Supercomputer predicts final Premier League table after Arsenal's first loss

• A supercomputer has sowed seeds of doubt into Arsenal's chances of lifting the Premier League title this season
• After two painful near misses, many thought this would be the season Mikel Arteta's side would get their affairs correctly
• There is also bad news for Manchester United, who won for the first time in six games with a comeback win vs Brentford

Arsenal's wait for their first Premier League title since 2004 is set to last for a while longer if the predictions of a supercomputer are to be taken seriously.

The Gunners have suffered back-to-back near misses, with Manchester City running away with the league both times.

Mikel Arteta's side suffered their first defeat of the season this weekend, losing 2-0 to Bournemouth. The North Londoners picked up their third red card of the season, but unlike previous incidents, they failed to hang on for a point.

Supercomputer predicts final Premier League table

Opta's Supercomputer puts Arsenal's chance of winning the league at only 7.59% which will see them finish third.

Manchester City have been touted to win another title with a 76.7% chance. Pep Guardiola's side left it late to beat Wolves over the weekend thanks to a late John Stones goal.

Liverpool have been primed to finish second, with their chances of lifting the league standing at 15.51%. The Reds currently lead the standings with 21 points after eight games, one ahead of Manchester City and four ahead of Arsenal and Aston Villa.

Arne Slot's side beat Chelsea at Anfield on Sunday. The Blues have been earmarked for a fourth-place finish just ahead of Aston Villa.

Where will Manchester United finish?

The supercomputer also spells doom for Manchester United despite their recent win over Brentford. The Red Devils have been given a ninth-place finish, with Tottenham, Brighton and Newcastle United all finishing above them.

Why Raya wasn't sent off

Legit.ng has also reported why David Raya wasn't sent off vs Bournemouth.

The Arsenal goalkeeper brought down Evanilson in his penalty area. However, unlike his teammate, William Saliba, Raya remained on the pitch but failed to stop the resultant Justin Kluivert penalty.
