Supercomputer predicts Premier League 2022/23 season including top four and relegation

A supercomputer has predicted that that Liverpool will be crowned Premier League champions for the second time in four years.

The Reds missed out on the title to Manchester City by one point last season, with Pep Guardiola's men finishing top of the division for the fourth time under his management. In response Jurgen Klopp has splashed out a club-record fee for Benfica striker Darwin Nunez, though they have lost Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich.

City meanwhile have further strengthened Guardiola's star-filled with the additions of Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez. Kalvin Phillips is also set to arrive at the Etihad Stadium after City agreed a fee with Leeds for the midfielder on Friday.

Despite those additions, a Mirror Football supercomputer has given Guardiola's men just a 24 per cent chance of retaining their title. Instead, it believes that Liverpool are the overwhelming favourites to wrestle it from City's hands.

The supercomputer puts Klopp's chances of getting his hands back on the trophy at 71 per cent. Both City and Liverpool are rated as having a 100 per cent chance of finishing in the Champions League qualification places.

The side with the next highest chance of finishing in the top four is said to be Arsenal. Mikel Arteta has seen Alexandre Lacazette leave, but has brought in Fabio Vieira and Marquinhos, with Gabriel Jesus expected to follow that duo through the welcome door in the coming days.
