Following Arsenal’s 2-1 victory over Chelsea on Sunday, the Opta SuperComputer has updated its Premier League title predictions, placing the Gunners as clear favorites this season. The win saw William Saliba score first, before Piero Hincapié’s own goal equalised for Chelsea, and Jurrien Timber’s header from Declan Rice’s corner sealed all three points for Mikel Arteta’s side.
The result leaves Arsenal five points ahead of Manchester City, although they have played one more game, further strengthening their title credentials. Opta’s model now gives Arsenal an 83.26% chance of winning the league.
Manchester City’s chances have dropped to 16.6%, reflecting the growing gap at the top of the table and the competitive pressure Arsenal has established.
Other title contenders have slim hopes, with Aston Villa, after a 2-0 defeat to Wolves, now holding just a 0.08% chance, while a resurgent Manchester United has a 0.02% probability of claiming the crown.
The updated projections underscore Arsenal’s dominance this season and the widening gap between them and their closest challengers as the league enters the final stages of the campaign.
