Supercomputer Predicts 2024/25 Premier League Table After Liverpool’s Derby Setback

Liverpool Drops Points in Merseyside Derby

Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table after conceding a dramatic 98th-minute equalizer against Everton. Despite the setback, Arne Slot’s side still holds a seven-point advantage over Arsenal in second place, keeping them in a commanding position in the title race.

As the Reds brace for a challenging fixture run, analytics giant Opta has updated its predictions for the final Premier League standings. How has Liverpool’s latest stumble impacted their title hopes?

Opta’s Prediction for the 2024/25 Premier League Title Race

Liverpool remains the clear favorite to lift the Premier League trophy, with Opta assigning them an 89% chance of securing their second league title. The Reds have been the most consistent team this season, boasting the division’s highest goal tally and the second-strongest defense.

Arsenal, the only realistic challenger, faces an uphill battle with just a 10.9% chance of winning their first league title since 2003/04. The Gunners’ injury crisis has deepened, with Kai Havertz joining Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Gabriel Jesus on the sidelines—potentially derailing their title aspirations.

Meanwhile, Manchester City’s inconsistent form has left them trailing behind in third place, with little hope of catching the leaders.

Everton’s Rise and Relegation Battle Intensifies

David Moyes’ return to Goodison Park has revitalized Everton, as the Toffees have picked up ten points from their last four games. They now sit comfortably above the relegation zone, projected to finish 16th.

At the bottom, Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton are predicted to be relegated, struggling to cope with the demands of the top flight. Wolverhampton Wanderers, despite a poor season, are expected to narrowly escape the drop.
