Mirror Football's supercomputer has predicted that Manchester City will retain their Premier League crown - despite being five points adrift of Arsenal.
City pipped Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool to the title by a single point last year and have brought in further firepower in the form of Erling Haaland, with the Norwegian already netting a mind-boggling 25 league goals in just 20 games. Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side top the Premier League, five points clear of City with one game in hand.
They have been buoyed by the arrival of former City stars Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus, who have helped fire the Gunners into a commanding lead as we begin the second half of the season. But despite Arsenal’s dominance, Mirror Football’s supercomputer has predicted they will slip up, handing Pep Guardiola’s City another title.
