Opta supercomputer names new favorite for PL title after Red's draw with Man Utd

Manchester City are the new favourites to win the Premier League title, despite being one point Arsenal and Liverpool with seven games to play.

Liverpool surrendered their advantage in the title race after failing to make their chances count in a chaotic 2-2 draw with Manchester United on Sunday.

That allowed Arsenal to keep top spot on goal difference, after they jumped to the top of the standings with an impressive 3-0 victory against Brighton a day prior.

However, Opta's supercomputer still doesn't back Mikel Arteta's squad to lift what would be Arsenal's first Premier League title in two decades.

Manchester City are instead deemed the favourites following their 4-2 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Pep Guardiola's side saw their title chances decline from 45.9 per cent to 33.5 after their goalless draw with Arsenal a week prior.

However, the weekend's results have seen them shoot back up to 40.6 per cent, ahead of Arsenal on 30.3 and Opta's previous favourites Liverpool, who are now on just 29.1.

Manchester City's advantage perhaps comes down to the calibre of opponents they have left to play compared to their two rivals.

The remaining teams they play have an average current position of 11.4 in the Premier League, compared to Liverpool on 9.86 and Arsenal on 8.6

City's trickiest test left is their trip to Tottenham, which still needs a date to be arranged.

Liverpool face back-to-back clashes against Tottenham and Aston Villa, and also have a tricky looking week where they travel to Fulham, Everton, and West Ham within six days.

Arsenal next go up against Champions League chasing Villa, while they have tricky away trips to Tottenham and Manchester United to come.
