Opta's supercomputer gave Liverpool a 60.3% chance of winning their second Premier League crown, per Sky Sports. Their chances have steadily increased in the last few weeks.
Pep Guardiola's Man City are now second favourite to win the league. They have been given a 34.3% chance.
Arsenal, seeking their first league title in 20 years, have been given a 4.98% chance, while Chelsea has a 0.32% chance.
