallmarks of Guardiola’s reign.
City have dominated possession in nearly every match, averaging 64% ball control, while maintaining the league’s best goal difference.
🔥 Arsenal’s Challenge: Youth and Missed Chances
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have been impressive this season, showing maturity and structure in key games. However, their young side has struggled to turn dominance into consistent victories.
The Gunners’ failure to finish chances — combined with occasional defensive lapses — has cost them valuable points.
“Arsenal are close, but their inexperience in pressure moments is still showing,” said football pundit Michael Owen on Premier League TV.
Still, Arsenal remain City’s closest challengers, with a favorable run of fixtures ahead — including key home matches against Spurs and Chelsea.
⚡ Liverpool’s Slump in Momentum
For Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, the title challenge is fading after a series of draws and defensive mishaps. Despite their attacking brilliance, inconsistency has been their biggest downfall.
Their inability to close out games has raised questions about squad fatigue and tactical adjustments.
“Liverpool play beautiful football, but small lapses in focus are costing them dearly,” said former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher.
The Reds will need a near-perfect finish to the season — and hope City stumble — to stay in contention.
📉 What Could Still Change the Prediction
The supercomputer’s forecast isn’t set in stone. Several variables could flip the narrative before the season ends:
Injuries or suspensions to key City players like Haaland or Rodri.
Arsenal’s strong home record, which could help them close the gap.
Liverpool’s attacking trio regaining form in the final weeks.
Head-to-head results between the top three sides, which often prove decisive.
If Arsenal or Liverpool can string together a winning run while City slip even once, the title race could be back open.
💬 Fans and Experts React
Social media erupted after the new data went public.
“The Premier League’s becoming too predictable — City are just a machine,” one Arsenal fan wrote on X.
“We’re still in it! Anything can happen,” replied a hopeful Liverpool supporter.
Meanwhile, City fans celebrated the updated odds, confident their team is on course for a record-breaking sixth title in seven seasons.
🏁 The Final Stretch
With less than 10 matches remaining, every fixture now carries massive weight.
Arsenal and Liverpool will both look to bounce back, but history — and the algorithms — suggest that Pep Guardiola’s City rarely falter under pressure.
Still, as every Premier League fan knows, surprises are part of the sport. A single defeat, injury, or draw could reignite the title race in spectacular fashion.
⚽ Conclusion: Numbers Back City, But Football Defies Logic
While the supercomputer gives Manchester City the overwhelming advantage, football has a way of defying mathematics.
As the season heads toward its climax, Arsenal and Liverpool will be desperate to prove that titles aren’t won on spreadsheets — they’re earned on the pitch.
For now, though, all data points to one conclusion:
Manchester City remain the team to beat.
