Supercomputer predicts Premier League standings after Arsenal bounce back, surprised with Liverpool’s chances of reaching the top 4 after a 7-0 win

LIVERPOOL battered Manchester United 7-0 on Sunday to bolster their top four hopes.

But our supercomputer still doesn’t think they’re going to make it.

The Reds have had a difficult season to date, but appear to finally be clicking if Sunday’s Man United mauling is anything to go by.

Boffins and brainiacs over at bettingexpert have used a supercomputer to predict what is most likely to happen over the rest of the season.

It takes into consideration things like xG and xA… running a simulation 100,000 times to come up with the most likely scenarios.

And the supercomputer thinks that Liverpool will come SIXTH – despite putting seven past hapless United.

Tottenham currently occupy fourth spot, three points above Liverpool and four ahead of Newcastle.

Antonio Conte’s side have played a game more than the Reds, however, and two more than the Toon.

And the supercomputer reckons that Eddie Howe’s men can recover from their goal-shy blip to snatch back fourth.

Arsenal are also predicted to fend off Manchester City to win the title, following their dramatic two-goal comeback against Bournemouth on Saturday.

Pep Guardiola’s side are projected to finish second, with Man United remaining third.

Brighton are tipped to beat Brentford and Fulham to seventh spot and a Europa Conference League place – with Chelsea tenth.

Meanwhile, at the bottom – Southampton, Everton and Bournemouth are tipped for the drop.

It’s claimed that Saints have a 67.5 per cent chance of going down, despite beating Leicester 1-0 on Saturday.

Bournemouth closely follow on 67.3 per cent after their Emirates collapse.

Everton then have a 60.9 per cent chance of going down, with Nottingham Forest having the next highest odds on 31.1 per cent.
