MANCHESTER CITY will retain the Premier League – but Norwich are set to return for an immediate return to the Championship, according to a supercomputer.
While Arsenal are set to finish WAY back and condemn their fans to yet another season without Champions League football.
However, there’s good news for rivals Chelsea – who have been tipped to build upon their recent success in Europe with a domestic title charge.
Liverpool are predicted to end up with a second successive third-placed finish, but Spurs, Leicester and Arsenal will miss out on a top-four place AGAIN.
In fact, bettingexpert.com supercomputer calculated the Gunners – who open the Prem season on Friday 13 August at Brentford – are odds-against just to make the TOP SIX.
Manchester United meanwhile will fall further away from the top despite the signings of Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane.

At the other end of the table, newly-promoted Norwich (5/6), Watford (Evens), and Brentford (6/5) are all touted to be relegated.
A spokesperson said: “Manchester City are hard to look past as title winners once again, so it’s no surprise that our supercomputer has them top of the pile.
“Chelsea, after last season’s drastic improvement and Champions League success, are predicted to run City closest, while Liverpool and Manchester United make up the top four.
“At the other end of the table, the newly-promoted trio of Norwich, Watford and Brentford are expected to find the step up too difficult.”
That means Partick Vieira has been backed to keep Crystal Palace up while the Europa League is set to take a toll on West Ham’s domestic campaign.

Pep Guardiola’s side remain clear favourites however with the potential additions of Jack Grealish and Harry Kane to an already strong squad.
SunSport previously reported the supercomputer’s findings last term with Chelea correctly tipped to finish in the top four.
Yet Newcastle beat the odds to survive relegation and a late collapse from Leicester saw them miss out on Champions League football.
