Despite having a five-point advantage over Manchester City in the League table as the fight for the hotly disputed Premier League title heats up, the contentious supercomputer has forecast doom for Arsenal.
Arsenal, led by Mikel Arteta, has been in outstanding form this year and has surprised rival fans with their unexpected bid for the Premier League title.
According to the most recent data from a supercomputer, Manchester City supporters shouldn’t be concerned about Arsenal’s current five-point lead over them at the top of the Premier League.

Last Sunday, when Demarai Gray’s incredible equalizer for Everton put them seven points behind Arsenal, Citymust have been a bit concerned.
It practically meant that even if the Gunners lost their last two matches against the defending champions, they would still win the Premier League.
The difference has now narrowed to five courtesy to Newcastle’s draw with Mikel Arteta’s team, which left the manager furious on the sidelines.
Arsenal are still in fine shape despite the draw against a very respectable Newcastle team, who have previously defeated Manchester City and Manchester United and narrowly lost to Liverpool.
Their next two league games, against Tottenham Hotspur and United, before facing City in early February, will really test their current form.
People will start to believe in their ability to win the title if they manage to win those games without incident, but data analysts FiveThirtyEight predict Manchester City will win the league.
The data firm projects that Guardiola’s team will win the title for the third consecutive year with a 50% likelihood, compared to Arsenal’s 42% possibility.
Newcastle and Liverpool are each given a mere 2% probability, and the other teams in the league aren’t even given that much of a chance.
The current top two teams are given a virtually 100% chance of finishing in the top four and earning a spot in the Champions League for the upcoming season.
Following United, Liverpool and Newcastle are predicted to compete for the final slot, with Jurgen Klopp’s team receiving a 48% probability and Eddie Howe’s club receiving a 49% chance.
Spurs are only given a 25% chance of finishing in the top four, which is bad news for Antonio Conte’s team despite their victory against Crystal Palace in midweek.
Following Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s awful performance against City, Brighton is given a 14% probability, which is substantially better than Chelsea’s nine.
With Southampton, Bournemouth, and Everton likely to be the bottom three, at least Chelsea isn’t predicted to be eliminated.
