Supercomputer predicts Premier League champion after Liverpool win, Arsenal draw

  • In the Premier League, Liverpool clinched a six-point lead over the weekend, thanks to crucial goals from Darwin Nunez scored in the final stages of the game.
  • Arsenal struggled to match the pace set by the Reds after a disappointing draw against Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium.
  • Opta's supercomputer's latest forecasts indicate that Liverpool remains the clear favourites to secure the championship title

There was yet another surprising development in the Premier League championship race on Matchday 22 of the 2024/25 season.

Leaders Liverpool secured a challenging victory away from their home stadium, while Arsenal squandered a 2-0 lead to settle for a draw.

Opta's supercomputer has forecast the victor following a thrilling weekend in the English top division.

On Monday, Leeds and Crystal Palace played out of a goalless stumps offence.

The Premier League's top team, Liverpool, required two exceptional goals from substitute Darwin Nunez to triumph over Brentford outside of their home. The 37 shots taken by Liverpool were the greatest number of shots taken by an away team in the Premier League within the past 20 years.

Arne Slot's team earned a much-needed win by ending a streak of two draws, securing their first Premier League victory of 2025.

"I had my doubts about scoring because watching the game before our two goals seemed repetitive, with the same pattern repeating itself," Slot said via Liverpoolfc.com

Arsenal were on their way to a convincing win over Aston Villa as a 2-0 lead was established.

The Gunners sought to increase the pressure on the Reds, but Villa's two well-taken goals and unimpressive display thwarted that effort.

"I mean, the substitutes had the impact and they [Liverpool] were able to change the course of the game. And on our side, it was the opposite," Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta stated on Arsenal.com.

Nottingham Forest has matched Arsenal's points total of 44.

Manchester City secured a decisive 6-0 victory over Ipswich Town, however, they currently sit fifth with 38 points.

Chelsea ended a poor run with a 3-1 convincing win over Wolves to get themselves back into fourth place with 40 points, 10 points behind leaders Liverpool.

Opta Predictions for the 2024/25 Premier League

According to Opta's powerful computer system, Liverpool, after a close late game against Brentford, still has a strong opportunity to win the Premier League title this season, with a projected 91.8% chance, up from 86.5% beforehand.

Arsenal's chances slipped to 8.2% from 13% following their disappointing outcome against Aston Villa.

Defending champions Manchester City have a 0.3% chance of winning, while high-performance Nottingham Forest have 0.1%.

Pep Guardiola downplayed the significance of the result with respect to the title race, stating that they are focusing on achieving Champions League qualification.

"We're very happy, we're back to doing what this team is known for over the past decade. We're glad to have picked up three points and to have secured qualification for next season's Champions League, which will undoubtedly be a challenging task," he said via Sky Sports.
