Supercomputer calculates the exact chance Liverpool has of winning Premier League after Chelsea win
Liverpool has been given a 63.9 per cent chance of winning the Premier League after Chelsea chipped away at the Reds' lead at the top of the table over the weekend.
Arne Slot's men were nine points clear at the beginning of December, but back-to-back draws against Newcastle and Fulham combined with the postponement of the Merseyside derby on December 7 has seen their advantage at the top cut to just two points.
While Arsenal has not been able to capitalize on Liverpool's slip, also drawing its last two matches, Chelsea has won its last five league games to emerge as the Reds' closest contenders at the top of the table.

Bettingexpert's supercomputer, BETSiE, still has Liverpool down as the clear favorite to win the title, but Chelsea is given a not insignificant 16.8 per cent chance of winning a sixth Premier League title.
Arsenal is given a 15.1 per cent chance of ending a 21-year wait for a top-flight crown, while Manchester City has a significantly lower chance with just 3.9 per cent.
Bizarrely, Tottenham apparently has a 0.2 per cent chance of winning the league, with every other club in the division handed a zero per cent chance of finishing on top of the pile.
In terms of a top-four finish, Liverpool is seemingly nailed on, with a 99.1 per cent chance of finishing in one the Champions League qualification spots.
The supercomputer predicts Liverpool to win the league with 81 points — the lowest amount since Leicester also clinched the title with 81 points in 2016.
Chelsea and Arsenal are both tipped to finish in second and third respectively with 75 points, with Manchester City in fourth on 70 points.
At the other end of the table, Southampton, Ipswich and Leicester are the three teams that are apparently the most likely to suffer relegation.
Southampton is given a 96.4 per cent chance of going straight back down, with Ipswich handed an 84.4 per cent chance of suffering the same fate. Leicester is given a better chance of avoiding the drop, but there is still a 57.7 per cent likelihood that the Foxes will go down.
