Supercomputer predicts Manchester United top four chances after Tottenham slip-up

It has been another dramatic week in the race for the top four in the Premier League, with Manchester United being handed a huge let-off on Wednesday night.

The Reds of course suffered a slip-up in their quest to qualify for next season’s Champions League, with Ralf Rangnick’s side being held to a 1-1 draw at bottom-of-the-table Burnley.

The result, coupled with West Ham’s win over Watford, saw United drop out of the top four, and left the door wide open for Arsenal and Tottenham behind them.

The latter, though, couldn’t take that opportunity on Wednesday night, with Spurs missing the chance to go level on points with United, throwing away a 2-1 lead against Southampton as they fell to a 3-2 defeat.

According to the FiveThirtyEight supercomputer, United have just a 19 per cent to finish in the top four, with Arsenal and Tottenham still seen as the favourites.

The Gunners lead the way with a 40 per cent
