JAKARTA - A super computer predicts the final standings of the Premier League based on the current performance of each team. Shockingly, defending champions Liverpool are expected to finish in eighth.
This is a great start to the 2020/21 season, which took place a month later than usual as the previous season was postponed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Leicester City currently sit at the top of the standings after picking up 18 points from their first eight matches. Under it, respectively, are Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Southampton.
Manchester United fell to 14th after winning only three of their first eight games, while Arsenal are 11th after suffering four defeats.
Meanwhile, West Brom, Burnley and Sheffield United who are in the relegation zone did not claim a single win in the first two months of the new season.
The statisticians at the Football Web Pages have created a supercomputer that calculates the percentage of each possible outcome in each Premier League game for the remainder of the season.
Using the most likely results, they are able to predict the final standings and make compelling analyzes.
The super computer believes Jose Mourinho will claim the title with Tottenham. Both won 86 points with Leicester, Spurs winning one goal difference.
Chelsea are expected to secure third place, but most surprising in the top four will be Aston Villa - who are expected to earn 84 points this season.
The surprises don't end there, as Southampton and West Ham are fifth and sixth in the table. Ironically, the favorites to win at the start of the season, Manchester City and Liverpool are seventh and eighth.
This is certainly not good news for Manchester United and Arsenal, who are in 10th and 11th position. While their European ticket competitors Wolves are down at 13th.
However, what is not too surprising is Burnley, West Brom and Sheffield United are predicted to remain relegated at the end of the season.
