Liverpool's hopes of winning the Premier League title have been predicted by a supercomputer. The Reds moved to the top of the table at the weekend after their 2-1 win over Brighton.

Arne Slot's side capitalised on rare defeats from Manchester City and Arsenal to move up to the Premier League summit. City lost 2-1 away at Bournemouth, while the Gunners lost 1-0 on their visit to Newcastle - with Liverpool now holding a two-point lead at the top of the table.

There are still 28 games left to play for Liverpool in the Premier League this season. With a little over a quarter of the season completed, a supercomputer has attempted to predict where the Reds will finish in the final standings.

Bettingexpert.com have created a supercomputer called BETSiE, which has predicted the final Premier League table, including Liverpool's overall position. They have crunched the numbers and believe the Reds will finish in second at the end of the season.

The prediction has tipped Liverpool to finish with 79.4 points (79), which is enough to be runners-up to City with 82.6 points (83). Arsenal, meanwhile, are predicted to finish third on 74.8 points (75) - almost four behind the Reds.

Liverpool are predicted to finish with approximately 24 wins, which would mean another 16 across their final 28 games. It's also been predicted that the Reds will fall to seven defeats, meaning that six more losses will come in the top-flight between now and the end of the campaign.

Chelsea are the team tipped to complete the top four spots with 68.8 points (69), ahead of Tottenham Hotspur in fifth. At the other end of the table, Leicester City, Southampton and Ipswich Town are predicted to be relegated to the EFL Championship after just one season back in the top-flight each.
