EPL: SuperComputer predicts title winners, teams in top four places

The Opta Supercomputer has installed Arsenal as overwhelming favorites to clinch the Premier League title, giving the Gunners a 97.17% probability of being crowned champions with just seven fixtures remaining.

The Opta Supercomputer has effectively declared the Premier League title race a one-horse race, handing Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal a massive 97.17% chance of lifting the trophy. With only seven fixtures left to play in the 2025/26 campaign, the Gunners have been installed as the overwhelming favorites to end their long wait for a league championship. Ahead of Saturday’s early kick-off against Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium, the North London side sits in a commanding position, having built a significant lead over their closest challengers during a month of high-stakes football across multiple competitions.

Manchester City, the perennial champions, find themselves in the unfamiliar position of outsiders, with the data model giving them a meager 2.83% chance of retaining their crown. Despite Pep Guardiola’s side holding a game in hand, the nine-point gap currently separating the two teams appears insurmountable to the Supercomputer’s algorithms. The prediction comes at a crucial juncture, as Arsenal prepares for a run-in that includes a potential title decider at the Etihad Stadium on April 19, though the data suggests the Gunners’ fortress-like form has already tilted the scales decisively in their favor.

Beyond the title race, the projections offer a clear look at the final standings for the chasing pack. Opta predicts that Manchester United and Aston Villa will round out the top four, though it notes that both clubs now “have no chance of winning the league” mathematically or statistically. Liverpool is also projected to secure the final automatic Champions League spot, as the “Big Six” and rising powers settle into their predicted finishing positions. The 2026 measures signal a shift in the English hierarchy, with Arsenal’s dominant 70-point tally placing them on the verge of history.
