The Premier League title race has taken another twist, with the Opta SuperComputer delivering a significant update following Manchester City’s dramatic 3-3 draw against Everton. According to the latest data, Arsenal’s chances of lifting the trophy have soared to 86.53%, reflecting a major shift in momentum.
City’s slip at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, where Jeremy Doku’s late equalizer salvaged a point, leaves Pep Guardiola’s side five points behind Arsenal, albeit with a game in hand. However, the SuperComputer now gives City only a 13.47% probability of overtaking Mikel Arteta’s team in the remaining fixtures.
The updated forecast comes after a pulsating encounter that saw City fight back from behind multiple times, but ultimately drop two critical points. For Arsenal, the result is a huge boost as they prepare for a crucial away clash against West Ham, while City host Brentford at the Etihad a day earlier.
Opta’s analysis underscores how the draw has reshaped the title dynamics, with Arsenal now firmly in the driver’s seat. The Gunners’ next test will be against a determined West Ham side, while City must regroup quickly to keep their fading hopes alive.
