A SUPERCOMPUTER has predicted the final Premier League table for next season.
And it’s bad news for Arsenal again, who are tipped to finish second for the third time in a row.
Boffins at Grosvenor Sport booted up their intelligent PC, which simulates every single fixtures 1,000 times for the most accurate score.
And the results are astounding, with Manchester City predicted to win the Premier League title for the fifth time in a row.
Pep Guardiola, in what could be his final season amid links with the England job, will apparently see his side finish on 94 points — three better than last season’s haul.
And that will give them clear daylight over Arsenal, tipped to come second on 86 points after bagging 89 this year.

Liverpool should once again come third, with new boss Arne Slot expected to keep them in the Champions League.
And Manchester United, rejuvenated under the watch of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, are predicted to clinch the fourth and final spot for Europe’s elite competition.
Bagging the two Europa League spots are Chelsea and Aston Villa, with the latter seemingly unable to repeat last year’s feat of a fourth-place finish despite their lavish spending.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are backed for the Europa Conference League, having missed out on sixth place by just two points.

Interestingly, the rest of the top 10 — West Ham, Newcastle and Brentford, are all predicted to finish on 57 points.
The trio will apparently come 10 points ahead of 11th-place Crystal Palace, who are followed by Bournemouth, Everton and Fulham.
Brighton are then tipped to have a disastrous season by finishing 15th on just 35 points, meaning they beat relegation by just a single win.
Southampton and Leicester are also expected to stay up by the skin of their teeth.
But it’s bad news for Nottingham Forest and Wolves, who are tipped for 18th and 19th in the table.
Finally, newly-promoted Ipswich Town have drawn the short straw and are predicted to finish last with just 18 points — 11 less than 19th-place Wolves and 16 from safety.
