Supercomputer predicts where Manchester United & Manchester City will finish in Premier League on these points

Manchester City are still on course to regain the Premier League title this season, despite drawing 1-1 with Southampton on the weekend according to experts.

Pep Guardiola’s side sit top of the table by nine points, with second-place Liverpool having a game in hand.

City rivals Manchester United on the other hand secured a late winner against West Ham, bumping them up to fourth in the table, thanks to Marcus Rashford’s goal.

Given the above results, let’s take a look at where the experts think both clubs will finish come the end of this season.

The figures provided by FiveThirtyEight have been calculated and here’s where they predict the Sky Blues and the Red Devils will finish come 22 May.

Glory for Guardiola, but disappointment for United

Despite their draw against Southampton, City have been in fantastic form this season, winning 12 of their last 13 Premier League games.

Their performances this campaign, including a 6-3 win over Leicester City, a 4-0 victory over Newcastle United and a 7-0 drubbing of Leeds United.

United on the other hand have had a hit-and-miss season with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer being sacked in November due to poor results.

Ralf Rangnick was appointed as interim manager until the end of the campaign, with a permanent boss due to be appointed in the summer. The German has altered how the club plays, but will it be enough to secure a top four finish?

Here’s a breakdown of how the experts predict the top six will be.

1. Manchester City

It’s no surprise that City are predicted to regain their Premier League title this season, with the site predicting the Sky Blues to finish top of the table with 92 points.

2. Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp’s men will be City’s closest challengers according to the supercomputer, finishing on 84 points.

The Reds have the same amount of defeats as the league leaders (2), but four more draws (6) than the Manchester club.

3. Chelsea

Last season’s Champions League winners have struggled recently in the league, winning only one of their last five. Despite this, experts predict they’ll come third in the table with 76 points.

4. Tottenham Hotspur

Taking the last top four spot will be Tottenham Hotspur according to the supercomputer with 65 points. Antonio Conte’s side currently sit seventh in the table, but have a few games in hand on teams around and above them.

5. Arsenal

Mikel Arteta’s men are set to scoop a Europa League group stage place, finishing one point below their north London rivals Tottenham with 64 points. Arsenal fans will want their club to do anything to finish above Spurs come May.

6. Manchester United

Look away now United fans. The experts don’t think Rangnick can guide the club to a top four finish this season, instead coming sixth and qualify for the Europa Conference League play-off round with 61 points.

It’s technically a place in Europe, but the Red Devils are expected to finish in a Champions League spot. Without a top four finish, it could lead to any potential manager linked to the permanent job hesitating to take it.
