English Premier League season 2022/23 is on its spiciest phase as reigning champions Manchester City square off against league leaders Arsenal in a very important fixture for the title race. City are currently trailing by 3 points from the gunners and a win tonight will take them on top of the table thanks to a better goal difference.
But before the match takes place, a super computer has provided its prediction for the top-4. Prior to City’s forthcoming tie against Arsenal on Wednesday night, Opta’s Premier League season projection has the two teams tied for first place in the 2022/23 season. Mikel Arteta’s men currently lead Pep Guardiola’s team by three points, despite the fact that the Blues have a game in hand.
The predictions have suggested that City have a 48.89% of winning the Premier League title for the 3rd time in a row. In terms of finishing 2nd, the Sky blues have a 42.6% chance and their chances of finishing 3rd and 4th are 7.8% and 0.5% respectively.
While United is expected to finish third in the Premier League standings, the Reds are given a comfortable 62.5 percent chance of qualifying for the Champions League next season. Although Erik ten Hag’s team has a 2.1% probability of winning the championship, they are mathematically still in the running. It implies that United have a higher likelihood of placing fourth (15.1%) than second (12.6 per cent).
