How the supercomputer has predicted the final Premier League table to look
Well, the algorithm produced by bettingexpert.com now has Man City as the narrow favourites to clinch the title.
But they can only separate the two title contenders on goal difference – with Guardiola’s men projected to claim a fifth Premier League in six years as a result of scoring more and conceding fewer.

In the race for the top four, Manchester United and Newcastle are not expected to move positions between now and the end of May.
But Brighton are projected to leapfrog Tottenham into fifth place – guaranteeing Europa League football in the process.

Meanwhile, down the wrong end of the table, Leicester would appear to be doomed following their 3-1 defeat to Man City on Saturday.
However, the supercomputer is still predicting them to clamber out of the bottom three.
The projection is that Dean Smith will guide the Foxes to safety as Everton drop out of the top flight.
Sean Dyche’s men would join Southampton and Nottingham Forest if the supercomputer’s predictions are correct.

In his column for the Daily Mail, he wrote: “Arsenal fans will not see things this way but what has happened over the last seven days has the potential to work in their team’s favour.
“Put simply, there is now no grey area around next week’s trip to Manchester — they have to get a result.
“Few sides in Premier League history, involved in a title race at this stage of a season, would have given up two points at West Ham, having led 2-0.

But Antony, 23, scored Manchester United’s opener and made the second for Diogo Dalot to sink struggling Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
Injury-hit United go above Newcastle into third — six points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham with a game in hand.
And Ten Hag compared Antony to brilliant former Chelsea winger Arjen Robben.
The Red Devils chief said: “First, I know he can also use his right but he has to do it more. Second, he can also go outside but he is so good on the inside!

“I’ve seen, for instance, Arjen Robben a lot. They used to say he has only one trick — but that one trick was so brilliant no one can stop it.
“Of course, if you can go both ways you have more variations and you are more difficult to stop.
“But you can also improve the trick that you are really good at.
“His first yards with the ball as he dribbles are so outstanding and so difficult to defend, so he has to keep doing that.”

Antony made an instant impact — scoring in all three of his first Premier League games  following his summer move from Ajax — but the top-flight goals then dried up.
Yet Ten Hag pointed to Antony’s FA Cup goals and his strikes in Europe.
He said: “Antony knows and I know that when you are a striker, you need an end product.
“But already he has a lot of end product — he   has scored in all the competitions now.
 “Eight or nine goals in his first year at United is not bad and he still has games to go.
“I can’t say he has to do it in every game.
“But in many games if you want to be a top-class player and especially in all the competitions.
“In the Premier League there are a lot of quality defenders and you have to act on a really high level.
“Today was an example where, with both goals, he made the right decisions.
“The goal he made, he was in the right spot, in the right moment to get the rebound.
“The second goal was a great team goal.
