MANCHESTER UNITED will qualify for the Champions League… according to a Premier League predictor.
The season remains shrouded in doubt following its postponement due to the deadly spread of the coronavirus.
Chiefs have set a date to restart the campaign on April 3 although it remains likely that it could be even later.
Before its postponement, the race for the Champions League places was heating up as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side maintained their impressive form.
With nine games to go, they are three points behind Chelsea in fifth with Wolves and Sheffield United a further two points behind.
And according to a ‘Super Computer’ that is where the Red Devils will remain.
Produced by MyBettingSites.co.uk, ‘the table is made by analysing a number of market outcomes including top four, top six, top 10 and relegation, which makes the prediction an accurate indication of the final standings.’
Liverpool unsurprisingly go on to lift the title with Manchester City in second.
Leicester and Chelsea occupy the top four spots but with Man City’s Champions League ban, the red half of Manchester is set to profit with fifth place seemingly enough to qualify next campaign.
City have appealed but their CAS meeting has been suspended due to the coronavirus.
Wolves will finish above Tottenham while Arsenal are braced for more disappointment with a ninth-place finish.
Down the bottom half of the table it is bad news for Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Norwich, who are likely to be playing Championship League football next season.
Watford are set to stay up by the skin of their teeth.
A spokesperson for the company said: “While it is tight at the bottom of the table, Norwich, Aston Villa and Bournemouth will not have enough to beat the drop when the Premier League returns.”
