Can Arsenal Still Challenge for the Title? Supercomputer Delivers Grim Verdict Despite Liverpool Slip

Arsenal’s Title Hopes Dented Despite Liverpool’s Shock Defeat

As the Premier League title race enters its final stretch, a surprising weekend of results has reignited faint hopes for Arsenal fans — but only just. Liverpool suffered a rare defeat at the hands of Fulham, their second loss of the season, momentarily cracking open the title door. However, the Gunners’ inability to capitalize, drawing 1-1 with Everton, left them trailing by 11 points with just seven games remaining.

Could this be the beginning of a late charge from Arsenal, or is the trophy already heading to Anfield?

Liverpool Falter at Craven Cottage — But Are They Still in Control?

Liverpool appeared to be on course for a routine win when Alexis Mac Allister opened the scoring early against Fulham. But what followed stunned fans and analysts alike: a clinical response from Fulham that saw them bag three goals and leave the league leaders reeling. It was only their second loss of the campaign — a statistic that highlights just how dominant Arne Slot’s side has been.

Despite the defeat, Liverpool remain in a commanding position. They still top the Premier League table and possess an 11-point cushion over Arsenal, with a head-to-head clash against the Gunners looming in early May.

Arsenal Miss Their Moment Against Everton

While Liverpool’s slip provided Arsenal with a golden opportunity to close the gap, the Gunners stumbled themselves, unable to break down a resolute Everton side. A 1-1 draw saw Mikel Arteta’s men fail to fully capitalize, continuing a frustrating trend of missed chances in big moments.

Arsenal’s form in recent weeks has been inconsistent, raising questions about whether they have the resilience to mount a genuine late challenge. With just seven matches left and a daunting fixture list ahead, even perfection may not be enough.

The Data Speaks: Supercomputer Gives Liverpool a 99.3% Chance of Winning the League

Opta’s renowned supercomputer has run the numbers — and the results are brutal for Arsenal fans. Liverpool are now given a 99.3% probability of securing the Premier League title, even allowing for as many as four defeats in their final seven matches.

Arsenal’s path, by contrast, is razor-thin. They would need to win all their remaining games and hope for a significant Liverpool collapse. Among the Reds’ upcoming opponents are Chelsea, Tottenham, Brighton, and Crystal Palace — all capable of an upset if Liverpool’s form dips.

But the supercomputer assigns just a 0.7% chance of that happening.

Is There Hope for a Miracle Comeback?

While the statistics paint a bleak picture, football has a long history of defying logic. Arsenal still have a direct clash with Liverpool, which could add spice to the final weeks. However, anything less than perfection from the Gunners will likely hand Arne Slot the title in his debut season.

Could Arsenal pull off one of the most dramatic title comebacks in recent memory, or is this race effectively over?
