Arsenal’s Premier League title odds fall to 87.26% after Bournemouth defeat, Opta reveals
The Opta SuperComputer has reduced Arsenal’s probability of winning the Premier League following the latest results from the weekend.

A day after Arsenal’s setback, Manchester City boosted their hopes of winning the title with a 3-0 win over Chelsea on Sunday. Opta has now increased City’s probability of toppling Arsenal to 12.74%, while Manchester United, Aston Villa and Liverpool have been given zero chance of winning the title. Further changes in the odds are expected after City host Arsenal at the Etihad on Sunday.
