Arsenal have emerged as overwhelming favourites to win the Premier League title this season, according to the latest predictions released by the Opta SuperComputer ahead of the November international break.
The Gunners, who currently enjoy a five-point lead at the top of the standings, have been handed a 74.76 per cent probability of becoming champions.
The prediction puts Mikel Arteta’s side firmly ahead of their closest challengers as they seek to maintain their impressive start to the campaign.
Manchester City, who trail Arsenal by six points, have been given a 13.81 per cent chance of reclaiming the Premier League crown.
Pep Guardiola’s side, who lost the title to Arsenal last season after the Gunners ended their 22-year wait for the trophy, remain the second-most likely team to finish top, according to the statistical model.
Brighton, who occupy second position following an impressive start to the season, have been assigned a 7.17 per cent chance of winning the title.
Liverpool and Chelsea complete the top five teams in Opta’s predictions, with the Reds receiving a 2.41 per cent probability, while Chelsea have just a 0.65 per cent chance.
The latest projections suggest that Arsenal are in a strong position to challenge for the title, although the remaining fixtures could still change the Premier League standings before the season concludes.
