Supercomputer Predicts Premier League Table After Arsenal Claim Rare Anfield Victory

History suggested that Arsenal would cap a miserable week on Sunday afternoon when they traveled to Anfield. The Gunners hadn't won at Liverpool's fabled grounds since 2012, when their manager, Mikel Arteta, started in midfield and Lukas Podolski opened the scoring in a 2-0 victory.

Theirhumiliation at League Two Fleetwood Townwas fresh in the memory, yet the Gunners performed with a cool precision that seemingly only champions possess. Liverpool threw plenty at them after Kai Havertz's early strike, but failed to make the most of the momentum they were able to build as the Kop roared.

Arsenal eventually saw out a statement victory on their familiar terms, grinding the Reds down by way of defensive stubbornness. Suddenly, their Highbury disaster merely appears to be a comical blip rather than a sign of collapse.

And now, nine games into the season, they have control at the Premier League's summit. Here's how Opta'ssupercomputer forecasts the 2026-27 Premier League table after this weekend's action.

Supercomputer Predicts 2026-27 Premier League Title Winner Brighton have now beaten the top two. Chelsea 16 59.74 1.45% Arsenal 's chances of retaining the Premier League title took a big jump after they followed Manchester City's second consecutive defeat bywinning at Anfield.

The champions now boast more than a 68% chance of ensuring the title remains in north London, with City's chances-not even taking into account a potential points deduction-reduced to less than 19% It's hard to envisage who could challenge the champions other than the guilty Cityzens, with a potential contender, Liverpool, stymied by the Gunners on Sunday. The Reds are already nine points adrift, and barely have a 3% chance of winning the league.

But how about Brighton & Hove Albion? By winning at Etihad Stadium on Saturday, Fabian Hürzeler's Seagulls have now beaten both of the top two.

It wouldn't quite be a Leicester City, yet undeniably extraordinary. Still, Opta rates their title hopes as relatively slim (6.86%).

Supercomputer Predicts 2026-27 Champions League Race Spurs are on the up. Man Utd 7 44.00 1.48% It'd take something remarkable for Arsenal to not play Champions League soccer, and although a dark cloud lingers over Man City, they, too, are projected to finish in the top five with ease.
