A supercomputer has now identified Liverpool as the current frontrunner to win the 2025/26 Premier League title.
This projection comes after recent wins by Liverpool (4-2 over Bournemouth), Arsenal (1-0 against Manchester United), and Manchester City (4-0 over Wolves).
Despite those results, Arne Slot’s team currently sit fourth in the league, trailing Manchester City, Tottenham, and newly-promoted Sunderland on goal difference.
Opta’s supercomputer favors Liverpool in title race over Man City and Arsenal
Although it’s still very early in the season, with plenty of football left to play, Opta’s supercomputer has given Liverpool a 29.7% chance of winning the title this season.
Here’s how the probabilities currently stand:
Liverpool – 29.7%
Arsenal – 28%
Manchester City – 21.7%
Chelsea – 5.5%
Will Liverpool’s attack and Arsenal’s defense decide the title?
While Liverpool remain strong contenders, defensive issues persist. There’s optimism, however, that Ryan Gravenberch’s return to midfield could help solidify the team.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are showing defensive strength but still seem to lack firepower up front. The performance of new signing Viktor Gyokeres could be key to improving their attacking threat. If he delivers, Liverpool may have a serious challenge on their hands.
Upcoming clashes could shift the title picture
Though it’s still too early to make firm conclusions, Liverpool’s next two matches could offer clearer insight into their title chances.
They face Newcastle away next Monday, followed by a home clash with Arsenal the following Sunday. With Newcastle possibly missing striker Alexander Isak, the atmosphere at St James’ Park will likely be intense.
If Liverpool can pick up at least four points from those two fixtures, it would be a solid outcome. Anything less, though, and we could see their title odds drop significantly in the supercomputer’s future forecasts.
